In spite of having all that time to play with, Jackson does very little to develop his characters- and that's why one gets very little sense of the bonds of respect and love which tie the fellowship together.
One of the many things I find hard to forgive is his turning of Gimli into a comic (but unfunny) stooge and the skimping of the growing relationship between him and Legolas.
Bah, the more I think about it, the more I convince myself that Jackson did a lousy job.
