CT put out a statement:
Quote:
In a statement through his solicitors, Tolkien said he thought it would be impossible to translate his father's novels onto the big screen.
"My own position is that The Lord Of The Rings is peculiarly unsuitable to transformation into visual dramatic form," he said.
"The suggestions that have been made that I 'disapprove' of the films, vent to the extent of thinking ill of those with whom I may differ, are wholly without foundation."
He added that he had never "expressed any such feeling".

As far as I'm aware Christopher has never seen the movies.
