The movies are trash. They do a few nice things, but they mostly butcher the characters, the plot, and the world.

The movies are unbelievably impressive. I understand why big Tolkien fans don't like them but they are probably the single best effort ever at creating a fantasy world on screen. And that score is a contender for GOAT.

how old were you when you saw the movies and read the books?
