stay away from this movie

Rating: 5/10 (28 February 2008)

I just had to write a comment, after reading a previous one. First, i've been reading J.R.R. regularly since i was 10, and this movie is one of the grossest adaptations possible. Hollywood stupidity at its best. I have to puke when i remember the lame, retarded character of Faramir, totally different from the one in the book, or the horrible wedding at the end of the movie,the fake smiles and shining white teeth, Sauron the lighthouse, haha, just too stupid, cretin dialogs between Frodo and Sam while dying in the Black Land, so unlike the book. Major discrepancies in the plot - Frodo being taken by Faramir back to Gondor, which depicts him in an utterly false light etc etc. This movie deserves a 5 only because it's been filmed in a technically superior way, but that's it. I hope i forget it as soon as i can. What a shame.
