The LOTR Movie Site March 16, 2001 Just Have to Wait and See As for these movies, I have been looking forward to them,
although I have read a great deal of negative feedback here in some essays. I am not an
involved follower of the development of these films, but I am somewhat of a
"purist" as they call it. Today's movie-going generation do not, as has been
remarked in this forum, want a well-done, solemn, and gravely told legend brought to them.
Many do not care for heroes of justice and valour - rather for action packed explosions
and cheesy romance. I will probably go see the first movie, indeed almost definately, but
Peter had better do a good job of it, or else he is guilty of a great crime against
Tolkien and all his readers. Tolkien has created a masterpiece, and I often envisioned it
as a movie as I read it - what an incredible movie it could be, eh guys? Not too many
people left my age (teenage) who appreciate the values of our ancestors of old. But what a
flop it could be, too. I only saw the trailer today, and I must say, although parts of it
