It's so frustrating - multi-million dollar movie making and the overall tone is wrong, the sense of historic age is said but not felt. I don't see decades in the buildings and artifacts I see one-dimensional made-for-movie props. It feels phoned-in, everything is stereotype - made for stupid audiences . Lots of costumes and hairstyles, little character development or emotional subtlety. There is no sense of a journey or quest, no sense of overall uncertainty or doom in the plan, no questions in the minds of characters. Mainstream crap.

Nice description of why I don't like so many movies.
Felt better about the second installment tonight, but probably by comparison only, situations are grittier but the last hour is mostly made up imaginations. I understand you're writing a story based on whatever but the best version-yet-to-be-made (movie not movies) is going to be the original story as told.
This is cult, you tell as told, what the fuck?
The Cohen brothers should have done this with Peter Jackson directing costumes.
Besides the chick elf from Lost, most (not all) of the "added" stuff is from Tolkien. Jackson and crew added a bunch of stuff from the LOTR appendices and the Silmarillion.
