And from that he judged the film solely on those small scenes he PROBABLY watched. Maybe he did watch them all, but still, the story stills stay true to Tolkien's themes throughout the books. And of course there'll be action. With an epic fantasy film you have to have it... There was action in the books, too (not as grand and epic in detail, mind), so did Christopher just expect them to forsake battles (when the event is called the WAR of the Ring)?

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.
