    wholly disagree, nick.
    the films are authored by jackson, not tolkien. this is his work, it should be judged and critiqued as his, not as just a derivitive of tolkiens.

    compare and contrast critique is valid, but critique about the movie itself with no consideration of the books is also valid. Same goes with any book->movie adaptation. Once it moves from one medium to another, it changes into its own distinct work.
