People complain about the movies but if they included everything the movies would be several weeks long.
LOTR fans: print it on 70mm IMAX film, grind it up into powder. And inject that shit right into my veins.
Bit of an exaggeration, but the point still stands.
No it wouldn't, you just need to cut out the stuff Jackson added to make the movie more mainstream.
Movie adaptations need filler, the books themselves would be the length of the Jackson movies but wouldn't play well to audiences. That's just how it works it's why you have to look at movies separately from their books.
Oh sure, I'm only saying if the movies followed the books, the movie wouldn't be ridiculously long. It's only long because Jackson added extra stuff that wasn't in the books.
