For what it's worth, Peter Jackson also had a falling-out with New Line because of Hollywood accounting. It's why they didn't want him to direct the Hobbit for a number of years.

It's possible that CT's memories of his father and his feelings about the work are nigh inseparable by this point, so one can hardly blame the man for feeling squicked out when he has to face that those works are now so subject to evolving through the opinions of the crowd. It cannot, and should not, stop that evolution from happening, but everyone involved in creating the adaptations or even just playing with the world could probably stand to remember and respect that a bit more often, for every author, not just Tolkien.

While I certainly enjoyed watching the premiere, there were some parts of the movie, especially Radagast (nooooooooooooooooo!), which put me off.
I really like the soundtrack though, and have it on my Spotify now!
