What did Christopher Tolkien think? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Sorry, but I think CT is absolutley right. The books are not suited to visual representation. Tolkien's language is absolutely essential to LotR. That's why the BBC Radio version works so much better than the movies.

I know this isn't a popular view here on the Downs, but it is correct (as is usual with me).
