All 6 films!
They would need that many movies to fit in all the stories.

couldn't agree more.I may try to see it during my holiday time off.
My feeling on the Tolkein films is that I am happy they were made, even if there were compromises to the stories to make them into movies people would actually want to see. I still like them, even if they are sort of a Cliff Notes version of the books and take some significant liberties.
I saw the final last night, thoroughly enjoyed it and then felt very sad when it was over as that is it...no more Middle Earth stories anymore.
Ah, back in the 60's they were quite the thing to read and read them I did. I rather liked them. I wanted to like the movies, but they didn't work for me. Just not a visual guy; I like doing the visualizing in my head.
That is my approach very well stated. Thanks for that.Youre not alone. I know a woman whos favourite books are The Hobbit, LOTR and the Harry Potter series. However she refuses to watch any of the films as she says theyll just spoil the worlds she has already made up in her mind after reading the books.
Yeah, it does taint the re-reading of the books now. I can't get the actors' faces out of my mind, or the set design.Youre not alone.

True, but not very widely known except by the true Tolkienites. Not sure a studio would take the gamble...The Silmarillion
