Thank God Peter Jackson & his love triangle did this and The Hobbit.
They filmed things in the best way and used the incredible beauty of New Zealand as the source of many fine locations of "Middle Earth".
To have someone love the literature and create movies with a very high degree of fealty to that is a gift to the author, to readers, and to viewers.

Given the difficulty of adapting such a book, I thought they did a great job. It's far from perfect but it's pretty much how I pictured the books

@JohnnyNoir Thank you.

Watched them in one day…the extended cuts. Of course the books are better, but Peter Jackson did great by them.

@Pinkstarburst Thank you!

Yeah I grew up on the books. The movies are great. Fellowship of the Ring always held the most magic for me though.

@CountScrofula Thank you!

@badminton Thank you.

I thought it was great. I liked the bit of irony in the side plot involving Denethor. It was sad watching Boromir die
ProfessorPlum77 · 70-79, MVIP
@caPnAhab Yes, Bonomir dies at the end of the first movie.

I just rewatched it day before yesterday 10/10. The books are 20/20

@Longpatrol Thank you!
SlaveEt · 36-40, F
Enjoyable and pretty true to the books. Well, as true as film can be to such lengthy and detailed novels.
ProfessorPlum77 · 70-79, MVIP
@SlaveEt Thank you!
tobynshorty · 51-55, F

Loved them. Had not read the books though.
ProfessorPlum77 · 70-79, MVIP
@HellsBelle I spot read the books YEARS ago. I just finished "The Fellowship of the Ring."
Coralmist · 41-45, F
Phenomenal trilogy. The first Fellowship of the Ring is still my favorite 🧙🏻♂
