For historical accuracy, it will have to be a movie of a four-hour conversation about theology in a pub, with C.S. Lewis and Charles Williams.

It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

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.
