The New Film (and Associated Games Etc.)

SO, has anybody else noticed some almighty (although probably forgiveable) innacuracies and changes in the film? What do you people think? What about the new games? Especially the one from Games Workshop. Post replies now, you know you can't resist!

As far as the 'inaccuracies' of the movies go, I feel that to be an invalid term. Peter Jackson's goal is not accuracy, but entertainment. He is making a translation, not without respect (in feeling, intent and even congruent content) to the original. I think the best thing to do is to go see a movie and criticize it as such, not for something it is not trying to be.

Yeah, you're right. I just wanted to make sure I was right. I criticise too much I'm afraid! Also, what about the Hobbit play on the west end? I'm doing a graphics project on re-designing the set and costumes because some fans thought it was wrong. I haven't seen it personally.
