Forget the bad critics, this is how it is

Picture yourself being beamed back in time to 1954. Ok you got that? Read the "Lord of the rings" knowing that it is a complete new genre the good man has created, along with a epic story-line unmatched by any other book except maybe the bible or other religious content.Right,now live your time all the way through to the year 2001 and then tell me that the movie being made by Peter Jackson is a "been there done that" movie, and that it looks like Harry Potter. Now, am I the only one who thinks this is really a bit of a strange thing to say? Isn't it so that all the movies/series/books of the same kind are actually all inspired by this man's work of art? Yes they are indeed. So how could anyone blame Peter Jackson for making a been there done that movie about a book that was created in 1954? He simply made the movie as is, because at it's time it was revolutionary. So if you possess only the slightest bit of intelligence you watch this movie as if it is the first of the sort you have ever seen, keeping the book and it's old age in mind. Jackson had to leave out certain parts of the film or it simply would have gotten to long. For sure I didn't want the movie to ever end because it captures the books atmosphere just about perfectly. People are never going to be satisfied about the casting being made, but if you take the scale of the trilogy in mind, and it's immense budget, you can forgive the moviecompany for casting some of the more familiar faces, because the risk would have been to great to take unknown talent for the more important characters of the film. This movie and ,my guess is, the next two episodes deserve to be firmly in the nr.1 spot of all time.
