    Since we saw that they were not 100% true to the book in the first episode (Tom who?) they will probably resequence things a bit to make the movie more watchable. I prefer this since a three hour movie is a different experience than a 400 page book, and each should be done properly according to the merits of their respective formats.

  2. Reading vs. Watching by Zelet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Before I saw the first installment of LoTR, I was in the middle of reading "The Hobbit." After I saw LoTR, I immediately ran out and bought the trilogy and finished it off in a couple of weeks. After reading the books I thought that reading them in advance would ruin the experience of watching the movie (I know... seems backwards).

    But, what actually happened was the fact that I knew what was going on in the trailer and seeing my mind's eye's pictures on the screen was powerful. Very moving - I actually care for and know the characters well enough to have an emotional response to what happens to them on the screen.

    I think it has something to do with the fact that LoTR has stayed very close to the books. I am more excited than ever to see the next installment. I think I will be more impressed as the series goes on. (if that is possible)
