No Change In Opinion of Films?

Update to the BBC news site with words from Adam.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6562757.stm

It's interesting as he seems to be following in his father's footsteps regarding the 'official line' on the films and what they have done:

Quote:
Tolkien's grandson Adam, who worked as assistant editor on the book, was also at the launch.

He said he was "sad" at how some fans have forgotten about who his grandfather actually was.

"Everyone talks about the brand , the franchise and the films. People obviously forget there's a man behind it, that he wrote it for his reasons and the books are wonderful," he added.

"I'm certainly not unhappy about the success they've had, but it's a shame that it should become a brand. It's a work of art."
Strong words.
