[QUOTE="Curranos, post: 8320, member: 1516"] Hm where to begin? I am possibly the only person in the entire world who was disapointed with the movie. The movie was visually spectacular and if this was the only reqirement of a film then it would be posible to claim that this was indeed a great movie. It captured in so many ways how I imagined Middle Earth to be but the story and the characters were in some instances altered so radicaly that the original story that was first told by Tolkien was lost. I guess what I hoped for was a movie of Tolkien's work what I recieved was a re-invention and reworking of Tolkien's novel. I belive some people will say that there is nothing wrong with this indeed this new material is better than Tolkiens original work but then as Tolkien himself wrote "White!" he sneered. "It serves as a begining. White cloth may be dyed. the white page can be overwritten;and white light can be broken." "In which case it is no longer white," said I "And he that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom." It matters little now the movie is done we have this facsimile of Tolkiens work a good movie in the fantasy genre but not a great movie as movies go or even as an adaptation of the book. If anyone is the least interested in specific details let me know [/QUOTE]
