Indeed! It was hard, back in the day, biting my tongue every time one of my friends raved.
I am definitely NOT going to watch the other Hobbit films -- the first one was bad enough...
Bean made Boromir into a tragic figure, in a way that didn't come over quite so well in the book. I found the settings got worse as time went on; the Shire & Rivendell were good; Moria a little disappointing; Lothlorien & Rohan completely wrong; Minas Tirith just rubbish.
