What did you think of the Lord of the Rings trilogy of films?  |
|
 Were they true to the spirit of the books or did they spoil your inner vision which you may have built up from reading?

4.  desertdarlene (5466) | 2 years ago |  I read the trilogy after I saw the movies, or at least after the first two. Yes, there were some things that they merged or deleted that I didn't like, but I felt that the spirit of the books was basically preserved.
The books were definately more detailed and you got to know the inner characters a lot more, but the movie did a good job of covering most of the critial details. I didn't like how they portrayed Faramir in the films, though. I thought he was a more noble character than that.

| 7. Kelian (703) | 2 years ago |  I think they were in the spirit of the books, and they surprised me with how much they managed to include. I knew they would have to leave some parts out if they were making a movie, but they did a lot more than I expected, and quite convincingly. I guess the evolution of computer graphics has really enhanced film storytelling.
I really loved the film trilogy. Of course, nothing can ever beat the combination of books and imagination.

| 9. 1grnthmb (898) | 2 years ago |  I read the books back in the 70's and after seeing the first movie I re read the books. They have always been one of my favorites and now the movies are my favorite also. Do you know that they are now making the Hobbit into a movie.

|
|
| 1grnthmb (898) | 2 years ago | I also think that the movies did a really good job following the books given the time limit impossed by turning such long books into a movie. There were some incorrect parts to the movie but they did a real good job telling the story. | |

| Noot54 (4444) | 2 years ago | I read them in the late 60's and was blown away! Thanks for responding. | |

10.  hellbaron (1053) | 2 years ago |  calling them as a "trilogy" is the most idiotic thing anyone can do... they are part and parcel of a single story only... trilogy consists of three independent similar stories...

|
| Noot54 (4444) | 2 years ago | Of course you're right - the three parter was a marketing thing and no one would have sat through nearly 12 hours in one go. | |
