I tried to watch the movies 3 times, but no, i couldn't finish them. At first, i think it was because the difference between books and movies (Tom Bombadil etc.) but no, it's all about timing :). Im'm at the half of the third movie now, and yes, it's a good movie. Honestly the drama in some -war- scenes bores me but overall it's absolutely not a waste of time like i used to think it was. Love the Elfish details like Legolas walks on the snow etc. Can't wait the series :)
