Well,I can't speak for everyone (in fact I know I don't regarding the movies). I wouldn't say I have Tolkien's works on a pedestal,even though my more than passing interest is apparent in the very fact that I post here. I really don't have a problem with Jackson's movies in themselves. I just wish for no movies based on Tolkien works. Some things are better left the way they are,the way they were intended. I suppose it's just that literally nothing is sacred, and there's nothing Hollywood and mass culture won't touch (and maul beyond recognition) in the pursuit of money. As is obvious,I don't care much for the movie industry in general,so maybe an unbiased opinion would be better.... Manwë keep you under the One, and send fair wind to your sails.
