And now for a lighter post, I think that the changes that were made were necessary to make the story viable in the alternate media, where you only have at most 3 hours to tell the same story that was written to be read over whatever amount of time you want to take to read it. Yes, there are quite a few excerpts I would have liked to have seen on the big screen, but I would not like to sit in a theatre for 5-6 hours at time for that to happen. As far as I'm concerned, great casting, great dp work, good editing of an already great story, all go to make these movies by far the best fantasy films to ever be created.
