Of course! I thought they were great movies! I even loved many of the changes when they perfectly upheld the spirit of the books (which was often rare unfortunately).

Good to know. I thought that you thought that they were meritless and pointless.

Book-accurate movies of LOTR would have been a) far more successful; b) amazingly superior. Criticizing a film adaptation because it is different from the books can often make a lot of sense in many situations.


That's a bit general. You could be right, I just think that the issue is more complex than that.
