I have to disagree that fantasy films are becoming an endangered species. I think the success of LOTR will spur other directors to make them.

It's not that I think they will become an endangered species - quite the opposite in fact. It's my opinion that there will be a glut of second rate fantasy movies jumping on to the LOTR bandwagon. All you have to do is look at the number of low quality SciFi movies that followed in the wake of the first Star Wars film. The problem, as I see it, is that it will cause audiences (now caught by the lure LOTR) to drift away from the fantasy genre when these start to appear. They will do more harm than good to the genre.
