I think that the movie's impact was more positive then negative.

I had the books prior to the movie's release and was expecting what was going to happen in it. My friends, whom I went with, had no clue. Lets just say that they are hooked now. The moment we exited the theater that first time we went they were all buzzing about how they did not have the patience to wait for ttt and went home begging their mothers and fathers for the trilogy. It was funny how my friends reacted to it though because I was sure that the moment we came out of the movie they were going to all babble about how hot Legolas, Frodo, Aragorn, etc were but instead they were all pounding me with questions about what happens next [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] It really freaked me out about how literary minded they had become in a matter of three hours.
