I can't argue with that. Arwen was definitely intrusive in the films in order to justify a romance subplot. But, at least she wasn't completely fabricated like Tauriel for The Hobbit "trilogy". LOTR:laugh1:

Yikes and yeesh.

Now imagine trying to turn LOTR and The Hobbit into musicals......

Saruman sings "That Old Black Magic"

Gandalf "I've been through Rohan on a horse with white mane, Shadowfax and his speed is insane"

If I may ask, have you listened to the BBC dramatization? Would it interest you to do so?

Are you talking about an audio dramatization of LOTR (i.e. an audio book)? I heard some of these were made in the 70s/80s but never listened to them. I would listen if you have links.

"That Old Black Magic", Funny!

But sadly "Now imagine trying to turn LOTR and The Hobbit into musicals......" has been done:

These audio dramatizations by Phil Dragash are pure gold. I wasn’t really familiar with LoTR and Tolkien when the movies came out. I just thought they were exiting, well-done movies at the time, and never learned more about the books or Tolkien. Years later, a Catholic friend introduced me to the brilliance, richness, and depth of Tolkien and LoTR through the course of several conversations. These audio dramatizations were my first “reading” of LoTR. I’ve since read the Silmarillion for myself, and the Hobbit, FoTR, TT, and most of RoTK out-loud to my children. We’re about 100 pages from finishing RoTK. We watch the movies after finishing each book (Except the Hobbit. I didn’t want to start off with the bad wine.)

I will say it is an utter travesty that Tom Bombadil was completely cut by Peter Jackson.
