I dont think the movies have ruined LotR at all. As someone else said earlier, the films have brought some new die hard fans of LotR and people who think they are fans. If it was not for the film then i would never have read the book and, most likely, would not know a thing about this website and would not be writting this post. What my point is, is that some of these Lotr fan wanna bes will eventually develop into proper fans and be able to get all their facts straight.
I myself am not a true die hard fan as of yet. Ive only ever red the books once (even though im reading them again at the moment) whereas alot of people on the downs read them at least once every year and know every single thing about them. I do not (yet).
