But, it amounted to a pile of flimsy (rancid) garbage heaped around a few battles. That is the one, major problem that makes any movie based on books, or comics worse than said books, or comics. Well, Middle-Earth isnt real...so, you can see how hard it might be to "make it real". :/ Tolkien made it as close to real as can be. Yeah, he added languages, faiths, an entire history...

The movies didn't have shit... Ummm, yes they did! Movies aren't made for lore. If they were they'd be completely boring. That's why PJ's LOTR was a great way to adapt it to movie form without detering the audience. Remember, PJ still had to make money.
