In Reply to: Why is it that some Boston critics have to pretend like they're writing reviews for The New Yorker? posted by Audiophilander on January 2, 2004 at 21:58:15:
Check out the current issue.For some book fans, no adaptation will ever be worthy enough. They will never be comfortable with another's personal vision, much less changes in emphasis or cuts - all necessary in the transition from page to screen.
The Boston Glove writer has missed much in the film, particularly regarding character development.
Jackson's LOTR is not perfect - few movies are. But I believe the essentials of Tolkien's story are well captured in Jackson's films. The spirit and themes of the book are there, if one has eyes to see.
