For me the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings trilogy came many years after I'd read and loved the books, but nonetheless managed to capture both my view of Middle Earth and its inhabitants:
I loved all the films and watched them all at the cinema and subsequently several times on DVD. I've even been to a concert performance of the soundtrack to The Fellowship of the Ring where a live orchestra accompanied the screening.
I came to Game of Thrones via the books, but watched all five series soon afterwards. I was impressed by the compression but the lack of budget sometimes showed: my imagination filled the screen with horsemen (like views of Rohan) although the screen showed a line of riders on the horizon.
Thus I'm approaching the film version of The Colour of Magic with caution, although the casting looks good and the reviews I've read seem positive.
Here's the trailer:
