Not the progenitor no, but cher Jazz, the dam that break free.
I think Bambi B has put into words ( that courageous guy ) the essential...
AND it is also a question of dosage...

The influence of LOTR is in those epic scene's Jazz mentions.

SO many movies after LOTR have tried to copy and one up the scale of these epic scenes... especially battles and especially things like seeing a whole army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and things like a sky full of arrows being shot.

But as for simply using CGI and creating fantasy worlds and the like... that horse was out of the barn long ago and I dont see LOTR as some kind of watershed in that regard.

As to Pans Labrynth... I appreciated the film and was taken by much of it but overall it was very stressful and I certainly didn't enjoy watching it (I'm pretty sure I was gnashing my teeth much of the time - at least clenching my jaw - and I often turned away).

  I don�t think so. I think that a kind of special atmosphere has see the light with the filming of loTR.
  It is the same story in images over & over again.
  It may be the result of the same digital imprint.
  I may even think it is.
  
  I don�t turn away at situations I like.
  This film has a message but the cover ( envellope ) ain�t mine....
