Surely the fact that PJ has brought Tolkein to a wider audience is something that should be appreciated, regardless of whether he includes Tom Bombadil or not, or doesn't spend the first half of the Fellowship on a bloody mushroom farm. He still includes the core message of Tolkein, and when you think about, it could have been a lot, lot worse.

Also, is there a First Age Total War? Belegost FTW
