What we get is nonstop action, moving the characters toward the object of their quest. The first film, though imperfect, does set the stage for this superior second effort. Books and movies are different! What Peter Jackson has done is taken the primary plot and allowed his script writers to take what is given and supplement it with their own creativity. Of course, every English teacher on the planet knows that we are working in two entirely different mediums. Even a fifteen hour miniseries based on a novel fails miserably. I know it doesn't follow the book religiously. It is filled with action, sets of remarkable creativity, amazing characters, in a complex plot that made me long for the conclusion. It seems we have become so jaded that we see the necessity of giving a one star review to something as phenomenal as this film is. After reading some of the previous reviews, I wonder what it takes to engage the modern viewer.
