^That's what I wrote too, wasn't it?
But I don't know where your going with this. Would you, as a Tolkien fan, like it if PJ altered the story all together, even if it was a good and profitable film in itself? Probably not, I'd guess. Of course a filmmaker should respect the source material. Why else would he use it? But is he/she obliged to follow the source material it in every minor detail? Of course not.
