Nope - JD is fine.

I should say - that I liked the movie - I just don't think it's the greatest movie or anything like that - as I said before I give it an 8. And certain character changes just annoy me - Aragorn's being one of them. If the action scenes were in any other movie - I wouldn't have minded. It's just that I think Jackson "Hollywoodized" LOTR too much for the general public.

I'm also partially upset that so many of my friends have a distorted view of LOTR because of the movie - and refuse to read the books. One has repeatedly told me that the hobbits were weak and Boromir should have been given the Ring. He has also said that it's no different than the changes that are being made in the Spider-Man movie. Which I do not understand how someone can compare a comic book with The Lord of the Rings epic.

But oh well - I'll fall into the whole hype thing and go see LOTR again when the TT trailer gets added next week. I'll buy the DVDs and the movie posters and anything else I can get my hands on. But I know the only reason why is because it's LOTR and not because of the movie itself. It's only because of my love of the books that I' repeatedly go to see it - and I know that - even if I don't agree with Jackson's changes and "interpretation".
