To start off with, I've never been on this board before so I'm not even sure if this belongs here, but let's give it a go.
The book is always better than the movie.
Except in THE FUCKING CASE OF LORD OF THE RINGS
I cannot understand what makes people think that this book (trilogy = book in this description) is better than Peter Jackson's movies, so I'd be very grateful if someone could explain that.
And no, being the first at something doesn't mean that you're the best. Not many people go around saying "oh man the lyre is the best instrument ever because it's (one of) the first, fuck "insert musician name here".
First off, the books have absolutely no soul. Sure, JRRT is pretty damn good at describing nature and shit, landscapes and whatnot but man, his characters are black and white, nothing more, nothing less. Gandalf dies - two lines uttered by Frodo and Aragorn to commemorate their fallen comrade. Boromir dies - same fucking thing. There's more emotion from a truck driver from Oklahoma running over a snail than in this shit.
Second of all, some subplots are useless. Ayy I'm gonna make the hobbits get lost again and introduce this all-powerful wizard type fella who isn't affected by the main cause of havoc in the world and then just.. forget.. about.. his.. existence.. OH NO! HOW COULD PETER JACKSON NOT INCLUDE SUCH AN IMPORTANT CHARACTER!??
OH NO!
Prove me wrong.
