You get the basic gist from the movie without the boring overuse of word by Mr. Tolkien. I got mad props for Tolkien's intent with the trilogy, and I understand that, to fulfill the intent, he had to be wordy, but Jesus fucking Christ. Reading the Lord of the Rings is like trying to read the dictionary with your eyes half open after being awake for 48 hours.
