I walked out of the first lord of the rings an hour and a Half in when it was still character building. I mentioned to my gf at the time and she said it'll prob be 3 years before the second part and 6+ for the third. And no, obviously I never read The books.
I hate watching series waiting a week between cliffhangers... Couldn't care less to wait years.. Still haven't caught up.
They came out in 2001, 2002, and 2003 which was a cinematic triumph at the time because he secured funding and filming rights to film all three movies at the same time.
Oh... Well still wasn't in the mood to wait. I'm not a fantasy fan tbh.
Has to be said though. Knocking out 9+ hours of movies over 3 years is a pretty incredible feat.
Everyone has preferences, but you've done yourself a disservice not going back and finishing. OP's right calling them a cinematic triumph.
@invisiblegorilla they filmed all three at the same time, they had multiple second unit directors.
That's why the actors don't age between movies, there's a seamless progression.
Lord of the Rings?! Some of the answers in this thread really make me sad lol.
Yeah I totally expected this opinion to be against the grain.
I get it not being your cup of tea, I just don't really know why you walked in in the first place. That series was exactly as advertised.
