I don't think he would have been insulted, however, I think disappointed would be a better to describe the way he would have felt. Middle Earth was his creation, so I think he would be a little disappointed that he didn't live long enough to be able to oversee the making of these movies. However, I think Peter Jackson did a good job and stayed as faithful as he could, but there was no way you could take the Lord of the Rings the book and film it and be one hundred percent faithful, it would have been impossible.
