Yes he would. Ifidelities to the original books aside, it's still a compelling and wonderful tale, and that's what Tolkien was in it for. He'd love it.

No he probably want people to read and use their minds and not watch the unimaginative movie.

I don't see how the LotR movies come across as "unimaginative". I'm all for reading, but seeing a visual masterpiece in action is a good way to spend an evening, too.

Yeah, I think he'd probably enjoy it. Stroudiztan said it well.

i read the books and saw the movies, and i love them both. yeah, the movie does change some stuff, but it's not too bad, mostly stays true. and the visuals are awesome. and pretty much how i pictured it when i was reading. so i think tolkien would like them.
kind of like how JK Rowling works with the Harry Potter movie people. (prisoner of azkaban movie= disappointing. off topic)
