Why does Christopher Tolkien hate the LOTR movies?

I've never gotten a straight up answer to this. Why does he hate them so adamantly? The movies are so beautifully done and follow the lore as closely as possible, so y he do dis?

      [quote]Tolkien has become a monster, devoured by his own popularity and absorbed into the absurdity of our time. The chasm between the beauty and seriousness of the work, and what it has become, has overwhelmed me. The commercialization has reduced the aesthetic and philosophical impact of the creation to nothing. There is only one solution for me: to turn my head away. They eviscerated the book by making it an action movie for young people aged 15 to 25. And it seems that The Hobbit will be the same kind of film.[/quote]The answer straight from the [i]mearas's[/i] mouth.

      • Honestly, the books are much better. Perhaps he dislikes them because a lot of people only see the movies and don't experience the full work of his father.
