making lord of the rings the trilogy was a gamble. if the producers knew how popular they would be and how much money they would make, maybe they would have wanted to make 6 movies and keep everything from the books. i for one would have watched them happily. I lost my mind over the book(s) as an adolescent and still love them today. I've enjoyed the movies and appreciate the job jackson et al have done, but i'm a nitpicker, there are a lot of subtle changes that end up changing characters and focuses. some might say i'm crazy, but the pace is a little rushed for me.
