I read an article linked on Google news where this guy panned the whole thing, but it was painfully obvious he'd never read the books.

And he calls himself a movie critic.... Ha!

Back when Fellowship came out, I had the misfortune of catching Roger Ebert's review of the flick. Now he's allways sucked as a movie critic but his summary of LoTR:FoTR was pure crap.
"The movie lacked the whimsical and childlike quality of the books."

"Whimsical??? Childlike???... How is it that he keeps his job?

That kind of ignorance drives me crazy. Shannon still comment on how Roger Ebert didn't like the original as much because it failed to caputre the "whimsical quality" of the book. WHIMSICAL?! Was he on ecstacy when he was reading LOTR because I never thought of it as whimsical.
