Yes, I think the creators of the movie suffered from a presumption of foreknowledge. :) There were so many things that begged to be explained and would have added textured to the already rich landscapes. I know they were limited in time! Still... I am hopeful for the DVD.

What I liked about the book, too, was that there was no real encounter between the hobbits and the ringwraiths until weathertop. I felt that their being chased so often detracted from the wraiths "scary" qualities. I liked the fact that in the book there was this overwhelming suspense. In the movie, I never really felt that the wraiths were a threat.
