Another quibble with PJ movies

[CSteefel]

Although I thought that Jackson did the best job in The Fellowship of the Ring, including the flight from Bree to Rivendell, and then a great great job in Moria, I do have yet another quibble with the way the beginning was handled.

For me, part of the attraction of FOTR (the book) was that the reader only gradually becomes aware that the magic ring of Bilbo is the one ring. To me, this gradual unfolding provided the real dramatic tension of the first part of the book, with full explanation coming really only with the Council of Elrond. But the prologue provided by Peter Jackson effectively destroys this suspense by letting the viewer know right up front that this is the one ring.
