Interesting to see the low opinion in which he held the movies, considering the revered place in American cinema the trilogy holds. Considering the astounding length and detail with which they were adapted, what more could he have possibly hoped for? What other adaptions have done more to hold true to such a complicated and intricate fantasy universe, especially in the early 2000's and earlier? Many adaptions since, inspired by LOTR, have failed to hold to their source material with such honor and gravity (GoT, etc.).
