MGS4 would have been great had it ended with the epic boss fight. All of Kojima's ramblings after that point killed it for me. I just wanted it to end. It was Return of the King-esque. The climax is done, the player is emotionally spent, and then the director/producer decides it's time to tie up every loose end strewn throughout hours and hours of gameplay/footage. It kills the moment.

then you wouldnt like the actual books.  in the actual books they finish their journey and then celebrate and tie up all the loose ends in the world of men, which is where it would have been best to stop.  everyone is happy and everything anyone has grown attatched to has an ending.

then you read the other half of the book.

The books are structured entirely differently and delve into details the movies couldn't touch. I read them years before the films and re-read them shortly after RotK released.

Different medium, different rules. Besides, Tolkien broke pretty much every literary rule he could think of by structuring LotR the way he did. It worked when he did it... When Jackson changed the story and then lamely attempted the same maneuver with the flims, it just didn't fly.

Books cannot be compared to movies. With movies, you have an emotional rollercoaster that lasts minutes and they're more emotionally spending than a novel. With literary works, you're dedicating hours and hours to read most of them... The same ups and downs don't apply when it takes you 2 minutes to read the dialogue and environments in a book that are delivered by an actor in 20 seconds.
