LOTR Movie=ignorant fans?

[BeardofPants]

side note - I hate the fact that they show Gandalf in close up on the trailer. It ruins it for the people that haven't read LotR. Unless most people just think it's just an image or something.

Yeah, that pisses me off as well. I mean, sure, most of the people who are going to see it already know about Gandalf, but it ruins it for those who haven't read the book. The scene where Gandalf comes back as Gandalf the White is, IMO, one of the most important scenes in the book! And I don't think I need to get into detail here about how much I disliked the movie!
