I think he’d be please that there were movies, but unhappy with the actual movies themselves (What author could be happy when a long carefully crafted book is stripped of most of its richness to fit into a 90 minute flick?)

90 minutes? Each of these films is close to 3 hours long.

with extended DVD versions that add on at least another 1/2 hour too!

I was disappointed there was no Tom Bombadil and Goldberry in the movie with the Barrow Wight.

The basic point remains, how long in book time do the stories take vs how long is available for a movie?
