Joy Ride was an absolutely awesome movie. My only qualm is that they left it too open-ended - it's quite obvious there will be a sequel or two. Won't ruin the ending for anyone, though, cuz it's very unexpected, and very cool

This cannot be, Matrix 2 has more votes than Fellowship? Haven't you seen the trailers and haven't you read the books? This is an outrage!

I know I'll get flamed for this... but I hit a road block halfway through The Two Towers. After reading the Wheel of Time books, and loads of Orson Scott Card, finally picking up LOTR was like a long-postponed classic. I was psyched. Yes, i thought, this will r0x0rz. The first book was great. I loved it.
(Don't read below if you haven't read the books. highlight it, it's in white)
[color=white3ea57] I applauded Tolkien for killing Gandalf, a very important character. Then, the second book started to be like a battle for me. I was trudging through it, blah blah, orcs, ents, whatever, and then Gandalf reappears. [/color3ea57]
So, that's my main problem with the books. Other than that, the characters sort of annoy me, theres too much "why me" and "i'm scared" although the hobbits can be quite funny... I just couldn't read any more.

Try "The Silmarilion" ... you're love that

Gee, PSO, don't scare him

TheFlib, in my opinion Tolkien's strength was not the story itself but the world and the characters he created. If you read the appendix (after "Return of the King") or as Paul suggests "the Silmarilion" you will find good explainations why character you mentioned did what he did.

It's a bit hard going ("The Silmarillion" that is ...) but it'll certainly (as dhn says) tell you everything you wanted (or wondered) to know about the ages in Middle Earth.

And as a side note, I just noticed London gets the World Premiere of the first film

Me happy ... that means we get two Warner/New Line World Premieres within a month or so of each other, crikey! Now, if we can just get Episode II premiered here as well ...

I just wanted to tell you that the first real Lord of the Rings reviews are available...

They all sound great so far!
