I would like to have seen it more accurate but it is Impossible to do so without boring non-fans. I mean how much longer do you want to make it. I do wish they had made the nazguls a little more threatening. The problem was that they lost their feel of danger. Like in a cheap eighties movie called "SOULTAKER" I saw on Mystery Science Theatre, I swear. At twelve this girl is supposed to die. So it keeps zooming in on this clock until eventually the clock is past 12 and there is no more apparent releveance with the time of her death. In the same manner. Its seems every situation w/ the nazgul is resolved quickly and each time making them less apparently dangerous to a lesser extent.
The movie was great and I loved it. And I can see both sides. Although I think I lean towards Darth Taters argument. It's mean to be a story slightly different than that of the book. Like somebody (my apologies) said earlier "You cannot take information from a book and replay it on the movie screen" The Massive amounts of Minor charecters which would give the movie and an unrealistic depth unlike the which minor charecters enhance the book. Since a book is written and does not regard the dimension of time,(you can read over it again, you can read it in more than one sitting.) It's structure is tight enough to support that amount of depth. So they have to make up for that loss of depth in major charecters. As far as the Nazguls go. I think they can be defied. Frodo does defy them in The book "By Elbereth and Luthien the Fair, you shall have niether the ring or me". So I see them as verbally defyable.
