I, personally, loved the movies. But the reason that I loved them as I did was because I went into the theaters prepared to not compare them in regards to the exact book, but more to see, firstly, whether the movies were good movies and, secondly, whether they kept the major themes that appeared in the books. And, within that criteria, the movies were amazing.

I think that, if a cast had about five years of free time to shoot a movie and the director spent about fifteen years beforehand setting up the script, sets, props, costumes, and everything else that goes into a movie, then they might be able to recreate the movies perfectly. Then, they would need to release it in three-hour episodes once a month for a few years, maybe, in order to get it all seen. So, basically, in other words, while it is technically possible to do such a thing, it will most certainly not happen, at least not within our lifetimes.

However, there is also the problem with physical appearance. Everyone has their own picture of what each location and character looks like, so no one will ever be satisfied with that. Look at how much debate there still is over Legolas's haircolor! There will never be anyone completely satisfied.

So, I guess that while the technology is present to make such a production work, there are too many variables and problems, preventing there to ever be a "perfect" movie.
