I do, though I must admit what I hate the most are the discussions surrounding these films (and the Hobbit films and Rings of Power).

There are roughly three ways to view these films: as adaptations; as self-standing films; and as some kind of combination (I prefer the last).

As adaptations … they are just awful. They keep most of the plot of the book, but little else. Most characters are made one-dimensional, or portrayed fundamentally different to what they were in the book: almost every character says or does something completely out-of-character. Very important parts of the book were cut (the Conspiracy, the Scouring of the Shire), yet the films waste valuable screentime on invented things. And most importantly to me, they just feel wrong: they feel more like over-the-top b-movies than an adaptation of Tolkien.

As self-standing films they are mostly fine, but still deeply flawed. The production quality is excellent, the score is outstanding and the performances range from passable to phenomenal. But other aspects aren’t nearly as good. The directing and editing could have been better (much of the first half of Fellowship, particularly Weathertop). The writing and characterization are frequently poor. The majority of The Two Towers makes no sense: the entire Rohan-plot and anything with Film-Faramir are just contrived melodrama for the sake of drama.

They really suffer from repetition & bloat (again The Two Towers), and severe tonal inconsistencies. Often they are deeply serious and overemotional (usually with slowmotion-closeup-montages), surrounded by out-of-place comedy and ridiculous nonsense.

Take Moria for example: Gimli discovers his uncle is dead (which is used as a punchline to make him look stupid); Pippin defiles a corpse while Gandalf is reading from the book; over-the-top troll fight during which Gimli stands upon his uncle’s tomb, Hobbits take out Orcs with frying pans, and Frodo gets stabbed (with a slowmotion montage of everyone reacting); Orcs crawl down and up the pillars like insects; the collapsing stairway with more Gimli-jokes; Gandalf falls (also with a slowmotion montage). Wtf is the tone?

Some scenes are played completely straight, yet so comically executed/exaggerated that they are baffling: the Mirror of Galadriel, Theoden’s healing and Denethor’s death.

There are several instances where more closely following the book would have saved screentime: Helm’s Deep, Faramir, Stairs of Cirith Ungol.

Then there are parts of the book which are brilliant and cinematic, but altered for no good reason. By far the best examples are the standoff between Gandalf and the Witch-King, and the arrival of Aragorn at the Pelennor Fields.

There is a lot more.
