The movie does an amazing job at making each character compelling, developing their individual personalities all while setting up the epic quests that will be taking place throughout the rest of the trilogy. While it doesn't have as much action as the two movies that followed it, The Fellowship of the Ring is still filled with scenes that live rent-free in every fan's head.
It is not only the biggest film from the franchise but one of the best movies of all time according to film fans voting on IMDb. It has a little—to a lot—of everything that audiences crave, with amazing action scenes, brilliant dialogue, and some really emotional goodbye scenes.
The film manages to scale everything up to make the final battles feel more important than what's been seen before, all while keeping the movie grounded with a focus on the core characters throughout. Aragorn faces his destiny as he steps up to become a true leader and Frodo faces his final challenges on his quest to destroy the One Ring.
It was an incredibly difficult task that the production team had, but they managed to wrap things up with the very best of the bunch. Matthew has a major passion for movies and television, enjoying a variety of genres from animation and horror to fantasy and thrillers. By Matthew Wilkinson Updated Jul 17, Share Share Tweet Email 0. And Gandalf fights Sauron … which is also not in the book. It just feels like padding here. Plus, the movie drags on and on and lacks any of the charm or humor found in the book.
In truth, it feels like a crappier version of Lord of the Rings done by somebody else. Is the third and final movie of The Hobbit trilogy necessary? No, not at all. This story concerns Thorin, who now has his gold from the previous movie, holing himself up and hoarding it all for himself, just like Smaug once did. People literally groaned in the theater when the Strider , Aragorn, was alluded to toward the end of the movie.
Thankfully, The Battle of the Five Armies ended up being a lot better. Out of the three Hobbit movies, An Unexpected Journey is the best out of the bunch. The story of this one is also straight and to the point.
Bilbo is requested to go on a journey with some dwarves, and then stuff happens. There are some pacing issues, but one gets the feeling that everybody making this movie knew all along that they were going to stretch the book out like a rubber band. Did I mention I hate that movie? The movie is split up into three stories, just like the book.
Frodo and Sam are on their way to Mordor where they meet up with the treacherous, but pitiful, Gollum. And Merry and Pippin go along with Treebeard to defeat the evil wizard Saruman, played by the late, great Christopher Lee. Honestly, the only thing holding The Two Towers back is its pacing, which is soooo slooow. Especially when it comes to Treebeard the Ent, which talks just as slow as he is supposed to sound in the book.
