I'm a Tolkien purist, read all the works. I even had a beef with the Peter Jackson movies though I think he came from a place of love and the movies themselves were a pkeasure. I wanted to hate Rings, and in fact partially do for its significant digression from canon, but at some point I decidsd to accept it for what it was - a money play with some teasing points - and not waste time feeling bad about it.
