I've always said that Fellowship of the Ring is a wonderful live action adaption of Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings cartoon.
I can see a lot of flaws in the LOTR films, and don't mind sitting there picking them apart academically, but....in the end I still really enjoy them. They're still an amazing set of films, and it was an amazing experience at a very important time in my life. It's likely the best we ever could have got from Hollywood - I've read some of the other film treatments throughout the years, and we dodged a lot of bullets.
So they're not perfect - few films are (although there ARE a few that are...)
