I was referring to this.. Apparently your own qoute!  |
And I stand by it 100%. But judging by the argument you're making against it I just don't think it says what you think it says. Your argument seems to suggest that I'm talking about the movie being OBJECTIVELY better than any other MOVIE. The quote of mine says nothing of the kind. It talks only of my SUBJECTIVE opinion of how well the movie renders the BOOKS. It is folly to argue against what I wrote there, because it's my own opinion (it says nothing at all about objective fact), and I'm the only one who can possibly dispute it.
What you seem to be doing is either completely misunderstanding what I've written, or you're trying to create a rather clumsy straw man. I think it's probably the former. I don't mean to be rude, but is English your first language? I'm definitely getting the sense that you're getting something wrong here.
I guess you could argue that my opinion is wrong, but then you'd have to argue about how Jackson got the feel of the books wrong. So far you've made no effort to argue along those lines.
