>>anyone who does not agree has either not read them or didn't understand

Well I guess I did'nt understand the books then, only read LOTR twice. :P

The film failed hopelessy to capture the essence of the books which is why I found it such a dissapointment.

Just cos the characters and scenery match the book pretty well doesnt mean anything unless the story and script AND directing are of the same qaulity.
