Message: [QUOTE="bud, post: 229744, member: 16160"] I saw an interview with Tolkien before he died saying he thought all the adaptations/dramatizations of his books were crap and was completely against any more adaptions. Tolkien's son, Christopher I think, was also dead against the new movie, and disowned his own son because he supported the new movie. I saw the old film and walked out halfway thru because it was so bad. If that is what Tolkien was basing his opinion on, fair enough. Of course the new film is a lot better by all accounts, but would Tolkien himself have approved of it? I doubt it. That won't interfere with my enjoyment (or not) of it, when I decide to see it.
