Yep... and when you #### with it, you get the Hobbit movies. Also, all the parts about LOTR that were changed made it worse - giving Arwen an expanded part in Fellowship because Liv Tyler needs screen time, all the cheesy Legolas stuff (i.e. skateboard shield), dwarf tossing jokes, doing Eowyn vs Witch King without the Dernhelm stuff... the more they stuck to the original material the better things went.
Thank God LOTR didn't come out now. The best part about it was how little CGI there was. If it was done now... yech.
