The man basically dedicated his life to curating, deciphering, pouring over and editing J.R.R. Tolkien's writing to give us The Silmarilion, Children Of Hurin, Unfinished tales, translations of beowulf the list goes on and on. He's arguably the one person who knew Tolkien and his world best. That's why somebody would "give a flying fuck" about christopher tolkiens opinion on anything related to Tolkien. There you made me explain it.
His opinions will always be lesser than the man who actually wrote the material. Anyways what were the movies supposed to be in his ideal world? The long cut versions are like 3.5hrs each and theyre still not long enough to encompass all the material in the books. Longer? With less action? Lmao what a joke they would be. Just because youre the worlds #1 LOTR editor/historian doesnt mean you have good opinions on movies or television.
