I, personally, think that the movies would have insulted him. I saw the movies before I read the books, so I was expecting something totally different in the books. Things move a lot faster in the movies, but that's good for a movie because otherwise it would take FOREVER to make a movie. Another thing that I think he might not have liked about the movies is that they make Arwen into such a big star. She has, like, two or three lines in all three books. She is second in the credits in the movie and on the cover of almost everything. In conclusion I think that Tolkien would not have liked, and would have been dissapointed in the movies.
