Re:Return of the King troubles
Personally I feel that the Two Towers was the weakest of the Tolkien books. I watched the film wondering if I would be as bored as I was with the book [i](I’m someone who fell asleap during the last Star Wars film (barbarian!).[/i]
I watched the film with my mouth agog! I thought it was very well done and although not exactly as the book (and the trees were far too lame for my liking) I thought it was facinating and wonderfully portrayed.
My mouth is now watering in anticipation of the final chapter. 😀
And yet, among my friends I am in the minority. My father (chief SadGeezer of considerable sci fi geekiness repute) is a hard sci fi fan and can’t even bring himself to watch the film [i](I bought him the dvd of the first film just to see!)[/i]. Friends are dissinterested and only one dude [i](a D&D DM) [/i]thought as me and NewKate.
We feel very much in the minority!
