You might not like the movies (I don't) but I think it is a bit suspect not to watch them because of a review, if you like the books.

Also, there is quite bit of fighting in the book.

In the Lord of the Rings, sure, but not much in the hobbit.

But in general I’m not interested in a film of a book I liked anyway.
