A different medium

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2002)

The Two Towers was incredible. I love the books. I love the movies. Yes, things where changed, but you know what, if you translated the books into films directly, they would be long, and in some parts very boring. Would The Fellowship Of The Ring been nearly as exciting if the days of travel and talk where included. It would have dragged on forever. Books and movies are different mediums. DIFFERENT. Not the same. Different. Now that you understand that, maybe you can understand why things are changed. To make the movie better. Not worse. BETTER. And why are people getting upset about Shelob. If you knew anything about the books and where so avid fans, you would know he wrote them as one book. Where the books are divided is arbitrary, as is where Peter Jackson divides them. Peter Jackson has created the best possible movie version of the books. THE BEST. If you don't like it, it is because you are too narrow minded and hung up on every minute detail of the book. You have to learn to let go and watch the movie as a movie, not as the book. It is DIFFERENT, remember. And for those of you hoping that someone else will make a different version, after this, it will never happen. Why would someone want to attempt to remake one of the most successful trilogies of all time. Do you think anyone is going to remake Indiana Jones. Of course not, thats stupid, just like you.
