Also, go watch the Lord of the Rings movies! They're incredible.
seconded! but only the original trilogy. the rest are trash (maybe this only is true for those who love the books idk)
What do you mean by original trilogy? No extended versions?
sorry i was unclear. i mean the original 3 films that have Elijah Wood etc. i recommend the extended edition only because some of the cuts they made for the theater release removed some context that was kinda important to understand what all is going on, unless you already know the story. the Hobbit movies are all terrible in my opinion and i haven't bothered finishing them. but that's because they barely resemble the books at all and are full of characters and situations that shouldn't be in them. i recommend the book if you want to know what it's about, it's a much easier read than the trilogy.
I've heard the maple edit of the hobbit corrects many errors, but haven't had 4+ hours to spend on it yet.
Never read the books, the other ones are boring. Aint watched rings of power too busy settlin' grudges.
Throws red haired murder hobos at schizophrenic rats
I love the books and I still enjoyed Rings of Power. I might be the only person who did though. My wife won't even watch it after trying half an episode. But of course the original trilogy is a masterwork, possibly the best movies ever made.
