People are not too bright in the adult industry it seems.
LOTR is probably *THE* book that jumpstarted the whole fantasy genre of.. well, everything.
All in all, it's a sweet piece of literature (of course, you have to be literate to enjoy it I suppose), that is always a fun read. I've gotten many of my friends to read it (all 4 books) and they all loved it.
The movie is an adaptation of the books, nothing more, nothing less. There are 3 lord of the rings books, and you just "saw" the first one. Why would it end? Hello?
If you saw the movie w/o reading the books you are completely missing out. Not to mention probably confused as hell over what all happened.
Ah well, people are stupid.
