books and Movies George

 I would have rather not have seen the movie for the phantom tollbooth as to took the sheen off of the book. The Hobbit movie was so good and I think that it is highly unfair that it didn't win any Oscars just because it wasn't as dark and mysterious as the Lord of the Rings. On the Lord of the Rings I enjoyed the books, watched the movies, read the books again and the books were seemingly terrible in comparison.  In short, most movies are good if made from books but  I think the authors should have more of  a say in the making. The changes made in the Hobbit were good but in Eragon the author was a little bit annoyed about them.
