I think that Jackson captured the overall tone and spirit of the books better than I dare say anyone else could have. Imagine George Lucas doing it! :)</p> Lord of the Rings III was good.

Especially Smeagol/Gollum based dialogue. What a character!</p> Dear LOTR fans, if any of you have knowledge of resources for excellent language learning material based on the Trilogy, I would love to hear from you.

The idea was NOT to be completely loyal to the books. Heck, no book that good and that thick could possibly be converted to the screen 100%. And as for the European study of costume-HELLO? This is Middle-Earth, not Europe! the deal is to make it looks historically fantastical. I read the Two towers before seeing the film and guess what? I thought the film was way better! PS I like Elijah Wood as Frodo. I think he's HOT!</p> Okay so Jackson changed the plor a little(well, maybe a lot). The idea was NOT to be completely loyal to the books.

I really enjoyed the movies and have read LOTR many times. Yes, Jackson didn't get it perfect but he did do better or stuck closer to the text than anyone has in a whole long time. AND he got the overall flavor and certainly centered on the ring. Frodo and Sam were absolutely awesome and both deserve Oscars or whatever they give people.</p> Well, by now you’ve all seen ROK as well. I really enjoyed the movies and have read LOTR many times.

While I deffinitely enjoyed the movies, I have to agree with the ones who hated the changes in the plot. Change can be good as an “artist’s” interpretation, yet when these changes distort the personalities of the main characters, that does not “kick ass”.

To all of you misspelling names: read the books first so you don’t have to look stupid (do it at least for this purpose). But more, read the books first to enjoy the movie and realize that there is room for much more and better. Especially with today’s special effects industry.

Heck I even think that the Japanese could do a better job at making a series based on Tolkien’s books. Meaning I would deffinitely want to see the movie with stuff added and not cut or altered in the plot.

I think Jackson’s artistic vision is too limited too. An elementary study of European medieval “fashion” would have provided genuinely realistic and awesome costumes for the characters - the costume part in the movie stinks of savings in a Hollywood style.

I could deffinitely go blabbing on about the things I did not like in the movies. But I won’t.

I did like the movies very much, but they did not provide me anything as close as Tolkien’s books. I was left with some bitter taste of… well, “incompleteness”, you name it.

I am 55 years old and I am in total love with all of the movies, and not to mention Legolas. GREAT WORK AND even GREATER vision. GO Peter Jackson and his entire CREW....... I can not wait until the next and final movie....</p> Peter Jackson is a truly inspired individual, that has taken this fantastic fantasy and made it even BETTER.
