Re: For my part, what I hated most wasn't what they took out... imlad Send a noteboard - 02/08/2012 07:05:28 PM
... because the movies were very long and I understand such things had to happen. What I really hated was the stuff they added in. Like the elves at Helm's Deep, or bringing Frodo and Sam to Osgiliath, or Frodo sending Sam away on the Stairs.


I actually think that the Elves at Helm's Deep worked a lot better than having some strange new humans (the Rangers were not established in the previous movie) showing up. It also put more emotional weight into the battle, as we saw beings who were essentially immortal being killed.

It also represented something that wasn't shown "on screen" in the books, the fact that the Elves were actually involving themselves in the war against Sauron. Without showing the Elves at Helm's Deep, non-book reading viewers would have assumed it was basically a human war. It wasn't.

I still think this is one of the silliest complaints about PJ's movies.
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.
