An Announcement
Elendur

This is to announce what will probably be one of the most controversial series of posts on this forum in a long time: The A to Z mistakes in The Return of the King(the movie) list! This is not a nitpicker's guide, I am going to post about major changes of character or plot, and only the ones that made the movie worse or did not improve it(obviously some changes have to be made to put a book like ROTK on screen.)

Now before all of you(except Everett and mabye a few others) start getting angry I want to explain a few things. I liked the movie in a strange sort of way: It felt like PJ and the rest made a perfect movie of ROTK and then did a clever job of destroying it in an infinite number of ways, leaving something that makes you wince every time you watch it, but you do watch it, over and over again. Good luck trying to figure that one out.

Back to the A to Z. I know I'm going to have a lot of people disagreeing with me. If you do: Please post! It's getting dull reading this forum and we need to get an arguement going.
