At Wal-Mart? Ironic, LOTR for sale in the depths of Mordor.
Gotta love 'free pickup at store' as opposed to all those stores with a pickup charge.

I thought the movies were good. And I'm a huge Tolkien fan. You can do some things in books that you just can't in film. I believe the film did as good of a job as anyone could hope for.

Wait for the story to become cloudy. Then read the books. You are missing out if you think the movies can replace the books. A movie cannot truly portray a writing style.
