I couldn't decide if I'm a beginner or a more experienced LOTR-nerd, so - however - I try not to exaggerate and go to the starters. As most of you, I read the books as a teen, was astonished by the movie trilogy and thought "Meh" as I watched the "Hobbit". So I hope to have a great time here and to discuss the next movies and other stuff. CU
