With all due respect, you are rudely mistaken.

These films will hardly be dated one whit in my estimation! They are accessible to anyone, regardless of age, with an imagination and love of the fantasy genre. Furthermore, these films have greater philosophical depth than 90% of the so-called adult fare coming out of Hollywood today, but that's a rather foolish argument anyway since large scale productions are intended as broadly accessible entertainment first and foremost. I'm sorry that you never acquired a taste for sombre and serious fantasy films, but I don't recall Tolkien's Ring trilogy EVER being slated as a Monty Python project! ;^)

BTW, nearly every epic story of heroism is predictable to a greater or lesser extent, and especially those which are based on myths and legends. You may find Tolkien's Ring Trilogy ponderous, but one man's ponderous is another's masterpiece; I'm sure that there are films you like that I would find tedious in the extreme, but such differences may be merely a matter of tastes or preferences, are they not? If I called films that you considered great artistic achievements "children's fare" I'm pretty sure that you would take umbrage to my demagoguery of your tastes on some level, so how about lightening up about the LoTR trilogy before someone decides to get medieval on your Orcish arse, metaphorically speaking, of course.
