No, I know what you mean RastNim, I think. The books were solemn and veiled and the whole style of it was flutey and not really jovial. Still- PJ's interpretation was good. Maybe the mystery comes from the printed word. By putting it to screen, you may lose that. In which case humour would be very appropriate. Although maybe not such lines as "Let's hunt some orc" At least they never said "Let's get outta here". Did they?

Lol I don't remeber a "let's get outta here" thank god, but PJ needs to rethink the "toss me" line...lol meh it was funny. I think it is impossible to give the films the same feel as the books so I don't mind about it at all, the films were brilliant in there own right. Both top of their genres! Veiled...that what I mean...mysterious, fogged up so you can only see a small part of it, if you get me I don't think the humor hurt at all, it was good to have some light relief, some films try to be so serious they are just not interesting at all. If you had to try and sit a load of plebs(im a snob and proud of it lol) in front of a screen for 10.5 solid hours on a difficult to understand story line then by the end they wouldnt be there and the cinema would likely to have been burnt down. It needs something to keep up the momentum otherwise it gets bogged down with too much hard core LotR info. GO PJ the film rocked!!! I love the films but I just happen to like the books a whole lot more, I eat books (in the read rather then the literal sense) so I love having something a little more challenging, mind you, Sophie's world that I am reading at the moment on philosophy...that is hard too! I think that is the only reason I don't like the films as much, it's just I am so in love with the books and the history. Has anyone else read Sophie's World or The Solitaire Mystery btw?? I know it's a little O/T but oh well...
