Very rich story

Rating: 10/10 (22 September 2016)

I really enjoyed this film and its sequels. I felt that it had a very rich story line and did a good job on developing backstory on all of the characters, making it easy to become emotionally attached to the story.
Based on a book series, "Lord of the Rings" is a tale of heroic fantasy and romantic ideals that takes place in a fictional world of kings and queens, steel swords, ancient magics and mythical beings/beasts.
Comparing "Lord of the Rings" to "Game of Thrones": both take place in mythical kingdoms and both take you on an emotional roller coaster, however, the way they go about this is completely different. I would say that in "Lord of the Rings" there is less focus on creating multiple intense climaxes or cliff hangers and more focus on creating a rich, alternative world with a few huge climaxes and a very gratifying story line.
Some other titles that I feel are similar in content or context include: "The Chronicals of Narnia", "Harry Potter", "Kingdon of Heaven", "Troy", "Stardust" and "King Arthur".
All in all, "Lord of the Rings" does a very good job of tying up any loos ends and creating a full circle story that is believable. If you like any of the similar movies I have listed then I highly recommend watching this movie series.
