I was the complete opposite. I read LOTR first. Then when I read The Hobbit, it seemed a little on the silly side to me. Oh well. Variety makes the world go 'round.

I also would have ended the movie version of Return of the King in Minas Tirith after Aragorn says; "My friends. You bow to no one." (fade to black). I was never much of a fan of the Scouring of the Shire and the "off to the Grey Havens" portions of the book. I only need one ending not three or four.
