I love them, grew up listening to the audio so when the movies came out at the cinema we always made sure to see them ASAP!

My absolute favourites. In particular Return of the King. The older I get the more I love them. First watched them in the cinema around Christmas time.

Greatest movie trilogy ever made, based on one of the most influential novels ever written. It’s brilliant and we love it! I’ve been thinking about watching again recently (extended versions, naturally) 😁

Read the books about 5 times (first time at about 12 years old), listened to them maybe another 5 and watched the films several times.

I could never get into them, I watched a bit of one once and it was just this annoying nerdy little dwarf thing getting carried through a Forrest by its mates always moaning and squealing on. Turned it straight off and never entertained the thought of watching any of them ever again

The books are the best of their genre, the films were far better than we could have hoped for. Won’t even attempt to watch the new Prime series though

As you may guess from my user name, I am something of a LOTR fan. To my mind, one of the finest pieces of imaginative fiction ever written. All of the woks set in Middle Earth are absolutely wonderful.

I read the book when I was 11 after my brother took me to see the 1978 Ralph Bakshi animated version. I read "The Hobbit", then "The Silmarillion" when it was released; and I got a copy of Robert Foster's "Guide to Middle Earth".

I've been a lifelong lover of Professor Tolkien's literature.

I have to say in all the rare Tolkien books that I have, Robert Foster's "Guide to Middle Earth" is indispensable.

In later years there've been many guides and list and beastiaries as publishers have jumped on the bandwagon. Some are good; some are indifferent. The films have accelerated the proliferation of merchandise. But Robert Foster's "Guide" is still the original and best reference work, in my opinion. Never bettered.

Of course.

Only the extended editions exist. Theatrical release has been wiped from existence and memory - honestly I can't even remember which parts of the extended edition were not even included in theatrical anymore.

The movies have their faults (ghost army, far too close to deus ex machina than it should be, yet dismissed away far too easily too).

Respects source material, any changes are done with respect for the source material and Tolkien himself too.

I've tried to, didn't like the books, enjoyed the Bakshi movie, coz it's not 6 weeks long, I find the Jackson films to be spectacular but a little longwinded and dull.

Best books out there..I once read that tolken wrote the lord of the rings to try and explain to his kids/grandkids why wars were fought..I belive one of them asked why he was fighting in the 2nd world war to which he didn't really have an answer a young kid could've understood..I love these books

We have a Lord-of-the-Rings-athon every year.

It helps a lot having somebody on hand to explain what's going on. There's a lot of back-story required to understand it that I don't think is explained very well in the films. I think I've watched them five times now and I'm getting the hang of it.

Partially one of the many reasons, yes. Or at least what inspired it. It was definitely something for him to honour his fallen friends.

He had done a hell of alot of the leg work already, created languages and the hobbit being a big catalyst for what followed.
