LOTR is not "high-art", nor was it intended to be. It was intended to be escapist fun, the operative word being fun. If your life is always serious, and devoid of fun, then LOTR is not the film for you. Save yourself time and energy.What do you mean by high art? What do you mean by fun? Where do you get this notion that the films' detractors are a bunch of frowning grumps?
I don't see the LoTR films as the Beatle's to some imagined alternate version as Bach. I see them more as, I don't know:
"Stonehenge, where the demons dwell
Where the banshees live and they do live well
Stonehenge
Where a man is a man and the children dance to
the pipes of pan
Stonehenge
Tis a magic place where the moon doth rise
With a dragon's face
Stonehenge
Where the virgins lie
And the prayer of devils fill the midnight sky
And you my love, won't you take my hand
We'll go back in time to that mystic land
Where the dew drops cry and the cats meow
I will take you there
I will show you how"How smart can you be in asking a film to deliver something it never intended to deliver, and then criticising it for it's failure?
What do you think I wish it had delivered instead?
