[Immerito]

For those Freepers who enjoyed the music in the films (even if they were frustrated/disappointed at Jackson's failure to translate the book accurately to film).

[I still care]

I always loved the books and thought a fairly good job of translation was done, although there were a lot of problems.

The music was good and the casting excellent.

Some movies have great scores. My personal favorite was The DaVinci Code. Bad movie, excellent music.

Better Ring music, from Sally Oldfield’s 1978 album Waterbearer.

I particularly missed “The Scouring of the Shire” from the movie. In my opinion, the whole basis or moral of the trilogy was directed to that, and it was completely left out ...

I loved the books, and the artwork of Peter jackson's films. I thought the music score was one of the most remarkable ones ever made for any opera or movie. There were literally dozens of recognizable, individual themes for characters and places. The only really jarring note in all of Jackson's movies was his treatment of the death of Saruman, and that was because he left out the Scouring of the Shire. I still give jackson an A.

I give him a "D" for not including the Extended Version with the Theatrical Version of the DVD in Blu Ray, and did not buy it. I'll wait for the EV. There's just so much money I'm giving you, Pete.
