I saw the movie (fotr) first, before I read the book.. When I saw it I was just like.. ok.. it's an okay movie.. the effects was good.. but that was it.. I didn't understand all the fuzzz around the film.. It was just by an accident I began to read the books.. First I read the Hobbit, then it was done.. I bacame a Tolkien fan.... Then I began reading LOTR... I was fascinated by his work and the story. Then when I was finished with fotr I saw the movie once again.. My God!!! What a GREAT movie!!! One of the best. So my opninion is: The books are better than the movie!! No doubt. As one of my friends said: A book is best as a book and a TV-series is best on screen as a Tv-series.. Do poeple get my point???
