I appreciate the movie for what it is,
and I also appreciate the book for what it is.
However, even though I'm a very avid reader, I've found the books a VERY hard read.
Much of it is in old English, and the details can sometimes be overwhelming, awkward & cumbersome.
I like the movies better because they pace it better,
and the scenes are excellent...it's nice to see they finally did a fantasy right.
They've cut out all the gibberish, and gotten to the meat of the plot,
and enhanced it with the visuals.
The only thing I'm disappointed so far with is the change of plot with Faramir.
But otherwise I've enjoyed the movies much more than the books.
