What was wrong with Lord of the Rings? Did you take issue with the fact that he changed the timing of events, combined and/or transposed plot and character elements in order to move the storyline forward in a different format, all without changing its essential nature?

By way of comparison, a SERIOUS writer like Ayn Rand, when composing the screenplay for her own novel The Fountainhead... changed the timing of events, combined and/or transposed plot and character elements in order to move the storyline forward in a different format, all without changing its essential nature. Should we gather an army of internet nerds to storm the gates and accuse Ayn Rand of selling out?
