In Reply to: Lord of the Rings, after due contemplation.... posted by late on February 19, 2002 at 13:07:25:
Unlike books that have really have no page limit (look at the ponderous drivel Stephen King turns out), there is a time limit for a commercial movie (for many reasons). They pushed the limit with this movie. Perhaps, maybe it should have been a made-for-TV mini-series? Or, maybe the script writers should have consulted you first in order to assure your satisfaction? But then, there would be all those other people who would be dissatisfied because their favorite part wasn't included. Basically, you've setup a no win situation for the film producer, director, etc.Catch 22 was another movie that could be criticized for all of the great lines, scenes, etc. that were left out. However, given the complexity of the book, the movie captured the essence & gave a pretty good depiction of the author's ideas.
Why not just learn to enjoy what the movie makers have done - and leave it at that?
