In Reply to: I agree with your positive review, but find fewer faults. posted by Audiophilander on December 22, 2001 at 22:43:02:
I was really put off by the dwarf-throwing joke, not from a civil-rights perspective (though it is reprehensible), but because it ruined the moment and was utterly unnecessary. Otherwise, I was utterly captivated by the movie. I was caught off-guard by its' emotional impact - I had wet eyes and a wrenched gut at the end.
It is interesting to read the reaction of someone who hadn't read the books.
Follow Ups:
The dwarf throwing remark was a big mistake. Still, the movie was probably better than the book on several levels.I'm now rereading the book and finding its flaws pretty obvious. Fine as a story, it's not superb as literature or fiction as we know it today.
Would have been nice to have seen Tom Bombadil and the Barrow Wight in the movie. Probably too difficult to integrate them with the story. I believe they are not all that well integrated in the book, which makes it even more difficult.
