[QUOTE="jdavis, post: 573955, member: 8704"] Nothing about these movies was cheap, and Jackson put years of work into them, he is still working on them, He has been nominated for a Golden Globe for the movie. I wouldn't of went to see a direct movie adaptation of the books, it would be like Oklahoma the musical, only in Elvish. And it would of been 20 hours long. I love the books, I have read them dozens of times, but if Tom Bombadil would of shown up in the first movie I would of ran out screaming. I don't fault 90% of the changes Peter Jackson has made and I am sure each change was a hard decision for him. Tolkien is a hot topic, his books are the template for the whole fantasy genre. Not everybody likes his books but where would D&D of been without the LOTR books. I'm sure that Peter Jackson knew that he would be under the microscope doing these movies. Edit: two golden Globe awards. [/QUOTE]
