Sounds like you wouldn’t have liked The Hobbit either. Good for you!
Jackson did a pretty good job (on the whole) adapting LOTR, but his Hobbit trilogy is terrible.
hee hee, well I saw “The Hobbit” movie with my nephews, but I had never read the book! (don’t really care much for the whole genre)
The movie left me rather lukewarm, but not because I could compare any changes from the book. It’s just that whole fantasy kind of story doesn’t usually do much for me.
