Random Thoughts
Update: Wow this moved along way faster than the book did. There's so much missing! However, to keep up the pace most of the stuff dropped is the bits of traveling. I especially like the higher detail segments to the Kraken and Bridge sequences. Overall, I think the spirit is kept more or less intact. Now to start reading The Two Towers!
Having finished reading(for the first time) Fellowship of the Ring, I decided to, then, watch the movie and compare the two. I must say the differences are quite profound and I only got through half of the film so far. The pacing is entirely different as well. I have not seen the movie in so many years either and having read the source material it is a very striking contrast.
I look forward to seeing the rest and comparing it as well. Nothing has really been a deal breaker as I understand movies have to be much more fluid and fast-paced. Hell, it still clocks in at 3 hours!
