Title: Better Than The Books
Review: Personally I think the movies are way better than the books. To be honest, the way Tolkien wrote the books I felt like I was at the dentist having all my teeth pulled. His way of writing reminded me of the only teacher I have ever had who put me to sleep in class. Therefore, I think any departure from the way the books were orginally written is not a bad thing. After all, the first movie had things that were not true to the story as well and yet it was hailed by even the "purists" as a wonderful movie. If any of you remember the actual story for the first movie, Arwen actually had a very very small role in the book. Yet in the movie her role is greatly expanded. The council of Elrond was much much longer in the book than in the movies and the part with the Watcher was a much smaller threat in the book than in the movie. So I really think that the deviation from the book in the second movie really benefits the story just as the deviations in the first movie benefitted it.
