It really is amazing how bad the Hobbit movies are.

have you seen that hobbit only cut that only includes material in the actual book (still four hours). Some of the transitions make it apparent that scenes are missing, but it works so much better. It's a movie where the component parts all work pretty well but the overall bloat drags it down. The LOTR movies are long, but they rarely feel like they are dragging, and that's just not the case here

Here comes details of your LOTR tv series on amazon
I think this is going to need its own thread - the latest article I saw said Amazon is committed to 5 seasons with a focus on a young Aragorn. I’d start the thread, but it needs to be Dime.

You take this one. I really can’t commit and not sure how invested I am or will be in this.

I'd watch the Young Aragorn Adventures. I hope Peter Jackson isn't within a million miles of this....he had his turn it should be someone else now.

Intriguing. And it seems LOTR is getting a 4K release and in cinemas.

Funny. Let’s hope they’d really have. This series is going off the map playing in a very established and detailed world

It really should be Aragorns travels as a ranger. Tons of stuff happened there. But there’s probably going to be other fabricated for the series elements involved and that stuff is where it gets onto shakey territory

It’s been 15 years since return of the king. This is brilliant. And will give you the feels and the chills.
