I would give anything, ANYTHING, for Tolkien himself to have seen the films, and then to know what he thought of them. If you, like me, share his faith, then that is a possibility. But that's another thread...
Really, to say that the movies should never have been made is selfish. Millions have been introduced into Tolkien's world through them. Even for those who don't read the books, they've still been given a glimpse, just a glimpse, of the beauty and majesty of Middle-earth. Unfortunately, they've also been given a belching Gimli and an insane Denethor, but hey, take what you can get.
