Do you think that Lord of the Rings is one of the greatest master pieces ever wrote? Yes? No?

Yes, I would consider the books a masterpiece. After all, Tolkien and this trilogy defined the new genre of Fantasy, and set a standard that all books in that genre since then have imitated: the concept of a fictional place, with many non-human characters, and a rich background developed to such an extent with its own history.

I love the books and would rate them very highly in their genre, if they are the greatest masterpieces ever written would take a person much wider read than myself to be able to judge accurately.

The Hobbit is my favourite starter book.

After all what is a Masterpiece is usually only a group of intellectuals or pseudo intellectuals opinion.

The movies should have been made to contain nearly every detail of the book, much more expencive, but the experience would have been that much better in my opinion.

It's up there, but not one of the greatest, in my opinion.

Yes, the third film is on tv right no as I write this.

It is good and worthy of credit, but to be considered one of the greatest, well that title is not earned in my opinion.

Yes, and this is no Tolkien answer either.
I read all the books and must have seen each of the trilogy movies at least 5 times already.
I even saw that cheesy cartoon, the Hobbit which they made many moons ago.
It is the perfect balance in the struggle between good & evil.

No

yeah

Yes, it is arguably the single greatest peice of English literature ever written.

No, but to each their own. I found it boring and too predicitable.

It is good, but not the best. It must just be something that people like similar to Star Trek or something because I just see it as a man with a very vivid imagination that made up his own fantasy world.

Yes, I do, and I sure suggest to read The Hobbit as a prologue before you read the Lord of the Rings, I also think the movie was done excellent, due to the story line it was impossible to fit in all the chapters in 3 movies, but if you have read the Hobbit you will pick up in the Fellowship of the ring the 3 Trolls that got changed into rocks in The Hobbit book, good entertainment I give it 10 out of 10, Harry Potter series also good, but Lord of the Rings is more for the mature fans, no offence. Something I will enjoy for the rest of my life
