If you see the movies first, then you won't know what to expect, which would fun. But if you read the books first, #1 the movies will make more sense #2 you'll have a mental picture of some of the new characters, which you won't get after seeing the movie, because then you'll picture the Actors as the characters.
And that is a great picture of Frodo, one of the few I've seen of him smiling.
