Is Christopher Tolkien's opinion, not yours (or mine, for that matter, I like all of PJs adaptations). He hated all of PJ's Lord of the Rings films, an opinion he expressed in no uncertain terms in a 2012 interview with Le Monde. "They eviscerated the book by making it an action movie for young people aged 15 to 25," Christopher says regretfully. "And it seems that The Hobbit will be the same kind of film." (English version of interview available here): http://www.worldcrunch.com/culture-society/my-father-039-s-quot-eviscerated-quot-work-son-of-hobbit-scribe-j.r.r.-tolkien-finally-speaks-out/hobbit-silmarillion-lord-of-rings/c3s10299/#.UO2UF288B8G

My thoughts on the Silmarillion being adapted are already well known (I won't bore you unless you ask) but these interviews may be of interest

I think that things could easily change over time re: The Silmarillion rights.
