I completly disagree. I thought the movies were great. I wasn't familiar with Tolkiens works, i only knew that he wrote Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, but i hasn't read any of them before. After i saw the first movie on DVD, i went to see the seccond one. And i can call my self a Tolkien-a-holic. Before the movies came out, i didnt read any of his books, and now i've read the Hobbit, FoTr and TTT. I think the movies got a lot more people interested in the books, then disgusted in them. Most of my friends didnt even know Tolkien wrote anything, and now, we are completly crazy about his books. The movies got a whole generation interested. Its like they woke Tolkien up from the dead or something <P>-----------------------------<P>"Save me Master, I'm drownded" ~ Samwise
