Epic high-fantasy tale for everyone!

Rating: 10/10 (18 August 2017)

I, myself, spent my early childhood years watching Star Wars, thus I have and will always have a fondness for science-fiction. Then, throughout my formative years came the age of personal computers, internet and video games. This is were I first came across the fantasy world of the middle ages folklore. By that time I was already hooked, then came the epic high-fantasy trilogy, which is "The Lord of the Rings" that completely shook me off my feet. Thought still at an young age, I was drawn by the beautiful backgrounds, long shots, the Sam-Frodo close-ups and of course, the unforgettable original score. A score which I hold as one of the best, if not the greatest, pieces of music ever made to suit such an extraordinaire trilogy. Then I started watching it year by year as I grew up, never once skipping a scene or speeding it up. Nowadays, every time I hear the theme song, my arm hair immediately rises up and I get goosebumps all over, together with the desire to watch it again as soon as possible.
I have seen many movies in my life time, I embrace most of them and never regret seeing any of the others, but when it comes to "The Lord of the Rings" series, I will always talk about it superlatively, with the first entry "The Fellowship of the Ring" at it's helm. Kids and adults alike, do not stray away from this one!
