Christopher Tolkien

Hey, all, I have a question that I am sure I could "research" and "find the answer to myself", or perhaps, "has already been discussed even here and I am just wasting precious server space by posting this", but too late.

Why did Christopher Tolkien refuse to take any part in the movies (unless he read the script or something like that, and got pissed off)? Did he want his father's works kept in the books? Did he have a personal vendetta against Peter Jackson? Is he descended from Isildur and knew that Peter Jackson would portray Isildur as a moron?

Just wondering.

Thanks.

God Bless.
