The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (Widescreen Edition) description
As the triumphant start of a trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring leaves you begging for more. By necessity, Peter Jackson's ambitious epic compresses J.R.R. Tolkien's classic The Lord of the Rings, but this robust adaptation maintains reverent allegiance to Tolkien's creation, instantly qualifying as one of the ... review details

Perhaps one day someone will make a movie of Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings". Mr. Jackson, if one takes the general outline of Hamlet and adds some random dialog from Othello, King Lear and Twelfth Night you have not presented a Shakespearian play, you've created a worthless abortion. Examples abound; from the needless destruction of Faramir's character to the absence of Merry and Pippin as developed characters to the addition of gratuitous scenes and the absence of "real" and lovely ones; it all points to the absence of understanding of the value of the work. Almost none of the characters of the book are presented as written; while it looks like the books, it's really not Tolkien at all.
Mr. Jackson, if you have the work of a master why not attempt to display it ? Why bother if not to bring it to the screen ? Did you think your actors could not realize Faramir ? Did you really feel your sense of pacing and your sense of the dramatic were superior to the author's ? This is a study, in part, of indulgence in mere Hollywood sensibilities of exaggeration and simplification. The geography was simple and so it was held to. The worth of the book was more complex and so abandoned.
I've have seen the extended addition and it's as fundamentally worthless as the original releases. If you care about the books don't bother with the film and keep the images you've created pure in your head.
Perhaps one day someone will make a movie of Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings".
