I liked the movie...and book. I liked the movie for the action scenes...I don't see why people watch movies for just certain actors...

I liked them both a lot.
And I must admit, it's one of the better Book-To-Movie adaptions I've seen in a while.
Altogether though, I'm going to have to say the movie/s, I found the chapters in the book dragged a bit to much for me. I'm the kind of reader who reads for ten-ish minutes, does something else for ten-ish minutes, reads for ten-ish minutes, and so on and so forth.
I was also very upset they didn't have Tom Bombadil in the movie. But hey, you can't have everything...

I love them both, but I have to pick movie, just because of the great dialogue between Gimli and Legolas and the Aragorn/Arwin subplot that was only hinted at in the main part of the books. Then there's the matter of Orlando Bloom..... heart That pretty much seals the deal.

The books have so much more detail then the movies do, althought I find when I imagine the characters they look the same in the book as in the movie O_o.
Plus I'd have to say the third one is much better on the screen then this whole chunk of the book that kinda 'drones on' if you know what I mean.
I guess...you can watch movies with your friends and laugh when Gimli cracks some comment about Orlando and floral-scented conditioner rofl

The books, so long as I skip the 50 first pages or so.
Character development PWNS in the books...
but the action scenes are laughable.
One page of "intense" action!
yaawn...
