They got their priorities straight! Why go to a party full of vain celebrities having a circle jerk, when you can instead go to a party full of people who truly appreciate your movies and acting.

Honestly it makes sense that Gandalf doesn't show his powers earlier in the movie to give more effect to his sacrifice and his power shown through it later. Not that I agree but I can understand why they did it.

Completely glazes over the contribution of the scale actors…

This was well done, thanks. None of the changes were good. Especially changing which character said what, if Tolkien wanted Frodo to give Gandalf the hint to the riddle he bloody would have written it that way.

I think the warg scene was omitted for the simple reason of runtime. Having both the wargs and the watcher would mean they'd have to be very short, so they opted to choose one of them to do it better justice. If they removed the watcher, they'd have to have an alternative explanation why they cannot escape Moria. Plus, this left the surprise introduction of wargs for the raid in the second movie, although there could be an argument that having the monster present earlier as well grounds the world a bit better, as it seems more alive, like the "evolution" and usage of trolls throughout the movies, or with the warg of Gothmog in the third movie, for that matter.

Why call it "boycott" though? They wanted to give bad to the fans for being with them tgrough to the last movie in the franchise. Calling it a boycott gives a totally different impression

Fun Fact: After this movie, and the council of Elrond, the use of the word "whence" increased by approximately 4500% in daily life.

There's one scene in PJ's trilogy that I remember being disappointed by because I was SO hoping it would be done like in the books but wasn't: That's Frodo and company's first encounter with a Black Rider. In the book, Sam and Pippin run off to the side of the road while Frodo hesitates a moment and then suddenly moves to hide on the OTHER side of the road - Frodo is BY HIMSELF! I think this isolation is critical as it makes the fear feel much more stark and visceral. I do get it, though. PJ was clearly influenced by the Bakshi version for this scene (which he emulated completely), but also John Howe was one of the art directors on the film, and he (also influenced by Bakshi), had painted a well-known version of this scene himself that also showed the hobbits all together. It's a minor gripe I realize, but there you have it.

Wen the Oscar's were good

If they left it in, people who arent familiar with the background story and the Silmarillion wouldnt understand why gandalf always held back around the free peoples of middle earth. But not so when they were not around. He was not permitted by the valar to use his full strength as Miar upon entering middle earth, but only to encourage the free peoples to fight against Sauron, for fear another Dark Lord would come to rise. Also the lake was at the east entrance IIRC. The one Druin the Deathless saw the crown of stars in anyway. Gimli stops to look in it while being perused by orcs out the east entrance.. Tolkien is never explicitly clear how the bog got to the west gate, nor how the watcher got there, nor where it came from. It's left entirely to speculation.

First time I watched the Fellowship of the Ring in the theater, I just kept thinking, "that didn't happen! They left this out!" over and over and over. The next time I watched it I could just relax and accept that the story was told differently in the movies.

Johnny Depp would probably end up being Legolas!😂
