When I first heard they were making a movie of the trilogy, I was upset. But I did enjoy both films. I cant wait for Return of the King.

And the Silmarillion reads more like Ovid's The Metamorphoses. It is the story of how Middle-earth was created, and of the war of the Silmarils with Morgoth the Enemy.......alos known as Melkor. It has allusions to Lucifer, as Melkor was sort of a fallen Valor, or the one whop was jealous of the other Valor and destroyed there works. It was Melkor who originally created the race of Orcs. Orcs were created out of a group of elves Melkor kidnapped and made the Orcs as a mockery to the elves, bastardizing them into a wrenched race of people.
