<BR> Re: my thought on the movies</b><br><br> I have been reading LOTR for nearly 20 years. If PJ's big screen version is dissapointing, then so be it. It will not affect my perception of this great story. I have seen some movies based on novels that I later read and enjoyed more than the movie and the only drawback is sometimes visualizing the characters as the actor portrayed(like catch 22, world according to garp). But I have been dissapointed in anticipated movie releases in the past such as Phantom Menace, but I think this due to all the hype. This movie has alot of hype already but as stated above we as Tolkien fans are here to discuss it and get the word out to "newbies" that there is a great piece of literature behind it and I read somewhere that sales of the trilogy is on the rise again. I too will see this movie many times even if it is terrible, but how can it be. There has got to be some redeming quality in it, if nothing else then it will bring all of us tolkien fans out of the woodwork! <p></p>
