I would have prefered to have read the books first, then seen the movies. I guess it's partly because I had all the movie characters stuck in my head, and I'd rather my imagination had created the images in my head while reading the books, but unfortunatly they were all film based. I sometimes also don't feel like a proper Tolkien fan, more like a movie fan. Luckily, i had started reading The Hobbit before I saw FotR, so at least not everything in my mind is based on the movies. I find it strange how close my idea of what Gandalf looked like was very similar to how he does in the films. A combination of Tolkien's superb discriptive skills and PJ's knowledge of the books I believe. Gollum was very different in my mind though, but I have to say I can no longer remember the way I saw ME in The Hobbit before I saw FotR. The movies have clouded my mind...
