truth. Peter Jackson claimed to be a fan the way a lot of people claim to be fans, in that they read LOTR once or twice, but he had a fundamental misunderstanding of the books and the themes from the get-go. What makes me angry is that because so many people think his movies are flawless, there will never be another movie version of LOTR until long after I'm dead, and I will never see a version that has someone else's interpretation of the books. PJ's interpretation sucked. He turned Bree into a horror movie set instead of a last, final reminder of home before the actual terror began. He fundamentally did not understand why the elves are only seen sparingly, and for all his blather about being an irl hobbit, clearly did not understand anything about hobbits at all. Yes, I am forever salty and will be until the day I die.

If someone has a different understanding of the materials, even a misunderstanding I'll grant, they're a fake fan? You keep using the word "fundamental" but your examples are nitpicky and arguably the result of text-to-screen adaptation needs. You're the kind of purist that makes me want to agree with hater anon below.

Would you care to elaborate on what Jackson misunderstood? Genuinely asking, because I've read the books and seen the movies, but couldn't claim to be more than a casual fan myself.

nayrt, and overall not unhappy with the adaptation, but Jackson's elf fetish does get a little overbearing at times.

I'm not asking this to be nasty, I'm really curious. If you made a LOTR movie what would you have done differently?
