I agree with Christopher Tolkien that the Lord of the Rings will never be perfectly adapted to the silverscreen. I try not to think of Peter Jackson's work as an adaptation, but rather as an incomplete interpretation. For Return of the King, I am without a doubt expecting the best movie of the three. I agree, Child of the 7th Age, that the spirit of the Grey Havens must be captured near-perfectly.
