With the third installment in cinemas, it appears that director Peter Jackson has buried Tolkien's mythic tragedy under an avalanche of tricks. One wants to hiss along with Gollum: "Stupid hobbit! It ruins it!" We are left with a crackling good adventure, but have lost something precious.

This was a bomb for me, and then he drops it to speak of events and themes in Silmarillion. Phooey!

Yeah, he just dumps it there like a turd in the middle of the floor, and doesn't explain the comment. Oh well.
