Confession time

I didn’t really like the Lord of the Rings movies.
Well, that’s not really accurate. I liked them less and less as they
progressed. The first one I do like a fair bit. The second one is OK and
the third is the one I really don’t like.
I don’t think it is just because I do like the books. I liked the Harry
Potter books, and still like the movies. (But, think the books are better.)
I just don’t like the changes they made to some of the characters. And,
the way they changed the ending takes away what I always thought was one of
the most important parts of the story.
That was the decision of the creative team that made the movie. I’m not
saying they’re wrong, or anything like that. Just that most of the things
I thought were the best parts of the story, they appear not to like. It’s
a matter of taste and these weren’t really to mine.
So, I’m worried about this Hobbit movie coming out today. I have a lot of
friends who seem to be very excited about it.
As a story I always liked the Hobbit more than LOTR.
Hope the movie is good.
