[QUOTE="JRRNeiklot, post: 1231603, member: 717"] The thing is, they changed stuff for no other reason than to put their fingerprints on it. By "they" I mean Peter Jackson and his crew. He did a pretty thourough character assassination on both Theoden and Faramir. For no reason, whatsoever. Faramir was one of the most noble heroes in Middle Earth. There was no reason to make him as bad, or worse than, Boromir. He made Theoden look like an idiot for going to Helm's Deep. Then the elves come to Helm's Deep. Why? Their leaving Middle Earth set the tone that this was MAN'S war. The hobbits have to talk the Ents into attacking Saruman. That made these ancient beings as dumb as a rock. Now they leave Saruman's downfall out. Hell, even in FOTR, Frodo solves the riddle to get into Moria instead of Gandalf? Why? All those except possibly the Saruman closure were needless changes. They were not cut for time, nor did they improve the film one iota. It's just a hack job for PJ to try and improve on an already terriffic piece of work. It's like someone copying the Mona Lisa and turning her smile into a frown. [/QUOTE]
