Well, as soon as Celebrim raises the $310 + million dollars to create HIS"definitive" Tolkien translation of the series, we'll be able to see a great movie. Until then, we'll have to just deal with this truly horrible, horrible movie.
Frankly dude, I think your criticisms are weak. Nothing says pedantic more than criticising somebody's ADAPTATION of a book because its not the same as the book. And let's face it, Tolkien lacked one crucial thing all writers need: AN EDITOR
Most of the changes, to me, make perfect sense. And the pictures that I saw on screen brought Middle-Earth alive. The whole Faramir bitchfest is a strawman. Faramir became a more well-rounded character, as far as I'm concerned, BECAUSE of his indecision and similarity to his brother. In the end, he made the right decision. Doesn't that show his quality?
The criticisms of the quality of the film making alone make me question everything you and other nitpickers have said.
Why can't people just leave their baggage at the door and enjoy something at face value?
