Query: A travesty which dishonors JRR Tolkien

This movie is a prime example of why not every book should be made into a movie, least of all an amazing classic like The Lord of the Rings. Not only was much of the original material overlooked, but new material was added that did nothing to enhance the story. Did Peter Jackson think that no one would come see the movie if there was no romance? Romance was added and at the most inappropriate moments. Characters died that never did, true heroism was turned into cloying, wistful looks and less than heroic speech. Worst of all was the return of Sam and Frodo to the untouched Shire. Tolkien was making a huge point by having them return to a Shire that was being ravaged and ripped apart. It would seem that no one connected with these movies bothered to read or understand Tolkien's work.Save your money and buy a good copy of these books and read them many times in the years ahead.
