I'd be interested in hearing all of the things that you didn't like about the movie, and why.Personally, I loved the movie, though in a rleated thread, I posted a number of departures that I can agree are significantly different from the book, but ultimately excused and tolerable, because frankly, Tolkien wrote such an excellent series of novels, and in each book there is simply so much going on that there are many difficult choices that you have to make, as there is only three hours to show the movie in. That constraint means, besides the mediums being very different, that there must be some significant changes and differences from the book to the movie. At the end of the day, I think the movie was excellent, and while some elements are indeed missed, as a Tolkien "purist" I can excuse these changes in deference to the medium and the very real constraints upon the different medium. I love the books, of course, and this movie is surely quite excellent!Though I'm quite interested in your views Celebrim! Come on now, pour yourself a cup of coffee, relax, and let forth with it! What do you think is so wrong with the movie, and how is the good Professor Tolkien rolling over in his grave because of Peter Jackson's presentation of "The Two Towers"?<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Semper Fidelis,SHARK</blockquote>
