EEp! The movies are definetly not right on. Like, for movies based on books, it could have been worse, but Peter Jackson did a lot of tampering to make it 'better'. Of course you won't get the same detail but he altered some important characters personalities (Faramir..like..the best character in the book next to Aragorn and made into such a semi-bad guy). He just took out things so it wouldn't be 5 hours long, but then he added stuff that wasn't in the book which is odd.
