Not really, Tolkien work was greatly impactful, he was probably the most influential philologist in the field since Nietzsche's time. But even most of his advocates generally concede that he was a weak and insipid stylist at times. LOTR was all about a man who had all too much war in his life trying to carve out a space for peace, a Christian space.

It's that in part, but also a work of Christian apology, he saw the world around him, the Christian world falling apart and wanted to use a new means to open the hearts and minds of children to Christianity. LOTR is an epic, but also a fundamentally Christian story much like the interpretation of Beowulf that survives to our time.

Kino in an English sense is cinema that is focused on using symbolic imagery (shots frequently set up to look like paintings) over things like dialogue. For example BVS is kino while Civil War is not. The term originally didn't speak so much to the quality of the production but rather the method in which it was made.
pic related was the most kino of the SW movies.
