Lord of the Rings (Critique)
A critique of both the movies (Peter Jackson) and the books. I'm sure I will catch heat for not loving the books. I think they're terrible - even though I love the world and the genre he created. Here goes!

Movies: decent adaptation, wonderfully cast. A lot of detail cut to make these books fit to the screen, and yet characters gaze meaningfully for minutes on end. At least I finished them.
Books: Genre-defining, standard-setting in terms of world-building, and detailed to a fault. Love the world, but couldn't finish.
