Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the movie with us. It reminded me of the old adage, "Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it." ;^)

I think some jumped on you a little too harshly, after all, you were invited to post your objections. I understand where you are coming from, but I don't get to the same place you got to.

I think Jackson did an excellent job translating Tolkien's vision to the big screen. He also did it in such a way as to draw in people who had not been exposed to JRRT's work and would have gone their whole lives missing out on one of life's more pleasant experiences.

Before this movie my wife had no interest in things Tolkien. We saw the movie about 8 or 9 times in the theatre together. She has read through the whole trilogy in about a week and a half. That is amazing to me because my wife is not a big reader, nevermind a reader of fantasy.

I will always be indebted to PJ for opening this world up for my wife to enjoy, so that we can now enjoy it together.
