Ironic, Indomitable, that you accuse "movie n00bs" as only caring about the actions scenes, yet that's the only thing you seem to see in the films, even claiming there's little to no plot.

I just stated a truth, movies are almost always just the fight scenes. Please, enlighten me on how this helps your stance at all. You wanna go around throwing the films under the bus, claiming they have no depth and saying they are only mostly "action scenes", yet these are the very things you only see in them?

With that said, ironically, the only person that seems to lack any depth at all here is you, since you obviously can't grasp the clear dynamics of the films (and seem to only grasp the action scenes). Don't bother denying it, I have you directly quoted above (along with Catfish).

The musical themes for each individual culture, groundbreaking CGI achievements, incredibly detailed prop/weapon designs (again, for each individual culture), and most importantly, highly dense plot... I could go on and on about the depth in the Middle-earth films, which more than soars far ahead of any film saga thus far. "nothing but action scenes"? You'd have to be borderline brain-dead to firmly believe that, to be completely honest, because it's just so undeniable that the Middle-earth films have depth, with the clear aspects and hard work put into them.

The clear fact that you can't see any of that is a real tragedy to me, and only further upholds the "book extremeist" stereotype: blind, ignorant, and narrowsighted. It's no wonder the rest of the Tolkien community frowns upon this toxic sect of our fandom... so, don't bother accusing the movies of being less deep, and claim they're "mostly only action scenes", since apparently that's literally the only thing you seem to see about them, which makes your stance highly hypocritical. With that said, sorry to break it to you, but: you're not really that much better of than a movie casual, if you can't practice what you preach. And the sad truth is: you can't.
