No movie can ever hope to be as deep or comprehensive as the book if the book was first. The closest I've ever seen was Gettysburg... and that admittedly got really close. But not perfect. And that took 4 hours to tell a 250 page book.
As for LOTR, these are 3 hour movies covering incredibly deep books. Anyone who hopes for the books' equal will be dissapointed. Inevitably. But if all you expect is a phenominal movie, it succeeds past any possible expectations...
