Do you think Tolkien would be insulted by the LOTR movies? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think he might not really feel insulted, but a little put off and maybe angry. I mean, I saw the movies before I read the books, and so when I did read the books I was expecting a faster pace, like the movies are (not to say I don't like the books...they are just different from the movie). I think he might have been mad about how Arwen was changed from a two or three line character into a really big star. All of this to say, I think he might not have been insulted but dissappointed.
