ReaperOfCyanide Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Peter Jackson did a pretty darn good job, but I think somethings missing... What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diabetus boy Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I believe and have always believed that novels will make the movies look like garbage, unless the novels are screenplays,then the movie looks amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Talena Mae Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 i quite enjoyed them both, i found the moves action packed while keeping close to the actual story line, and in the books, parts of it were so long winded i had to force myself to read on xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinato Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Well I have only read the first book. The reason for this was because Peter Jackson had practically filmed everything from the book. The only things he edited was Legolas' personality slightly and the fact that Frodo went to Rivendell immediately instead of waiting 20 years-ish. Peter Jackson did a great job.

lemmingllama Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 The movies are superior to the books simply because the books have too much detail written and the detail can be immediately shown in the movies. Also, it holds to the storyline well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phily880 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Hands down the best book to movie job ever. I preferred the movies as well due to the fact that the books could get a little tedious at points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Ferocia Coutura Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 As far as I am concerned, best book-to-movie ever done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirala Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Having never read the books, the only thing that was missing in my opinion was Tom Bombadillo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atreyuavenged Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Was just gonna say that. Tom Bombadil was missing, would've been interesting to see him and the wraiths and stuff. But awesome book and series. Cannot wait for the Hobbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draigthedm Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 they cut tom bombadil and that was my favorite part of the book, but between leaving the shire and reaching rivendell was the hardest part to read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKillzo Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 i think so with the extended versions they did the books justice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aakash01manu Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Definitely - The series is one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deusxanime Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 I enjoyed both. The books are classics and great reads. I think the movies (especially the extended versions) are probably the best book to movie translation done. Sure some things were cut, there's no way they could have made them otherwise in a reasonable time or budget. But it was so well done that I don't even mind. And I know everyone complains about no Tom Bombadil, but honestly he did almost nothing in the novel and was probably one of the first and easiest things cut.
