I love how you manage to write down the issues with the deviations and still are able to judge the movie on movie-merits. Also that you speak about flexibility and do not automatically assume that every Tolkien lover will not like the deviations - something that does not sit well with me here sometimes is that some people seem to accuse people having sympathy for the deviations as not being faithful enough for our beloved Professor or not having understood the "real" core of the canon - a notion I really get angry about.
Your review did not go in either of these directions and was a true tour de force of balance without losing judgment, thanks for that Quickbeam.
“All good stories deserve embellishment."
Praise is subjective. And so is criticism.
"I am afraid it is only too likely to be true what you say about the critics and the public. I am dreading the publication for it will be impossible not to mind what is said. I have exposed my heart to be shot at."
