Mojlnir Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Tolkien was a genius, there you are completely correct. Peter Jackson is his own brand of genius though, the man has created some amazing films. Though not as true to the book as I would have liked, I must admit that they are really good. I HATE what they did to Gimli though, he is not a comedic character. Yes, there is some subtle comedy between Legolas and Gimli in the book, but nothing to suggest the assinine character they created in the movie. The orcs and Uruk Hai are fantasticly well done and...the Nine...need I say more? All in all, a pretty decent transformation of the book, though I will always love the books for their complexity and the freedom they allow each reader in creating their own Middle Earth.
