People need to realise that novels and films are two *COMPLETELY* different mediums.
A direct "word for word" translation from book to film would ahev made an awful unwatchable movie. An interpreatation is needed.
While Jackson was not faithful to the nitty gritty details, he did something FAR MORE important. He was failful to the *tone* of the books.
That is a far more impressive feat than just acting out a novel.
