Glad you enjoyed it.  Unfortunately, my experience has been just the opposite.  I read the books in the early 90's.  Upon watching FOTR, though, I found it too fast-paced and so much was cut (gutted?) from the books, that I did not at all enjoy the movie. Mind you, I don't consider Jackson's attempt to be a complete failure, it's just that there's too much in each of the books to pack into a 2 - 3 hour feature.  Each book could easily (and should) be a 10-12 episode series. Think three (or four if you want to include "The Hobbit") seasons.  Short of that, I'm just going to stick with the books.


I dont blame you there. It should have been made into a show rather than a movie.

I have never watched a single thing in 4k yet. But if I do, I'll make sure it's LOTR on your recommendation.

I loathe the movies. Apart from reading the actual text, my next best thing is the 13 hour BBC series. And to add to that, Tom Bombadil audio from Tales from the Perilous Realm.

I have watched 4K movies on my 5K iMac, and yes indeed the quality is impressive.

You loathe the movies? May I ask what is it about them do you hate.

I am aware of several issues I do have with the movies such as the portrayal of Faramir and cutting out Tom Bombadil, but overall, I believe they are some of the greatest movies to grace the realm of cinema.

There are too many changes introduced into the movies that detract too too much from what actually is written, and thus how certain characters and events are to be understood.

One ready example is the glaring error that Arwen saves Frodo at the Ford of Bruinin. Blasphemy! :laugh1::laugh1:

Frodo pushing Gollum into the fires of Orodruin. :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

For those who can enjoy the movies.....thankfully liking or disliking them does not have a direct bearing on one's salvation. :cowboy:
