I still love the film, but it is so different and I haven't even gotten to the scorching of the Shire. The Hobbit will be interesting as well. :)<br /><br />@Buddy2Blogger: The LOTR Trilogy are some of my favorites as well, and completely agree about point. The movies are basically perfection.<br /><br />I agree to a point about Hobbit because I do enjoy them, but not nearly as much. I would recommend reading the LOTR trilogy sometime, fantastic books.<br /><br />@Hamlette: Thank you, good to see we agree and I completely agree about what you have to say. Film and Literature are two entirely different entities. <br /><br />Thank you for following my blog, I will go check out your blog now.<br /><br />-JamesJames the Reviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00165238905288033483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-25731869171012710862013-06-21T15:10:24.529-04:002013-06-21T15:10:24.529-04:00Although devoted fans of The Lord of the Rings boo...<i>Although devoted fans of The Lord of the Rings books may be annoyed by changes made in the film adaptations, many of these alterations are reasonable. </i><br /><br />EXACTLY! As Marshall McLuhan pointed out, you have to translate between media. You can't just take every line of dialog from the book, change it to script format, and film it -- it just won't work. (It also doesn't work to take a screenplay or stage play, add "said" tags to the dialog, and call it a novel.) You have to make it work for the media you're using. If that means changing something to make it work better, that's what you do.<br /><br />I'm new to your blog, but I'm digging it so far!Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-45206311266542566202013-06-21T14:47:31.672-04:002013-06-21T14:47:31.672-04:00I have not read the books and am not aware of the ...I have not read the books and am not aware of the differences.<br /><br />The LOTR trilogy is one of my favorite movies, thanks to the amazing soundtrack, acting, special effects, direction and pretty much everything else.<br /><br />I think, somehow, Peter Jackson lost that magic touch with the ongoing <i>Hobbit</i> trilogy.<br /><br />B2B.Arunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16498276962097853996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-59304251461020023452013-06-21T14:23:38.866-04:002013-06-21T14:23:38.866-04:00Ok, you're right about that, but IMO you'l...Ok, you're right about that, but IMO you'll have a field day with ROTK. No plotline is left unchanged. Seriously. I can't wait to hear what you have to say about the Hobbit movies once you read the book...;)JThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791148729590612474noreply@blogger.com
