Saying a movie is better than a book or vice versa is just silliness. Movies are a hot medium, whereas books are cold. (Or maybe it's the other way around... been a while since Com 101) In other words a movie you can sit passively and have it fed to you, whereas a book you have to actively focus your attention on it.
The LOTR movies were good movies but they can't compare to the experience of reading the books. I'm not saying they were better or worse, I'm saying they can't compare. I loved the movies, I loved the books. 'Nuff said.
I'll add some more to my list of cinema-hates while I"m posting...
-Any Adam Sandler movie (one trick pony)
-Any "funny" Jim Carrey movie (he's a good actor, but again a one-trick pony when it comes to comedy: "LOOK AT MEEEEE! YELLING OPERA STYLE AT THE CAMERAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!")
-Anything touched by the magic wand of Ben Affleck - except Armageddon which in which the coolness of Bruce Willis and the prettiness of Liv Tyler cancelled him out.
And of course...
-*Anything* ever made for the Disney Channel; I think we can all agree on that one.
Last time I had lobster, it reminded me of biology class. Except in biology class the professor didn't make you eat the frog when you were finished.

!!!! Ben Affleck update!!!!
He was in Dogma. Which was fucking awesome. .Com.
Umm....LotR is overrated, but it still is one of the top 100 movies ever. Still, their nothing in compare to the books. Listen, you bunch of illiterate dumbasses! ( Not meant as an insult. )
Books are so different from movies, that they are millions of lightyears from each other in matters of comparison.
Books you read. You have to ACTIVELY take part in the understanding of a story, when movies deliver it on a platter.
So...The books are way better 
Another bad flick : Batman & Robin and Batman Forever.... OOOOOOOoooo the horror! It´s like the first two movies we´re super cool ( which the were ), and they HAD to change director and make really bad sequels. DIE! DIE EVIL SPAWN OF SUCK!

It should be noted that I like the books, I'm just saying Amnesia should check out the movie even if he didn't like them. It's not everyone's cup of tea.
Phizzy: Tom Bombadil is a hippie douche who runs through the woods singing and being generally irritating. When the hobbits leave the Shire they don't just turn up on a hill and get given swords, what happens is they wander though an enchanted wood, fall asleep and get eaten by a tree. Then Bombadil saves them. Then they stay at his place for a while. Then they toddle off and get captured by a barrow wight (which I really wish had been in the movie, since it would've been a cool sequence), and then Bombadil saves them again. They get thier swords (apart from Sting) from the wight's tomb.
Bombadil is one of the acient Maiar or however it's spelled; a kind of messenger nymph that helped create the world then took up residence. Same as Gandalf, Sauron and the Baelrogs, although most of them live on the Grey Isles now.
But he's an irritating fag and I'm glad he wasn't in the movie.
