Tolkien (the movie)

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Well, to be fair, I will admit that all of Jackson's Tolkien films are very accurate representations of what Jackson imagines the books are like.

And he used those calendar artists for concept art. So he was doing what most people thought Middle Earth looked like.

Which explains all the pointed ears and getting the hobbit feet all wrong.  But that's trivial.  My main objections to Jackson's films include (but are not limited to):

-Mucking up the motivations and personalities of several main characters (Théoden, Thorin)

-Have characters in the wrong places at the wrong times (Arwen, Gimli).

-Rushing through the important bits (The Council of Elrond, the ride of the Rohirrim) and stretching out the dull bits (self evident).

-Leaving Radagast out of LOTR and shoving him into The Hobbit, where he had no bloody business being.

-Leaving out Bombadil entirely.
