film was that it didn't follow too closely to the book whereas the HP 
film was a truer adaptation. (If I'm mistaken about what he's saying, 
please correct me.) If you're going to compare the two (which I 
probably shouldn't do as they're very different types, but oh well) I 
would say that Peter Jackson breathed life into that movie unlike 
Columbus with Harry.

The film followed closely enough, imho. HP might have been a closer 
adaption but I think Peter Jackson captured the spirit and the tale 
of LOTR better than Columbus did with Harry.
