Kubrick could have done magic with Tolkien. Too bad he did not try it.

Yes, it's too bad he was getting too old by the time the CG was good enough to pull it off. Judging by Barry lyndon he would have no problem letting it run a bit long to complete the story. He wouldn't change the story just for a bit more popularity among the pre-teens either.
