A what if question

[King of the North]

This has been nagging on my mind for some time now. What would good old Ronald have said if he was able to see PJ's LotR series?
Now for my opinion. If one looks at the life of this great author, there are many possibilities. 1st off, no matter what Tolkien's opinions would be of the film, he would still appreciate and respect the extremely hard work put into these movies by everyone associated with them. Tolkien's opinion of these films greatly depends on these two factors, among others, that we must guess at. 1: he understands the limitations and difficulties of visual FX used by WETA, and 2: he is sympathetic with the fact that translating book into film, requires making some changes ( in fact many changes). Being an English gentlemen, I believe he would be considerate in understanding why PJ and crew made the changes they did. But he would most likely not approve of the simplification of his works to allow audiences who have not read the book(s) to comprehend the events before them. For the visual aspect of the LotR films I believe he would be greatly pleased by the quality. His only problem might be that some things are not what he envisioned them to be, but being an intelligent man he would know that PJ's interpretation of things would be than different than his own in some places. Concerning the musical aspect of the LotR films, Tolkien would be greatly pleased. When he came out with the LotR, he intended for others to come in with song and dance. I think Howard Shore created an orchestral masterpiece for the LotR movies and the professor would think of it the same way. Tolkien once said that LotR is an unfilmable book. I am fairly sure though that these movies would change his mind. In fact I think that he would be blown away by them. Professor Tolken would be thankful towards PJ and crew for helping enhance his world of Middle Earth.
