I agree about lord of the rings it could have been better, (too much altering of the plot just to get Tylers face into as many scenes as possible for my liking). I went to the cinema to see FOTR and didn't bother with the rest I just watched them on dvd (copies) and thought they got steadily worse. (hmm reminds me of another franchise). Ah well in about another 30 years someone else might attempt to make a faithful movie or tv series of these great books, we can only hope.
