Elf Of The Grey Havens said:I hope they don't do The Silmarillion or The Hobbit. Considering how much they screwed up the ones they've done, I shudder to think what a Silmarillion movie would be like.
Well, they didn't have to cut as much as they did. For instance, maybe they could have done the movies two to a book (especially considering each "book" was actually written as two books). Jackson also totally messed up the story, in many major points. Mezzored Charachter 1: Aragorn. Where did the bull about him being tempted by the ring and wanting to take it from Frodo in the first one come from? (The bit right after Boromir tried to take it) Also he was kinda a weakling. Mezzored Charachter 2: Arwen. They made her too... extreme. When you first saw her, she was like Xena: Warrior Princess. Ain't no one messin' with Arwen daughter of Elrond Halfelven. That's innacurate to the story, though. Later, she was the other extreme. In the bit about Elrond trying to get her to go to the Grey Havens, she was like uber weak-spirited. Mezzored Charachter 3: Elrond Halfelven. For reason mentioned above, in trying to get Arwen to leave middle-earth. He may not have agreed with her marrying Aragorn, but he did not try to interfere. His only conditions were that Aragorn bring the old kingdom back together. Which Aragorn did. So Elrond had no qualms. Mezzored Charachter 4: Faramir son of Denethor. he was not the weak little pansy they showed him as. He never tried to bring the ring back to Gondor. He never was even tempted by its power. He just left them in Ithilein and went on his way. Mezzored Charachter 5: Denethor son of Ecthelion. He was not a control freak, nor a glutton. He would never have ardered an attack on the lost city. He would have kept his men in Minas Tirith where they would be safe, and could help defend. There are many many more, and also some major plot flaws, but I gro weary of typing. Either you care enough about the story to have noticed, or you don't.Crunchine said:how did they mess them up? i thought they did a wonderful job, and i've read all three books. they HAD to cut out some stuff, otherwise the movie would have been 10 hours long each.
Mrs Gil-Galad Took said:I have no clue. PJ said it would take a very long time and it does. I wish they would film the Silmarillion.

Halo. Every time I think about it, tears spring to my eyes...
