[QUOTE="Nightfall, post: 1283006, member: 374"] Apparently so. Now me I've READ the books like many of you. Hell when I first heard that they were going to do a live action movie on the trilogy I was like most, skeptical and unbelieving. Then I saw the Fellowship. It wasn't perfect, it wasn't visionary. But it WAS great, inspiring and felt like "THIS is the version of Tolkien that some read to me!" It was indeed listening to a great storyteller tell a classic in his own sense of self. You felt. You saw. You believed. And while it wasn't faithful to every element of Tolkien's Middle Earth, it was STILL Middle Earth. And while the Two Towers had some troubles, I felt it was still Middle Earth. And I'm sure I'll feel the same way with Return of the King. My point is this: Give me THESE movies any day of the week than some crappy cop drama that I can predict any day. I may have known the book, but I felt the joy again from when I first read the series. [/QUOTE]
