Sabastianos, I agree with you about the parts that were taken out. I'd love to have seen the part when the hobbits need to be rescued. But film being such an expensive medium they couldn't have done the entire book. I hate to see a movie based on a book I like and see parts missing. I was really surprised when I went to see the Jack Nicholson flick, "About Schmidt" and found that the plot had absolutely nothing to do with the book. I don't mind that the LOTR movies are "only an illustration of the book," especially since Peter Jackson's visual style is so operatic and over the top.
By the way, have you played the Interplay "Fellowship of the Ring" that is here on Abandonia, and if you have what did you think?
