Are the movies a good or bad thing?

<BR> Re: Are the movies a good or bad thing?</b><br><br> I think what a lot of the 'crazy Tolkien fans' are worried about is the fact that there will be innacuracies in the interpretation. I personally am not too concerned. (If it's really bad, and all else fails, I plan to just consider the book and the movie to be two completely different things, which just happen to share the same title.)<br> <br> I'm also going to be happy at the coverage the books are going to get. Unlike a lot of movies-based-on-books, the LotR movie is based on a famous book so I'm sure a lot of critics will discuss the book almost as much as the films, which will be a good thing. <p></p>
