/The Lord of The Ring/

Apr 3, 2014

I know it's an "old" movie but I can't help it. I think I have watched this movie when I was in the primary school. I don't remember it being this cool, thou. I even felt asleep from watching back then.
I. Need. To. Praise. Sir Peter Jackson. For making a masterpiece, and I am sorry because I did fall asleep back then  seriously, I feel so bad for the movie and everyone that dedicating themselves behind it when someone said these are boring, long movies. Well it IS a long movie but thank them for not making it separated into two pieces each just because they want more money from you. Thank them because from almost 4 hours of each movie (I watched the extended edition) they are able to capture everything in the novel so well you almost cry by its epicness.
And I can't believe it is made in 2001. The visual effects are just right, not old, and still cool. Not to mention it's 13 years ago.
I don't think someone my age needs a synopsis for The Lord of The Ring (do you?). But in case, like 2000s kids are reading or something, I googled the first instalation's synopsis for you. Yes, I am a lazy ass.
"Set in the fictional world of Middle-earth, the films follow the hobbit Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) as he and a Fellowship embark on a quest to destroy the One Ring, and thus ensure the destruction of its maker, the Dark Lord Sauron. The Fellowship becomes divided and Frodo continues the quest together with his loyal companion Sam (Sean Astin) and the treacherous Gollum (Andy Serkis). Meanwhile, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), heir in exile to the throne of Gondor, and the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) unite and rally the Free Peoples of Middle-earth in the War of the Ring."
It goes more to Tolkien, and everyone have said it thousands time by now but The Lord of The Ring is amazing. The story, the people in it; men, elves, dwarfs, even the nasty orcs. I don't quite understand about how can a person think about that. I mean, everything about that.
So maybe this is not a review. This is a post dedicated for people in The LOTR, amazing people. Though for me it's all about attitude, and I googled and they said Sir Peter Jackson is good, funny man so yeah I love him. For people who still wonder in doubt ("isn't she overrating it?"), I highly recommend to REWATCH. If the films still stink by then, maybe you just dislike the genre. It's okay, but nah you just miss the best thing in the industry.
Off to The Return of The King then.
