LOTR trilogy wasn't THAT good though
I haven't read the books but even i found the movie trilogy to be boringly predictable... "oh look, those hobbits have spent the whole movie trying to win favour with the tree men... i wonder if anything will come from their endeavours? *sarcasm*"
Also, the whole trilogy seems to follow the following formula:
10 - Journey towards X
20 - Meet Y on the way
30 - If Y == good then Y = friend
40 - If Y == evil then run else if friends (are greater than) 6ft then fight
50 - goto 10
My personal opinion is that the LOTR trilogy, along with other modern (near) shite fests such as Ironman, is included into a group of special fx driven movies where the fans of the literary originals are mesmerised by all the shineyness of the FX, and the quality of the original paper versions, into thinking they're amazing - like they're viewing it through "LOTR" or "Ironman" tinted glasses... and just like the Ironman fans - they start to cry when any of this is pointed out to them.
Boo fuckin hoo
