Hi, Roxanne,Thank you for letting me into your inner world! I can see that we are judging Lord of the Rings from different angles and am hoping that you will not misconstrue my reply as anything but sincere.
By my temperament I am a critic, and you are a creator. My mother who is an artist says, that without my opinion and critique she would not be able to paint. Let her statement be what it may - pure and unadulterated motherly love, but it is true that any work with a claim for success should be able to withstand a good amount of "red pencil" editorials.
I deeply respect a creative spirit and wish I could get as excited about my own insignificant work as I see all the time in my mother. I tend to immediately see all the weak sides of any work rather than concentrate on the achievements. I am guessing that you have the same excitement and passion that you put in the act of creation as my mother. Please, do not regard this as patronizing, for I am very sincere in this admiration.
Perhaps, I was expecting too much from LOTR as an independent work (I think any screen adaptation should be viewed as such, and not mere a transfer of the book to the screen.) It may also be that having not read the book, in my mind I was not surrounded by the world created by the author, and therefore, was unable to keep that fascination for the movie, which I regarded as an original fantasy and, unfortunately, still see as some sort of Disney animation, which is not a bad thing, but not the type of art that I was hoping to see.
Be it what it may, we can agree that this movie will delight a lot of viewers. As far as I am concerned, there are many movies which I hope will delight me for many years to come.
Who knows, maybe years later I will look at it with a warm nostalgic feelings, that time always brings to us, and... even like it.
