I just wanted to randomly rave on about how the Lord of the rings movies directed by peter jackson are the best movies I’ve ever seen, and probably ever will see. Anyone feel the same? They didn’t make movies like that before or since then. I have the lotr books but havent read them yet. I did read the Silmarillion though, which was amazing. And the hobbit as a kid, but thats more-so for children that one.
Who holds the lotr movie trilogy close to thier heart here?
I thought “this is going to be really good”. Then they formed “the fellowship of the ring” and it was so boring from that point onwards for me.
But I’m glad you’re passionate about it. I know that feeling for a film as I’m the same with Star Wars.
I envy you for getting to read the LOTR books for the first time. I read them when I was in third grade and they were some of the best books I had ever read.
Due to the many Oscar’s they won it’s not surprising that many people like it.
According to Chris Griffin the Hobbits could have flown on the giant eagles into Mordor and saved 8 hours of my time.
Jk.
I own the trilogy on DVD and I love them.
you read all lord of the rings in grade three? i was considered good reader at that age and wouldn’t have been able to read those.
Yeah, I bought them with my allowance, I still have those original books.
In high school I had an English class that was all Lord of the Rings.
I finished my second reading of The Hobbit (first was in high school)
Now I’m working on my first read of the LOTR trilogy. It is great. Frodo just woke up in Rivendell after being chased by the Black riders! Don’t tell me what happens!
Gandalf turns Frodo into a rabbit.
@Nomad does that mean you haven’t seen the movies? And are reading the book first? Thats so awesome! Deffs watch the movies after you finish the books!!!
I really loved the original 6 movies of star wars! Im not into anything after that really.
@77nick77 thats so cool. I struggled a lot to read as a kid. But love reading as an adult! Your message made me more keen and excited to read the books now.
@Matthias in the case of lotr, i think that the people loving it came before the rewards and fame. But i get ya. It would be insane to not recognise how massive they were in the early 2000’s. The ochestral music by howard shore for the movies was the best ever! I am obsessed with great movie/video game soundtracks.
Pretty sure i saw an actual video recording of Tolkien himself talking about that eagle theory haha. It annoyed him
@GrayBear what do you mean? You learnt english using the lotr books or something?
This post made me question if there have been any new epic movies. I’d say the first and second dune movies are pretty epic. Dune 2 was the first amazing movie I’ve seen in years. There have been some good movies over the past few years but for me dune 2 takes the cake.
These films are great
Have seen them many times over
Perfection
I completely agree. Dune 1 and 2 were my fave movies from the last few years. Its rare for movies to be so perfect and truly grand/epic. I did enjoy furiosa aswell. The mad max fury raod prequel.
Yeah so good!
Ive seen them many times since seeing them at the cinemas as a kid. I woulda been like 8 or 9 or something. 2001 was the release of fellowship of the ring pretty sure.
