My middle school was small enough that for each of the LOTR movies they took the whole school for a field trip 🥹 so cute to see it with everyone I knew
i‘ve had a late 20’s lotr awakening.
watched all of the movies last year for the first time and DAMN do they hold up. special effects still dazzle, good balance of humor, viggo mortensen looking the sexiest a human has ever looked on screen. read the first book slowly over several months while reading other books alongside it. the songs can be a bit much but it mostly slapped. i was surprised by how much it moved me. finally finished and sprang for the uncut version the next day. simply an excellent use of time!!!!! will never forgive them for omitting tom bombadil and goldberry tho.
I havent actually seen the movies,, and I really really want to i’m sure i’d love them. I thought it'd be fun to read the books first tho. I’m about 2/3 of the way through and ive been reading it for a couple months now. Its taking me a while, which I expected, but i’m really enjoying it!! has anyone else read the books before watching the movies? If so, did you read all three books then watch all three movies or watch book 1 then movie 1 and etc. at what point did you read/ watch the hobbit?
that guy can really do every character they didn’t even need to make a movie I don’t think personally. ive been falling asleep to this and then waking up and starting the chapter over because I missed everything
