I have not had enough coffee today so please excuse any semblance of negativity. I like your idea so I will run with it. What do you think they did right with the LOTR films? Personally I rather enjoy them, there's not many points I feel any contention with, though I do quite annoyingly point out various differences with the text when watching them with my wife, but she doesn't mind, or at least doesn't say she does. I think one of my favorite moments is the paraphrase Sam gets at the end of TT. Where he talks about the old stories and whether or not they have any endings and such. Its a great moment in the book and they adapted it quite well IMHO, also take note of Gollum's countenance at that point. he resembles the "Old Hobbit" that Tolkien describes just before he leads them into Shelob's Lair. Overall the feel of Rohan and the people is just great for me. And the location they found for the Shire, I have said many times I want to reture in New Zealand just from the scenary of these movies. Of course Western Montana has a bit of that feel as well, only a good bit newer if you follow me.

It could be even more interesting to hold a separate discussion posing the flip side of your question
