Christopher Tolkien - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm sure there has been a thread on this very interesting man before... but never mind.

What do you folks think of him? Dislike him for being "over protective" and "shunning the films"? Like him for "treasuring" the legacy of his father and keeping the Tolkien seal authentic?

I was very surprised to behold a lot of controversy surrounding the man and his decisions for the Tolkien estate, motion pictures and household - After a thorough perusal i decided to come here to gain a more balanced opinion on the man or monster that is Christopher Tolkien!

Personally... i think he's brilliant
