I'm not one of those people (i read the book prior to the film), but i was going to put a point across about people who didnt even know the books existed. Not only were the movies good (every book adaption film has its flaws, it is an adaption after all) but they did give people who hadnt read the books, a tendancy to discover more of Middle earth for themselves. Which for me is a positive in many perspectives.
