Good film adaptations of books by voxwoman2004-12-30 11:23:41
  LOTR (Jackson version) (n/t) by voxwoman2004-12-30 11:26:24

      I though it did a pretty good job by voxwoman2004-12-30 11:28:03
        I have to agree with McNutcase. by hadji 2004-12-30 11:35:04
For one thing, the movie reduced the council of Elrond to squabbling children. Also, Loth Lorien was badly glossed over in the movie. And there were some other things that weren't quite right.

I agree that as a movie, it wasn't bad. But as a translation of the book, it was rather deficient.
