Spoilers? I myself am careful to not do anything more than glance at reviews of movies that I want to see (mostly I just look at the ratings of critics I trust, such as Roger Ebert, and then go see the movie and read his full review *afterwards*--even though Ebert is very careful about spoiler info) because I abhor spoilers of almost every kind. But spoilers for LotR? Who here can say they *don't* know the story inside and out already? Even those of us who have never read the books (and I hadn't up until just a few years ago) have at least a passing familiarity with the characters such as Frodo, Gandalf, Sam, Sauron, and things like the ring and the Nazgul.

What I'd be more angry about seeing would be spoilers for things in the movie that don't follow the book--such as Sam killing Frodo and taking the ring for himself, or Galadriel accepting the ring when offered it.
