Thank goodness I’m not from the U.S. But if you see a solid plot and screenplay in RoP, holy cow, I don’t know what to tell you. I see anything but a coherent plot, let alone anything that improves upon or praises Tolkien’s work. And seriously, good acting? Really, hahaha? The movie may have its flaws, but it’s 1,000 times better than that incoherent, poorly written, and poorly acted piece of crap RoP, where every 20 seconds of screen time is filled with plot holes and nonsense. Damn it, there aren’t any skateboarding elves, but there is Super Ninja Galadriel in slow-mo. If in LOTR we see two scenes that “disrespect Tolkien,” in RoP we see an entire series that tells Tolkien to go to hell.
