I read LoTR thirty years ago. I was so thrilled that someone actually made a movie about it, (reviving interest and causing people who would have never considered reading Tolkien to pick the books up) after all this time, it kind of felt like Christmas! Then, the movie was actually wonderful! The characters like Bilbo, Gandalf, Boromir and all, almost eclisped my own visions. So, I totally forgive the leaving of some great stuff out. I always have the books and my imagination. I'm ok with it!
