I think it was the screwing about with the characters that annoyed me most. Although that stupid ending to the battle of the Pellenor fields irked me no end.
I think I had better give the Hobbit a miss.
I wasn't expecting a faithful portrayal of the books, but what I found was sufficient to satisfy me as a Tolkein fan. Sure, characterisation and plot gets changed, but overall it had the feel of the stories - as does The Hobbit. The representation of the place of Middle Earth is excellecnt.
If you want to see a film where they've completely screwed with the plot, try Earthsea. They cast a white boy as Ged ffs.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
