In Reply to: Remake of "Lord of the Rings" ! - - Includes my complete script posted by Bambi B on January 12, 2006 at 09:24:10:
Hi,
back in the Sixties I was a big fan of LOTR. I still have a Frodo Lives button in a box somehwere. The movie is true to the books. They cut a few things out; other than that they didn't screw with it.My guess is that if you didn't like the movie the books won't do it for you either. But I love them. I'd suggest just picking up the forst one and reading a couple pages. If it doesn't work for you fine. If it does in a few weeks you'll love the movie.
Follow Ups:
Disagree that they didn'nt screw with it-ranged from the major (having Boromir make a play for the ring to improve his standing with Denathor) to minor (Gollum tossing the lembas bread over the ledge to implicate Sam).All in all, quite an acheivement for Peter Jackson. The 3rd film was the weakest of the 3, IMO.
When Gandalf says before the gates "The Ring bearer has fulfulled his quest." and all hell then breaks loose in Mordor.Strange why that was not used in the movie.
