Query: TO THOSE WHO CRITICIZE JACKSON'S WORK WITH 1 OR 2 STARS

I have this to say... if Tolkein himself had been around to oversee the making of these films, then I would expect a faithful adaptation. But these films (and ROTK in particular, since it omits much more than the others) are Peter Jackson's interpretation of Tolkein's books. If you believe that this film is SO lacking due to the missing storylines/climaxes that are present in the book, don't watch it! I would think that such avid readers (who love and appreciate the BOOKS as Tolkein's masterwork) would be intelligent enough to view the films as totally seperate entities from the books, and appreciate the FILMS as Peter Jackson's masterwork.
