I am a HUGE J.R.R Tolkien fan!!!!! The books are far superior to the movie period end of subject. While I enjoyed the movies, I knew going in there was no way possible they would follow the script. I’d say 95% of books made to movies don’t do the book justice. Although many of Stephen King’s movies are pretty dam close to the books. I guess you need the author to be alive and a part of it to make that happen.
