I have not seen the movie or read the books. After reading your review & the reviews of others........ I am going to HATE it I'm sure I'm going to hate it. I don't want to hate it, its just sounds so stupid to someone who hasn't read the books. Maybe I should read the books first, what do you think?

Definately read the books. If you love them, you will like the film. If you dont love them, you will at least know more about it than you did before. Begin with the Hobbit though... not the Fellowship.
