I have grown up knowing Tolkien's stories all my life. And the movies are spectacular. Get over it. <P>It's like a painting. The artist paints it with blues and greens. But you don't like blues and greens ... you like reds and oranges. However, Davem, there are a lot of people who like blues and a lot who like reds, and some who like both. So you go paint with you colors, and let others paint with theirs. In the end we all have our paintings fit just to our taste. So if you love the books, pretend the movies were never made. Be content that you have the choice of shunning the movie, and enjoying the books. Do not criticize those who are openminded and can enjoy both blues and reds however, for those are the true lovers of all the paintings. And so ... who are the true lovers of all of Tolkien.
