no, mr sensitive, i was just pointing out that I (not you) wasnt a casual fan approaching the movie.
I was showing where I was coming from.
I love the books and have reread them all many times since i was young ...
I think Peter Jackson perfectly understood Tolkiens vision (power corrupts, good vs evil ..the bonds of friendship, the end of magic - nature vs technology etc) It seemed to me that Jackson covered all that - he just chose to put extra focus on the bonds of friendship angle - especially near the end.
I understand why people who dislike fantasy in the first place would be bored by the rings (stolen pun) but honestly it's beyond me how a fan of the books wouldn't be delighted by what Jackson accomplished ... it floors me..
