I think people just have a hard time seeing things from another person's perspective. Think about it: there's probably something that you absolutely love, right? Would it seem a little unusual if someone didn't like it? Probably at least some part of you might think so.

That being said, obviously making you sit through 9 hours of movie isn't going to change your mind. I love Tolkien and his works, but it's absolutely OK not to like his stuff, as long as you don't go out of your way to bother people that DO like it (which you don't seem to be doing at all in this secret). If you like fantasy of that genre at all, then I think it would be good for you to try to understand the impact Tolkien had on it (for better or worse), but even then I can understand why you might not like it--Tolkien wasn't flawless. He's often long-winded and sometimes allows characters to be underdeveloped (often because his casts are packed too solid--look at how many dwarves The Hobbit has!). His real strength is in his world-building, probably because the stories only started because he wanted a world to create languages in (since that was his real interest). I still adore his work because of the depth and scope of his world and the mythical feel to it, but that's a taste thing. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and all that.

Sorry for the incoming flood of fanning over Tolkien with The Hobbit coming out in theaters. I hope people won't bother you too much.
