How can you convey that work of words into picture? There are some parts that put feeling into the reader that a movie is incapable of doing.

That's no excuse for making it a simple action movie series bereft of any meaning.

Perhaps you would ilke to have nine movies instead of three so we can fit in all those parts of explanation? (I would absolutely loved to have seen the whole part of them leaving the Shire, the Old Forest with Tom Bombadil, the Scouring of the Shire, and other parts, of course. . .)

Perhaps they got Sauron confused with Saruman.
Yeah.  Shows how much attention they were actually paying... :P

They really dumbed down the Lord of the Rings and made it an action movie for teenagers, rather than conveying the tones of the great literary work of Tolkien.
Quoting Christopher Tolkien here?

If movies were 100% faithful to the source material, why even watch them? An adaptation is just that. An adaptation.

The Skarzs

That's a good way of putting it.

A couple weeks ago, I messaged the Zucc asking for a dislike button. No reply. I've also been getting heaps of fish-like websites selling fidget spinner suggested to me, even though I would rather get shot in the leg than buy one. (The one exception: Buying one and destroying with a 1000 degree glowing knife for satire or something)

So...

1 thank = 1 pray for my Facebook account.

Urgh, I feel terrible now for what's happened in the "soery" thread.  I think I should've just stayed out of it. :-\

I find it hard to be. Yeah, I'm sorry for what I said, but it is so, SO suspicious for someone to be acting the way he is. The username, thrle reason he posted, "my mother will starve" his misspelling and grammar. . .

I'm still not certain what to think about the situation.  Regardless, it was lame of us to talk about it right there in front of him.

EDIT:  I read the posts to my mom, and she thinks it's Del pulling a prank.

Could be, actually, if he used an IP blocker.

Yes, triple post, but I want to have a discussion.

Now that we've seen what happened, who do you think it is?  It seems to me that it's a member or former member who has a grudge against this place.
