Before LOTR came out, I knew nothing of it. I saw FOTR and was completely, utterly confused yet fascinated by it. I think all the unexplained depth to the world and stories adds to the movies. After seeing it, I went out and read and watched everything I could because I was interested in learning more of the back stories and motivations of the groups and individuals involved. To me, Jackson's vague and even non-existent explanations of things adds to the intrigue and mystique of the world he's depicting.
