I saw a 1/2 hour program on FOX last night at 8:00 p.m. on the making of the trilogy and it is fantastic.
The man making these movies wants Tolkien to be as proud of him as if he himself were overseeing the making of the movies.
I've read the book series several times and every time they are as good or better than before. They're kind of like those movies you watch every Christmas and never get tired of.
I believe that these movies will do the books justice

I'm hoping your right. I remember Ralph Bakshi doing an animated version about 20 years ago, and my wife kept dozing off during it. The Bakshi version definately didn't do the books justice.

I saw the first one, "Fellowship of the Ring," yesterday, and was amazed at how perfectly Tolkein's universe was translated onto the screen. The characters are perfect, and you know the movie's gonna be ok when you first go to the Shire, which is exactly the way I imagined it when I first read LOTR 36 years ago.
