Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fenros" data-source="post: 561477" data-attributes="member: 975">I totally agree with you Mouseferatu.Even though I absolutely love the Lotr Trilogy thus far, I still find small mistakes in it that I wish weren't there. I was fine with the Faramir change. For the same reasons you mentioned. Having him easily shrug off the temptation of the one ring would have (as you said) "undermined both the power of the Ring and the strength of the other characters".However, I wish Jackson and crew would've taken the same amount of effort and attention through out the rest of the cast of characters. Having the Ringwraiths easily defeated at Weathertop weakens any other appearance of Ringwraiths in the future. Anytime a Ringwraith shows up, I resist the urge to say, "why worry? Just throw a torch at it." But I have overcome this by simply saying the Weathertop scene is flawed and that Ringwraiths are indeed something to be feared. I can't speak for other movie watchers. Their belief that the Ringwraiths aren't really that bad could be reinforced by the fact that they ride beasts that are just as susceptible to an arrow as any other normal man or animal. Maybe the Ringwraiths should ride Oliphants. They seem to be able to take more than one arrow.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> So where Jackson, Boyens, and Walsh did a good job of tweaking Faramir, they didn't do so well with the Ringwraiths. IMHOBut damn, I still think the LotR trilogy is still the best live action fantasy films to date.</blockquote>
