Why didn't the eagles have a cave troll?Cause Jerry left it out in the sun again.
Where are they taking the Hobbits again?Some place with more doors. I can't remember the name of it.
I can't remember.

Yeah, there's that.I guess I should add that I am mostly referring to the unnecesarry changes that have nothing to do with how long the films are.
But in defense of the movies, following the books closely wouldn't work in a movie. E.g., people would get bored and leave the theaters before Frodo et al. even get out of the Shire.
So some liberties had to be taken. Others were much more optional (and annoying).
The Scouring of the Shire was a major loss, but overall the books are very boring in comparison.
Where are they taking the Hobbits again?Isengard. They taking the hobbits to Isengard
I can't remember.
Isengard. They taking the hobbits to IsengardThe hobbits the hobbits
If you dont let me in, Frodo, I shall blow your door right down your hole and out through the hill, he said.
Just why Mr. Frodo was selling his beautiful hole was even more debatable than the price.
I'm torn on the scouring not being in the movies. It's a significant part of the books and the hobbits returning home like nothing happened is pretty different, but then the movie would be like 5 hours long.

Leaving out the Scouring actually makes that problem worse. If RotK feels too long it's because it has a very, very long ending after the quest succeeds, with no drama to break it up. Including the Scouring could have fixed that despite actually making the film longer.The theatrical version of the film couldn't even include a few minutes to give Saruman a proper ending (which Christopher Lee was livid about for years). No way was the Scouring getting included.
Ol Tom Bombadil got done dirty.
Where are they taking the Hobbits again?to the brick and mortar store cus amazon doesn't deliver to the shire :(
I can't remember.
His are the worst chapters in the books and he wouldnt fit into the movies even if this wasnt the case. Terrible stuff.
I have to skip his chapters every time I read the books.
to be fair, if they had included this line it just would have been memed forever
Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.
Tom got done dirty in the movies because having a god around and not helping with the whole Sauron thing would have just been silly to everyone watching itThe books established Tom is only godlike in his own domain. Outside of it, he is significantly less powerful. Granted, trying to explain this in the movies may have not been as effective, so no wonder he got mostly cut.
However, there are definitely some things I disagree with, like the changes to Faramir's character.Yeah...having him violently arrest and torture Gollum over entering a forbidden pond wasn't a good choice. Plus the fact it undid all the growth Gollum had made.

An excuse to pull out this classic:

Some changes I can accept because they're movies, but some decisions they made bother me mostly character based ones.I honestly didn't like the Scouring. It felt so weird with Frodo and the Fellowship having just completed this epic quest, killed the dark lord, vanquished evil... oh, but now they have to go put down a wizard-led coup in their farm village.

Yeah, there's that.Eh, even granting this, a lot of the changes were just stupid and baffling. Like man, what did Denethor and Isildur do to Peter Jackson?

If there are any to see, then I at least am revealed to them, he said. I have written Gandalf is here in signs that all can read from Rivendell to the mouths of Anduin.
He took from the box a small sword in an old shabby leathern scabbard. Then he drew it, and its polished and well-tended blade glittered suddenly, cold and bright. This is Sting, he said, and thrust it with little effort deep into a wooden beam . Take it, if you like. I shant want it again, I expect.
Elrond was letting Bilbo stay there free of charge, too, and that's the thanks he gets for it. >:(The whole-ass trilogy started because Bilbo pulled a Sackville-Baggins and helped himself to someone's valuables after busting into their home.
Eh, even granting this, a lot of the changes were just stupid and baffling. Like man, what did Denethor and Isildur do to Peter Jackson?Not be elves. Which he buttered up with constant absurd feets.
