... but I am also mystified at why people are always assuming the worst of Christopher Tolkien, but giving the makers of the recent films the benefit of the doubt. It seems to me to be a completely wrong-headed double standard that profits no-one.

Squatter, I agree entirely with the points that you make concerning Christopher Tolkien's efforts and the value of what he has done in compiling and presenting his father's works. But it seems to me that there is little basis for comparing him with Peter Jackson (either favourably or unfaviourably) as they were both striving to acheive entirely different things. As far as I am concerned, they both greatly succeeded in what they set out to acheive (and were justly rewarded for doing so).
