I liked this movie a lot guys, but..do they really harmed animals during the filming? Unexpected cruelty?
Christopher Tolkien holds the rights to The Silmarillion and he didn't like what they did to The Lord of The Rings.
What did he find wrong with the LOTR? It was a successful trilogy that garnered a lot of awards and profit thanks to P.J. I've read the original books and watched the extended edition extensively and P.J did not change that much compared to the book.
My uncle and his best friend could go on an hour-long rant on what they believe is wrong with the movies compared to the books. It's been almost 30 years since I read the LOTR trilogy so I am OK with the movies.
Now - I also very strongly believe that a film made from a fantasy or sci-fi book is NEVER "right". It simply can't be. The ENTIRE POINT of a great fantasy or SF book is that the book causes the reader to create an entire world (or universe) in their mind. No two readers are going to see exactly the same world in their mind's eye. It's just not possible - and even if it were, putting that world onto film exactly as it appears in your mind also isn't possible. If this is going to cause someone to not like the film, then they should never see ANY film rendition of a fantasy or SF book they have read. It will always disappoint them.

Yes that Elf is cute.
They came up with Into the West after the first song was rejected, sang by Annie Lennox as well.
