Wonderful! but...

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2003)

Being a fan of the books I liked the film, because it's perfectly well done! but there's something I didn't like from the way Peter Jackson adapted the books: he started the trilogy with the 4 hobbits, Aragorn, Legolas, Gandalf and Gimli and he wanted to keep them along the films with even more importance than other REALLY important characters. He forgot that as the story develops other important characters appeared! I think that he did a very stupid thing by ignoring the importance of Faramir (frankly, one of the best characters of the book with the most dramatic story!). I agree with many people that Peter Jackson made many long and unuseful scenes in which he could have developped Faramir's story (specially the love story with Eowyn). He could have cut the end and just finish the movie with the coronation of Aragorn. The rest isn't really important for the people who have not read the book( many people asked what the hell they were taking a boat!!) he could have added the end we saw in the DVD, we don't mind! He can even put a 6hrs film in the dvd's! the fans will appreciate! but I really was very disappointed about Faramir.
