Lord of the Rings is awesome. I re-read it once a year at least.

The movies were spectacular, but the books were spectacular-er.

They better not flark up The Hobbit movie. It was the first real epic story I ever read as a kid. The dragon was bad ass.

I honestly kind of hesitant on the Hobbit part 1 and 2 coming to be under the same director as Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy. I love both of the movies, but Im not sure if that style would fit well with Jackson's masterpieces.

I love both of the movies, but Im not sure if that style would fit well with Jackson's masterpieces. Honestly, Jackson's style(which mind you was very good) wouldn't fit with the Hobbit anyway. So I think it's a good idea to have someone with a different style do the movies anyway. |

The movies were some of my favorites, especially the first one. I have the books but I admit I haven't read them yet. I should.

I fucking love LOTR. I do prefer the books over the movies in several places though.
