Well, there are really only a select few types of people who have the depth and patience to understand and appreciate the Silmarillion, and the way Tolkien writes. You can never speak lightly about it, and I don't think any one part of it could be called boring; rather, an understanding of what was being said, and an appreciation of the depth of detail or description in a given scene/paragraph/sentence, would be required to enjoy the book. However, it's always easier the second time around, and gets better after that.

It was boring for me too the first time i read it but I was reading it before I read The Hobbit or the Lord of The Rings and i did'nt understand most of it, and of course it was a stupid translation into serbian, but much later after i had read The Hobbit and LOTR I got the original version in english it was much more interesting actualy it was one of the best books I had ever read

I think that if they tried to make the sil into a movie it would be WAYYY to long unless they took some stuff out (which im sure they would anyways) But then..if they did..it really wouldnt make sense..unless they made like seperate movies of each chapter..that would be cool..but i doubt that anyone would waste their time reading every chapter and then making a movie out of each one lol

I think it would be a really confusing movie and you would still have to read the book to understand, because, like Evenstar said, they would have to take things out. But still, that would be really cool.

True but it would be just absolutely wonderful for those who know what's going on.

i don't think it's possible to do the silmarillion as a well-done film. the book is too...tolkien-ish

True but they should say that so then people would realize it. We just want the movie because than we can say how others see it.

I don't know if I would really like the movie. I did not read the books before LotR came out, so the changes aren't such a big deal. Yet if the made the Silmarillion, I would be extremely disappointed becuase it is such an impartant book to me!

A TV series would be a better alternative.

'boring' and 'confusing'. Well, confusing yes but when you read the book so many times that you'll understand everything (like me - 13 times - I'm crazy about elves and 'confusing' stories). But 'boring' - please I don't think so! About the idea for movie - not bad it'll be a nice movie, really!

I actually like the idea of a TV show. You get a better picture of it.
