I do think that the films have deviated too far from the source material but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Adding in more detail and fleshing out Middle-earth a great deal more will hardly hinder the trilogy. It is a fair criticism to say it has added too much in, but the film industry is a business and if they can make three films that all gross around a billion dollars then they will surely take the opportunity.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
Yes, but I'd be glad if that was indeed the bulk of the problem. It's just that they've deviated from the book and provided nothing more memorable, including characters like Tauriel that they haven't bothered to develop or give a real place to.
