Peter Jacksons Poetic License should be revoked!!!

Rating: 5/10 (18 December 2002)

From the beginning to the departure from Edoras, this movie was as near perfect as can be expected. After Edoras,with the exception of the fabulous special effects, this movie was criminal!!
If director Jackson has a problem with the way Tolkien wrote this story then he should have picked another subject. I have read these books a dozen times and I do not know what I just saw. The names of the characters should have been changed to protect from copyright legalities. This is no longer a Tolkien story. It is a Peter Jackson story it just needs a different name. Omissions are one thing, but the road this movie has taken is utterly uncharted. Peter, go back and read the damn books again!!!! You are "Peter Jackson," director. Not "Tolkien," author!!
Can this calamity be averted in the next movie. I doubt it. We all know it is already finished.
Sincerely NOT A FAN ANYMORE
P.S. IN TEN YEARS, MAYBE SPIELBURG CAN DO IT AGAIN.....CORRECTLY!
