I hope nobody takes this article as a serious piece of journalism, because it seems to me it is the equivalent of America's MAD Magazine attacking the movie. I have no problem with people printing such material, since anyone who is swayed by the kind of ad hominem arguments ("world-estranged reactionist"?) and skin-deep attacks put forth in the article isn't worthy of Tolkien.
