I think people don't like LotR because they just can't relate to the book and movie itself. And maybe they just don't understand the deeper and emotional meaning of the story. And some say that it's not nice because of the magic things in it. I always try to explain that it's a fantasy book and that unrealistic and unimaginable characters, settings and events should occur. LotR is not full of magic by the way. They usually mistake culture, abilities and strengths for magical powers. Can they not distinguish the things between these?
