I read the books about 6 years ago for the first time (well, I started with the Hobbit at the time and I was only 12 and English aint my primary language so it might have been somewhat later), but anyway a long time before the movie. And when I heard about it, I didn't like it. Not that I would mind new people knowing Tolkien and liking it (although some react quiet stupid, getting there information rather from the film than from the books), but because the film could never surpass or even be as good as the books. And I found out for myself that the film is quite bad indeed.
greetings,
