I guess I don't hate to admit it but I have never watched Lord of the Rings, it just never appealed to me. It made the story a bit more difficult to follow but as Ken said there was sufficient context included in the story to allow me to keep up for the most part.

I still remain impressed that you could put this fine of a piece together that quickly (obviously without betas).
