I disagree... I love LOTR and I'm a female. There are so many strong female characters in the series. Arwen, Galadriel, Eowyn... how epic is that scene in the films where Eowyn verses the Nazgul/...

How can you hate Gollum? The character of him in the film is such an amazingly accurate adaptation of him from the book. The way he speaks in the film is exactly how I would have imaged him to speak....

Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed it and thought it was a pretty good movie (I...

I don't know, I read the book Bridge to Terabithia when I was a kid and I literally balled my eyes out in it and thought it was the most fantastic thing I'd ever read. As a young'un it's not often...

Yeah but if you read my post up there ^ about how the LOTR films changed one aspect of the book, you will understand how sometimes it is necessary to change something... things do not always play out...
