总体是个大水片 没有太多情感深度 一战的残酷和给托尔金那一代人带来的心理创伤也没体现好 不过还是很喜欢托尔金挣扎着站起来看着满目疮痍的战场的镜头，满满的魔多即视感
托尔金如此热爱大海，他的小说里充满了他本人所说的sea-longing。托尔金个人信件里也说过，他做梦经常梦到巨浪； 中土世界神话体系的起源人物 Earendil 就是个航海家，《指环王》里充满了对海的向往，比如《指环王》里Legolas吟诵的这首诗：
To the Sea, to the Sea! The white gulls are crying,
The wind is blowing, and the white foam is flying.
West, west away, the round sun is falling.
Grey ship, grey ship, do you hear them calling,
The voices of my people that have gone before me?
片子里竟然完全没提海这个元素，就弄一堆打打杀杀啊怪兽啊之类的影像给观众看？ 能不能抓住一点精髓啊？
还有Edith是在长满了野芹 (hemlock) 的林间空地为托尔金跳舞，这给了托尔金灵感创作了人类Beren和精灵公主Luthien Tinuviel的爱情故事，像托尔金史诗作品《精灵宝钻》里写的：
The leaves were long, the grass was green,
The hemlock-umbels tall and fair,
And in the glade a light was seen
Of stars in shadow shimmering.
Tinúviel was dancing there
To music of a pipe unseen,
And light of stars was in her hair,
And in her raiment glimmering.
但片子里Edith是在树下跳舞，我的野芹灌木丛呢？能不能稍微还原一下啊？毕竟对托粉这么重要的细节！
以及，托尔金说了，《指环王》的核心主题是死亡。这一点可能看电影体会不到，得看原著。《指环王》原著里充满了对美好事物逝去的哀叹，不论是上古的英雄时代，还是精灵的世界，还是终要解散的fellowship。但好莱坞电影里可能不敢说这么沉重吧，只能提一些友情啊，勇气啊的主题。
最喜欢的还是TCBS小组三个好基友的片段，尤其Tolkien战后归来，读Geoffery Smith给他写的信，太感动了，以下信的原文：
“My chief consolation is that if I am scuppered tonight there will still be left a member [of our School group] to voice what I dreamed and what we all agreed upon. For the death of one of its members cannot, I am determined, dissolve [the group]. Death can make us loathsome and helpless as individuals, but it cannot put an end to the immortal four! May God bless you my dear John Ronald and may you say things I have tried to say long after I am not there to say them if such be my lot."
