Oh - I thought I was actually supposed to LIKE the film? I didn't know it was made that way to get me into the theater so I can go "Please just let me like it - I really have been waiting for this - and all I want is to like it." And then when the flight to the ford scene comes and the pippin and merry idiots appear on screen - I just have to say - damn this sucks.

Maybe if Bill Gates funded it with his whole fortune and decided to become Ghandi could it have been done for the book fans alone.

if Bill Gates made the movie - it would have dialog cutting out every so often or something. Microsoft can't even develop good software - I hardly except bill gates to be able to do a movie.
