Some of the images we see over and over again are lovely, but they’re limpid, the movie takes a lot of time. As my friend and regular movie-going buddy Alex Remington pointed out, after the murder is committed, a large part of the movie happens in slow-motion and repeated takes. But I think Peter Jackson’s movie adaptation has a couple of significant flaws.First, while the movie strips down the book quite a bit, both in terms of plot and characterization, it still manages to feel slow. It may be nostalgia from enjoying the book much more than I expected, and as a result, feeling more protective of the property than I intended. But I’m sure it’s fairly abundantly clear from the title of this post that I didn’t.
