I only seen the 3 movies(extended versions).

I found them boring as hell execpt for the scenes with sauron and the battles. They just dragged on and on. Fellowship of the ring was my fav. Especially Gandalf vs the Balrog.

I've only read the Fellowship of the Ring, but seen all three films and I loved them. I really want to buy the rest of the books.

Honestly I am a huge Lord Of The Rings fan, I've read almost ever book out there that Tolkien has wrote, but also Harry Potter takes it away. Very Happy

the thing that really bothered me was frodo, i liked him so much more on the books Sad

i keep on trying to read them, but i just can't get into it properly because the 1st chapter is too long. Most of the people that i know who've read it say that it gets a lot better after that, but at this moment in time for me the lord of the rings books don't compare to harry potter in my opinion.

I did take a peek a parts of the two towers and from what i read that one looks like a good book.

Also when people say that a book will always be better, well i disagree with that because what about those people who prefer to visually see something than read it.

Well i know you are talking about lord of the rings, but lets me use HP as an example.
I like books and movies just about equally. I like the books because they give a lot more detail than the movies, but i like the movies because i like to visually see something than read something.

I enjoyed reading the third one and second. But one was a bit boring too me. The whole series I would rate is 27/30!

I have. But it is very rare because most of the time the books of the movies are better. But this one was different the movies were better than the books.

The Lord of the Rings is a great read! I think it is a must read for any Harry Potter fan as many of the ideas in LotR are emulated in the HP books. The movies are excellent as well. I guess you could say I'm a bit obsessed with LotR.
