@mina @bruces The fact that Sam is Frodo's servant in the beginning, rather than a friend, is massively downplayed in the movie.

In the books there is much more development between the two characters.

@mistakenotmy

You're damn right about this aspect, and yet: The trilogy remains an excellent adaption, other than the abomination that was "The Hobbit".

🍿 waiting for the Tom Bombadil replies to this post 🍿

@mina @j3j5 @bruces Tom Bombadil was not in the movie so he would not know anything about it 😀
@mistakenotmy @mina @j3j5 @bruces And I remember how deeply disappointed me and my friends were about that... We hoped he would appear in the long DVD version, but alas...

@j3j5 @mina @mistakenotmy @bruces I'd simply say that the trilogy turned contemplative books in action movies. I was unable to watch the third to the end.

(Many people who loved the movies hated the books, which they found too slow and boring; this is not a surprise to me... I'm much more surprised by the amount of people who loved both)
