Tolkien would also probably like the scenery of everything. That was another great thing about the films. I think Jackson did a good job of taking Tolkien's landscapes and putting them on screen."

I agree that the movie was breathtaking visually, and that the music was fantastic. I absolutley love the Elves singing in Lorien as they mourn the fall of Mithrandir.

I also would very much like Essex's suggestion that this be done in a series form since I keep hearing that the movie can not be done as the book.
