  I Hated that Ending. I knew nothing of the books and now that I watched the movie,I will not read any of the books or watch any other movie to follow. The Lack of an Ending really sucked.

  It probably won't be a big problem as an awful lot IS resolved by the end of The Fellowship of the Ring. By that time we've got to know many of the major characters and had the excitement of the episodes with the Black Riders and the Balrog. Both Elrond & Galadrial have been encountered, Gandalf is dead (nudge, nudge) and Boromir appears towards the end as the "surprise" villain. The breaking of the fellowship itself can be set as an heroic "resolution" on Frodo's part. They'll most likely portray Frodo and Sam (who is of course the TRUE hero of LOTR) sailing off down river to their heroic fate as the climax of the first part - and so it is.

  Hi,
  I had hopes they would finally do a decent LOTR movie. But where are the Hobbits? Not sure I'm interested in seeing another fond memory slowly gutted onscreen by Hollywood.

    Previews look good & I've seen the making-of short. No one knows until it's released, but all the major Hobbit characters are in the film, all properly scaled from what I've seen so far, hairy feet and all. The director is a LOTR fanatic, a New Zealander best known for his independent film "Heavenly Creatures". Film was also shot in NZ and locations look stunning. I have hopes for this series, we'll all know soon.

      I've downloaded a couple of the trailers, and it looks like they've done a good job of adjusting the sizes of the different beings. Hobbits appear to be about 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall. I'd pictured hobbits a slightly more heavy-set than they look in the film, but it's still nice work. Nice casting all around, too. The characters as portrayed in the film have insinuated themselves into my "mind's eye" as I read through Lord of the Rings this time.
