adding plotlines

Rating: 9/10 (23 December 2001)

I can see the point of deleting scenes that were in the book (i.e. Tom Bombadil) these deletions make room for more storytelling. What I don't understand is why the production crew felt the need to add plotlines to an already overabundantly plotfilled book. I didn't appreciate the fact that the character Arwen (Liv Tyler) was given a major rewrite. The reviewers have said that this was done to give women something to "sink their teeth into". If you need something extra to enjoy the movie then you've obviously never read the book and can't understand that something added to the plot upsets the story completely. I just hope the next 2 movies are not ruined by this "political correctness"
