Lord of the Rings is a very involved story. Though popular it doesn't appeal to the masses the way others may (Star Wars, Indy, etc...) in my opinion.
It is also a much darker film franchise and again, it wouldn't appeal to that many (especially younger guests).
How does one of the highest-grossing trilogies of all time not appeal the the masses? Granted, many people couldn't bare to sit through over 9 hours of story...but, then, many people don't like sci-fi fantasies, either. Granted, not everyone likes LotR...but not everyone likes westerns or the Alien movies, either. You can never please everyone...but LotR has enough appeal to make it work in GMR. After all, it's not like the whole attraction would be based on it...just one scene. And I know a lot of younger people who really enjoyed the movies.
I certainly do not want to see more Pirates in there, though. To me, it would be redundant. They already have PotC at the MK. No need to have it in MGM (...DHS), too. I would really like to see at least one new scene in GMR based on a movie that does not already have an attraction.
