Jackson stuck in the action to appease audiences. I think Tolkien in general would not like Jackson's vision. Anybody who says Tolkien would have applauded Jackson is indulging in some amazing wishful thinking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303338240948428759.post-84198558181765275242014-07-12T13:44:18.493-04:002014-07-12T13:44:18.493-04:00Well, I must say I don't know what Tolkien him...Well, I must say I don't know what Tolkien himself would think. He apparently criticized one attempted script written during his lifetime as "yet one more scene of screams and rather meaningless slashings," which seems to me to describe some of Jackson's action scenes perfectly. On the other hand, he also accused script writers of having "no evident signs of any appreciation of what it is all about," and I think that's definitely not true of Jackson. But while no one can say what Tolkien himself would have thought, we can all say what we ourselves think, and I'm glad you've enjoyed the books and the movies!Anne E.G.

....Lynn-Marie, I love that door illustration, too!<br /><br />..., That's interesting that you've seen the movie without having read the book. I imagine it makes some things harder to understand but others less of a problem for you. Thanks for leaving your comment!Anne E.G.

It's interest...I've never read The Hobbit. It's interesting what you say about the Goblin tunnels. I think he could have really used it to heighten the tension. Fast moving goblins like insects in dark places, around corners.....could have been quite scary. <br />You reminded me to go ahead and write a review of this film - just posted it.

I, too, was disappointed with the acting for Radagast but the most difficult part for me was the fast action in the goblin caves. The portrayal of Gollum was masterful ... again!
