I love Tolkien but can't agree that the movies have ruined the stories written by JRR. It's just a different interpretation, or the chance to flesh out the story with parts missed or hinted at in the stories/appendices, etc.. I'm hoping for an epic encounter with the Necromancer/Sauron to be included in the film.
