Peter Jackson is God

[Black Breathalizer]

I have now seen TTT seven times (and counting) and with each viewing I find myself more and more in awe of the work of Peter Jackson and his incredible crew. They have taken a great story and transformed it into a set of film classics for the ages.

While everyone is entitled to their opinions, the criticisms that I've read here of the movies are without merit. The only real problem is time--it's a three hour movie that still feels rushed, particularly at the conclusion. But this will no doubt be addressed when another 50 minutes is added to the Extended DVD.

I can understand how Tolkien Purists might be taken aback by some of the changes in the movie. They caught me by surprise too. But the bottom line is: THEY WORK. Watching the movie again, you can't help but appreciate the fact that they were brilliantly conceived and really enhance the overall emotional themes of Tolkien's work. And THAT is what is really important in any movie adaption of a beloved book.

Bravo to Peter Jackson. Thanks to PJ, Frodo and Company will be alive and well for countless generations of video-viewers to come.

I agree and I am glad there is at least one person here that has the same feelings as I do. I am a huge fan of the books, however, like he said, the way the movies have been done, THEY WORK! I find it funny also that some people are complaining about scenes that "have been cut" that still might be in RotK. Get over it people, little itty bitty parts that are great parts in the book, would plainly suck on screen. I commend the crew that made the movies, at least they had an idea to put together the world we love, and in doing so have brought in countless fans who otherwise had no idea what the heck Middle Earth is. All I see around here anymore is complaint after complaint and critique after critique, plain and simple the bottom line is the movies are a huge success and while parts of them differ from the book, you still grasp and capture the same story. The theme and point of Lord of the Rings is still delved into the movies, so if a certain part of the movie is taken out, yet the main theme still remains then I am happy and that is exactly what has happened...

I cant stand it when people say that PJ isnt the end all say all, at least accept that there might have been some way it could have worked that PJ didnt try.
And thats just the thing...with all these changes and total killing of characters the movies really *dont* capture the theme of the books....well...maybe on some waaaay way vauge idea, but it all could have been done SOOOOO much better....IMO

What characters are different? Go ahead, say Faramir. Yes, he was different for a few scenes, but then he gave us the Faramir that we all know and love. Granted I didn't like the fact that he was portrayed that way, however, he still showed who he really is in the end. He still showed that letting them go was more important than anything, even if his life would be "forfeit" and thus distancing himself from his brother and lending us his true character....

Thank god for Sween. BB, why don't you go bury yourself in the hole that is Peter Jackson's butt?

[Black Breathalizer]

Frankly, trying to judge Movie Faramir's character after TTT is like judging Movie Boromir's character after the Mines of Moria. We're only halfway through PJ's depiction of Faramir.

My guess is that after ROTK, most people (except for maybe the Purists who hang out here) will love the Movie Faramir even more than they did Book Faramir.

He isn't saying that at all, in fact he is stating something different from the majority on this board and is getting bashed for it....
