It’s crazy how good those battles look. The CGI was so realistic, 15 years later it still looks better than lots of movies today.

Best trilogy ever, right above the Nolan Batman trilogy

Oh, so you count Star Wars as a series of six. Interesting.

Agreed. I'd put IV V and VI of Star Wars on equal footing with The Nolan Trilogy

I'm a huge fan of fantasy fiction but have never made it through one of those movies without falling asleep

The reason why they look so awesome is because they try to limit the amount of

Why. Just curious. It’s clean, great story, good acting. One of the best

I don’t like almost all fantasy stuff. Just can’t stand it.

Mr. Belding

I thought you were a big Game of Thrones fan?

Fair enough.

It’s unfortunate they strayed from the books in so many places

I thought LOTR did a pretty good job of following the books. I did have some things that bugged me, especially

jdub

Ah one, other one I didn't like was Aragorn wavering on Arwen. That bugged me too.

The books are great, but this scene was one of my favorite all time movie moments.

JohnnyComeLately

Absolutely, it's a fantastic scene.

Just rewatched it in your post....soooooooo good

Seriously, the most epic movie theater experience ever with each of the three

cougarnerd

For some reason this is the most memorable scene to me

Bob Vance

Haha, "I guess that concludes negotiations"

That scene I believe was only in the extended cut and was not shown in theaters.

Too bad though. I would have liked to have heard more taunting from the mouth. Was one of the more

Bob Vance

I’d have liked to have seen them try to include the Tom Bombadil....

CoachSpeak

1/14/19 9:57pm

Yeah, I like Tom Bombadil, but that is such a non sequitur for the story.

Funny how great the LotR was by cutting the fat.

The Tolkien edit of the Hobbit is much better

KingDave

The movies are better than the books IMO

I've just been thinking it's about time to watch them again 🙂

I’ve been reading my kids The Hobbit and they wanted to watch that trilogy.

JohnnyComeLately

That's a great idea to read The Hobbit to the kids. My wife is doing the whole

I finished the Great Brain series with them before starting the Hobbit.

I’d read the Narnia books with them before Harry Potter...

CoachSpeak

Great Brain series is classic

Such a great trilogy. The Hobbit debacle was terrible.

Boanerges

I just finished them too

Just finished Fellowship again...The whole part in the Mines of Moria was just stunning...
