I have to say I'm not happy with all the deviation from the books everyone has written about. I don't need a page-for-page translation, but I think it should stay as accurate to the book as possible (and still work as a movie).

Too much deviation and you get a horrible movie like "Queen of the Damned," which was a great book but deviated from the plot and events of the book that it might as well have renamed it to something else.

Well i actually think, in the first movie anyway, that they fid achieve this. Some scenes(barrowwights and the trek through old forrest) would push the movie into overtime, and its hard to stay seated through a whole movie, no matter how good it is, for four and half hours straight. Just the same, they deleted characters(tom bombadil, glorfindel, etc) so that the audience with minimal experience with the Tolkien Fantasy would not be confused by characters who are more related with the greater "mythology" than with the actual tale and plot of lord of teh rings.

In the age of commercialism, they also realised the marketting ability of some characters if their importance is raised, eg. arwen. This serves to gain a larger target audience so a greater return may be achieved from teh venture. It is also more appealing to the general populus to have some form of a love story within the plot. This contributes to getting more bums on cinema seats, and in this day and age, that is the aim anyways.

So under these factors, i think Peter Jackson and the production team did a fantastic job in converting the epic from paper to screen. If you watched the 1970s cartoon version of Lord of the Rings then you know waht i mean:)

OMG best 16 minutes of my life!! :eek:

[Chewbacco]

I hear that they have an hour preview of The Two Towers. It shows how they made it and has at least 15 minutes of never-before-seen footage! This is not confirmed yet.

[Jared]

HELP ME!!!! IT SAYS NO PLAYLIST ENTERIES!!!!

[Boba Rhett]

It's been taken down I guess. :D

[Darth Petrillo]

i dont think it will be as good as the fellowship? honestly. I mean didn't anyone read the book?

[Boba Rhett]

Yes.. but what does that have to do with it? :indif: the Two Towers book was great.

[lightspeed]

Why wo'nt it work for me?
:crybaby:

[Jared]

Because it has been taken down.

[thehomicidalegg]

I think it will be better, because it's in The Two Towers, that the plot actually thickens and develops.... Out of the three books, its prolly my favourite. Thats just my opinion though
