Heh, I saw Fellowship of the Ring in theaters with someone who wasn't familiar with Tolkien. After the movie she commented that it seemed awfully derivative and just like every generic fantasy.
I was reminded of the quote about the student who didn't see what was special about Shakespeare, since all he did was string a bunch of famous quotations together...
