Might do justice to the reply in a couple of days' time, but for now the short version is very pretty (with you on Lee & Howe; admired their work long before they were picked for the films), but I didn't like some of the changes they'd made to the storyline. Particular gripe about Faramir & Denethor, in that they'd used ideas JRRT toyed with while in the early drafts, and rejected. That seems to me much more offensive than merely inventing your own bits.
