Don't get me wrong. I'm a big fan of Tolkien, and have been ever since I read The Hobbit at about the age of 12. I was hooked on his work from that point onwards. But some of the characters are still annoying.

You'd be annoying if you had the fate of the world thrust upon you. Especially when every day you are being tempted by an evil ring and are having to fight it with all your willpower 24/7 whilst trying to avoid getting captured by people who ar eout to kill you. Besides the Frodo parts of LOTR is about friendship and how we can get through the most difficult of times with the help of our friends.

The ring was just a tool after all.
You don't buy a new hammer and then burn it just in case you hit your fingers with it.
Concentrate on the job in hand, have a plan.
Use the ring and kick Sauron and his boys out of his castle .
Have the Black Riders doing pizza delivery.
Have Saruman and Gandalf as childrens entertainers.
Enslave the elves and use them to gamble on instead of horses as they are very good at running away.
Get the dwarves mining for gold, precious stones and making jewelry.
Get the hobbits cooking and brewing ale.
Then it's party time for you and the rest of the human race.
Job done.
If I was making the LotR films, I would've made it more modern. Instead of the plains of middle earth I'd have it set on a large ocean. And a ring as a wepon of destruction? Try nuclear warheads.
And the rubbish fellowship would instead be replaced by a stripper, a semi-retired engineer, a laundry man and a disgraced special-ops martial arts master turned chef. And the baddies would be man wearing an all black ensemble and chief O'Brien.
And I'd call it Under Siege.
Awesome.
