Adapting Lord of the Rings, Cutting up the Story, and Dropping the Poetry

We jump into the deep end of analyzing Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings as we look at every film change he made! This week, Michael and I look at the first three:
* It's an Adaptation
* Intercut Storylines
* Many of the Songs and Poems were cut

Are we right? Wrong? Did we miss something obvious? Let us know in the comments below!

In our extended episode (available for our members -- https://theonering.com/members) we talk about:

* What's the one major adaptation Jackson shouldn't have made.
* Judging Christopher Tolkien for judging PJ's films
* Could PJ have easily put in more songs and poems? Or would it need to be a 12 episode show on Netflix?
* Is the poetry PJ put in the films fitting enough?
