I find, as a heavily visual person, that the movie really brought the book alive for me, but it didn't affect my own imaginings of the book at all. It was really cool to see Hobbiton brought alive. And when you actually got to *see* Rivendell. I had known that it was beautiful, but never been able to put a picture to it. I did, however, find Lothlorien kind of disappointing. It was nothing as I had imagined it. But, it was beautiful nonetheless.
