Movies separate from books
As movies, I thought they were good, (FOTR more than TTT), but I enjoyed both. As Adaptations I thought the movies could have been better and still stay within the 3hr/movie timeline.
As for the general feel of Middle Earth I think the films succeeded. I think the movies (upto now) conveyed the following themes from the books well: Good vs. Evil Duty and honor Friendship and loyalty The following was not so well or clear Characterization of characters Things change and do not remain the same I will need to look for info to back my opinions, but this is a good start of my impressions of the movie conveying Tolkien's LOTR. Sincerely, Anthony
