When you stop and think about it, the entire premise of the film could have been labeled cheese -- evil Rings? Talking trees? Giant eagles? -- but instead, they somehow pulled off the challenge of making the Tale work on screen. More and more, I think what we got was a "film opera" -- when you look at the scenes or plot elements individually, they can seem over-the-top, or cheesy or whatever you want to call it, but together, it all works to create the right kind of stage for this story on screen. At least from the non-fan and critic perspective, for the most part, who ended up having a lot of respect for Tolkien and fantasy as a result of these films. (Same goes for many fans -- I don't see a lot of cheese or scribbles on Jackson's Mona Lisa, sorry. She looks very nice to me!)
