Really? While I agree that there's definitely room for improvement, I prefer the films over the books. And I definitely disagree with Jackson being CGI obsessed, or at least it reflecting on LOTR. IMO the LOTR trilogy is a perfect example of balanced use of CGI in symbiosis with other techniques - Vast majority of places in LOTR are either real locations, beautifully made sets or stunningly detailed miniatures. A lot of the creatures were done using make-up instead of CGI, like the orks, those are just beautifully ugly and where CGI is used, it is usually put to a very good use and looks very good.
