'Cosy and comforting': LOTR as a feelgood movie Can't Post

From The Guardian: ‘Cosy and comforting’: why The Fellowship of the Ring is my feelgood movie
Can't say I disagree with the writer's thoughts on this!

That is so well-written. [In reply to] Can't Post

Even the bit about her warring parents was delightful. Laugh

I too think that FOTR is the strongest of the three films: it has a tight story with all the protagonists together and feels the most grounded, whereas the TTT's story is a little bitsy and ROTK goes a little overboard with some of the visuals.

But as a trilogy, it's (overall) my favourite movie of all time.

Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."

"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

Agree on all counts! [In reply to] Can't Post

I enjoyed reading through the comments too, most of whom backed up the column, although there are a few nitpickers who are bemoaning no Tom Bombadil.
