That damn Peter Jackson

Always rewriting things.



I dare say that I likely will go see this though.  Just call me an enabler.  And yeah, the tags to this post are a little incoherent ...

The things he changes can be endearing:

Dwarf: You can't outrun Gundabad Wargs!

Radagast: *These* are Rhosgobel Rabbits!

Yeah, OK, sign me up. A bit early to get in line for tickets, but where's the line forming?

His departures so far have been generally worthy, and some changes are inevitable when translating a book to film, so I'm willing to grant him some leeway as long as he keeps the quality up.

Plus, as I understand it, many of his additions in this trilogy come from Tolkien's related works (Lost Tales, The Silmarillion, etc.), so they should work pretty well on their own.
