I find that this is the beauty of reading books more than once. first time round you get the story, after that every re-read allows you to focus on different aspects of the story. With LOR there is so much in it that You can pick and choose where you go.
The films were good also in their own right and well done to Peter Jackson for visualising it.
My thoughts are that books require you to excercise your imagination. if I had been given an input into the movies I would have included Frodo's moving away from Bagend in Fellowship of the Ring and the journey through the forest to Tom Bombadil as these are really the first inklings the Hobbits get that the world is stranger and nastier than they expected.
I always thought that the Hobbit was ripe for an epic movie as it ticks all the right boxes.
