[COLOR=silver]I was just the opposite. When the first LOTR movie came out I didn't want to see. I thought it looked dumb. But then I took a course at the local community college and one of the books we had to read was the LOTR trilogy. So I read them. And I loved them. I thought they were great. I read them twice before I ever watched any of the movies. And then I read them again after I'd seen Fellowship and Two Towers. I can definatly say I am a true fan. And it's true people who said they hated the books and then they see the movies and then say they love the books after they read them again just because they saw the movies annoys me. I personally think you're much better off by reading the books first THEN seeing the movies. It makes stuff in the movies that aren't explained make more sense. And it really helps to read "The Hobbit" before you read the other three books. But that's just me. [/COLOR]
