How do you take a story of this magnitude, make it into a series of movies, and not dissapoint some people? You cannot, impossible. Be thankful that Peter Jackson took the initiative and the risk of making these movies in the first place. IF you had read the books, then you would realize that the entire story is to immense to possibly put onto film, especially the limit to which people are willing to sit in a movie theatre. Had Mr. Jackson done so, you would have 3-10 hour movies that quite possibly would bore fans out of the theatre, minus the hardcore. What Mr.Jackson has provided for us is thus, A beautifully made trilogy that is fluid in respects to its cinematic limitations. A rendition of a masterfully written story that many of us fans believed would never come to fruition. Personally I loved the movies, they were beautiful and sound. They may not have held up to my own imagination after reading the books so long ago, but movies seldom do, and comparing a movie to my own imagination is unfair at best.
