They are. However I was more determined to read the nuisances in the books after the movies. I did enjoy the movies. They were stunning. I also thought the acting was top notch.

IMO, some things wouldn't work with the medium. Like the 17 years that pass between Bilbo's party and when Frodo finally leaves the Shire. And the first book spends a ton of time in the old forest (with the evil trees, Tom Bombadil, the Barrow weights, etc.). I think the first movie would have been eight hours long.
IMO, there is nothing wrong with turning one book into several movies. In retrospect, they could have extended the series and made billions more dollars.
Are you kidding? I adore the books but their structure is bizarre and and would never have worked in the medium of film. I have issues with a few of the creative and casting choices that were made, but overall it’s hard to imagine a more successful adaptation.
That said, the Hobbit movies actually are an unmitigated disaster.

The movie people should have faithfully followed the book text. No need to change anything.

are you talking about the Jackson LotR or the recent woke one?
I never watched the Amazon one. It looked like garbage and better to pretend it doesn’t exist.
I know, right?
Seems a lot of us people did that.
