Good as the huge battles in Two Towers and Return of the King are, they don't stand up to repeat watching as well as Fellowship. Also, Return of the King missed off the whole return to Hobbiton problem. I shall never forgive that omission. Still brilliant films, though. |

No offence to Tolkien fans...maybe i am not intelligent enough, but i found Tolkiens description of the environment too much...It did almost bore me to tears at some points... |

Aye. And small print. It's what makes it so immersive at times, though. |

Indeed. I am more referring to books such as 'The Silmarillion' by Tolkien when i say 'over description.' I couldnt read that book all the way through because of its incredible depth. It was just too much. |

Gawd, the Silmarillion was freaking awesome. 'Too much' would be the chapters on Tom Bombadil. Reading the sil required much flipping over to the appendix to check who exactly was talking, but it was worth it. What an amazing book. |

I remember checking out of the library and the librarian telling me it was college level. I told her I read Moby Dick when I was in fifth grade. I quit it was so boring, but it shocked her. |

Shweet. I like the Ents. I'd rather be a Ithryn (Wizard). They're cool. |
