changed too much

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2002)

Excellent movie, but having read the series was disappointed about some of the changes made for the movie. Most notably was the changing of Faramir. In the book Faramir came across as a wiser, more noble person than his brother Boromir, but in the movie they created a character that did not live up to the book's version. The only other thing that really bothered me was the change of ending. I guess that they just ran out of time, but the ending in the book is fantastic and was a let down with the movies version. All in all it is still a great movie, and can't wait for the next one.
