Lord of the ring- The Movie vs The book

If I had to chose, I would chose the books. I've loved them since I was 10, I've read them a lot of times and I also really like Tolkien's other books. It's so much more details in the books, but also in a way less detail so it leaves more to your imagination. I like the films too though, and luckily I don't have a problem with mental images mixing :-) I've got internet buddies that complained that their own mental images "disappeared" after they had seen the films, I've never had that problem. There's a few added scenes in the films that really annoy me, but on a DVD you can just skip them!

The movie do his function: liven the books. But, the books have so much more information than the movie! The entire word of Middle-Earth is described into his pages!

I loved the book, read all three in four days, just couldn't stop. I think the movie is good except a whole chapter was left out, I guess no choice. One thing that the movie had going for it was the scale of the wars, it is hard to imagine thousands of troops but the movie mad it very real. But I think I would stick to the book any day!!

I like the movie in tittle The Lord of the ring. The fact is I've seen part one and two it. I like the effect, the setting, the actors and actresses and even the series of the story. The directors are very creative in preparing the story. It's really captivating film.

First off.... Peter Jackson and everyone involved with the LOTR movie trilogy should be given on Oscar. Although any die hard Tolkein fan can easily find things that were glanced over or sometimes even omitted, but if you look closer you will see that everywhere and everything that Tolkein described in those parts not omitted were almost seemless! I am still amazed and find new things every time I watch them, and I feel that they are the best ever movie adaptations of literary works.
