i've been waiting all my life for this but...

Rating: 9/10 (22 March 2002)

... but i didn't get what i wanted. okay, the movie is wonderful, it's a masterpiece, really. no one can deny that. but there are certain details that bother me: 0. extremely stupid zig-zag horse race (i hate hollywood; it had to stick its nose even in this movie) 1. even more stupid appearance of liv tyler (it's not her that bothers me; it's that EVERYTHING is rearranged [= spoiled] just for her) 2. the most stupid love scene between arwen and strider which DOES NOT EXIST in book (i hate hollywood again) 3. completely insane scene : saruman vs gandalf - the fight of the year (by that moment i really realized how i hate hollywood) 4. whole movie is too short. it should last at least 6 hours!
okay, enough! things that i need to know are: 0. why do people crave for romance&violence in every goddamn movie?
1. why can't they enjoy in pure tolkien world? 2. why can't anyone provide us pure tolkien world? 3. why do directors have to pollute their own creations so the movie could earn some money? 4. why are people buying that?!?!
