Can Amazon finally give us the 'Lord of the Rings' that Tolkien would have wanted?

Maybe Amazon can finally do justice to what J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy epic Lord of the Rings was supposed to represent.*
I was not a big fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy via Peter Jackson, who decided to stick very strictly to a plot performed by archetypical characters with an emphasis on the arduousness of an adventure to save a land.
What those movies get wrong (which Amazon Studios, who just bought the rights (http://mashable.com/2017/11/13/amazon-lord-of-the-rings-series/), might possibly get right) is that in Tolkien's books, Middle Earth was more important than the characters. Not the other way around.
