I'm just glad that they have the movies made already! That way we don't even have to really worry about whether or not non-Tolkienites go to see TTT. Ok, well, I enjoy reading favorable film reviews and talking to people who liked the movie, etc., but I suppose the most important thing to me is how much I'll like the movie, not what anyone else thinks. Unless that results in no sequels (or to put it in TV terms, if I really like a show but not enough other people like it, the show gets canceled and I can't watch it anymore). But since they're already made, that won't happen.<P>So, if they were making these one at a time, and TTT bombed for some reason, then I'd be worried! But I don't think TTT will bomb. How could anyone who sees the trailer think it's just a cookie cutter replica of FotR? Also, because the conflict wasn't resolved at the end of FotR, anyone who wants to see how the story continues will go see TTT.
