i had no trouble watchning The Lord of the Rings.I think it is a great cinematic achievement. One of the greatest actually. Not without it's flaws to be sure but in the grand scheme of things I find it an amazing achievement indeed. I am still at a loss to explain the severe negative reatcion some have to this trilogy. I am also amazed that otherwise savvy folks would be completely incapable of seeing *any* of it's merits. Kind of reminds me of some music snobs' reactions to rock and roll back in the fifties. "That's just noise!" Amazing howsome with a reasonable level of musical knowledge would be so completely wrong about a genre. I realize not everyone is into myth on such a pure level but for some to be so blinded by biases and prejudices as to fail to see any of this production's virtues still amazes and surprises me.
