Are the movies a good or bad thing?

<BR> Re: Are the movies a good or bad thing?</b><br><br> Don't get me wrong, I am a fanatic as much as you. But I want others to get hooked on Tolkien. The easiest way for that to be done is for the movie to be released. Do you remember when Jurassic Park was released, I had already read the book and thought the movie a grouse interpretation. After a while though I found myself with a copy of it. I am not worried about the things that are left out or changed. I am worried about how the masses will respond to the movie and if their response is good, then I will be worried about their response to the books. I want people to enjoy Tolkien as I do. <br> <br> The only problem with converting books into movies is that the imagination doesn't get to run as free. Is this what you are worried about? Someone disagreeing with your idea of what ME is? <p></p>
