The Dude Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Lord of the Rings is easily the best movie ever made. The book is not even close to the best book ever written. The book is still way better than the movie. It do be like that sometimes. In both cases, there was no need to chop it up into three parts. That's my only complaint with either. 1 Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I have no idea why this was posted in the Husker football forum, so I moved it to a new home. Quote Link to comment

These aren't just minor differences either, these are major departures from the books. I disagree. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I don't like Peter Jackson movies. He bores me. The changes to suit his film. And the original post said it best: These major differences are as follows—1. differences in form; this includes changes made to the story by deleting or adding parts or spreading ideas over a long period of time, and 2. differences in substance, which included changing actual ideas and people in the story to suit the film. Some such changes include the changing of almost all the characters and changing events to reach the same outcome as the book. The book was amazing. I love books by J.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. It's been decades, but I am curious to pick it up and read it again, but I am more so thinking about the lion the witch and the wardrobe. 1 Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 The only thing left out that bothered me was The Scouring of the Shire. Quote Link to comment
