In brief, I am very glad that I have seen the movies. I consider them to be very good adaptions of Tolkiens work. I loved the book when I read them (and of course, still do) and I don't feel that the movies have spoiled them for me. Occasionally the movie helped me to envision a certain scene or understand a part of the plot better. of course, certain changes do irritate me a little, but I try to keep myself under control and remember that we really are pretty lucky to have such a decent adaptation (think of how much worse it could have been).
