I'm not usually a huge fan of that kind of thing either, but for some reason I just really enjoy Tolkiien's work. The Silmarillion has to be one of the best works of Fiction ever (Shame it will probably never be made into a movie, it's far to complex/all over the place for it to be summarized into a coherant plot ).

Give it a try, who knows, you may like it.

if you didnt like the hobbit you would hate the trilogy. but you might like the movies. i thought they were much easier to follow than the books.

Not nesecarrily, the Hobbit is quite simplistic when you contrast it with the trilogy (Not to mention the Silmarillion). Give it another shot I say.
