[QUOTE]Originally posted by EdipisReks: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Woodside Kid: [QB]Oh, please. Jackson hasn't [i]touched[/i] the bloody books;[/QUOTE]you're right, he hasn't touched the books. if he had touched the books, he might have done better since the books have a plot synopsis on the back. there wasn't [i]one[/i] fucking scene that was right in the first movie. would it have been so hard to make most of the right? i am well aware that they can't make the movies just like the books, but there is no reason to change everything. was it [i]soooooo[/i] necessary to make the the battle between the West and Sauron so wrong? was it so necessary to make Isildur accidentally cut the ring from Sauron's hand instead of doing it on purpose with the Hilt shard of his father's sword after Sauron was momentarily stunned? instead of making Isildur and his kin and Gil-Galad heroic, jackson made them pathetic. yea, i guess you can say it was jackson's own "vision", but if Jackson wanted to produce his own "vision" then he should have made a movie set in an orginal universe. was it really necessary for Jackson to make Arwen the one who saved the Hobbits at the river? Arwen doesn't have many lines in the book. Liv Tyler should have known that going in. she's ugly anyway, so who wants to see more of her? they cut out one of my favorite characters to have more of a chick so that teenage boys will get all excited. doesn't sound like responsible film making. i can accept the chase from the Shire the way it was done. i can accept the cutting out of the Old Forest. in a movie adaptation of this type it is necessary to cut out the "character building only" stuff sometimes. however, it was totally unnecessary to warp the flavor and character of [i]every[/i] scene. and it is every scene, believe me. this distortion is why i hate the movies. someone who actually cared about the material could have made a movie that was just as "good" and just as concise while still being in the spirit of LoTR. [QUOTE] was assigned them in high school [/QUOTE]wow, forced to read a series of books a quarter century, and now you're an expert. you might be twice my age, but [i]you[/i] need to grow up.
