A True Cinematic Experience, Every Time.

Rating: 10/10 (2 September 2012)

On a Winter's weekend, when I was Six, my family and I, having not seen a LOTR film before, watched the Trilogy. And yes, it deserves a capital. Then, I watched it for the battles, the epic battles. Now, I watch it for the story, nostalgia and, of course, the battles.
I have watched each of the Trilogy many, many times. I've watched them in the car on an old portable DVD player that only lasted two hours and I've watched them on each of the three TVs my family has owned in the last nine years. I've grown up with the films and the games of the films, the top trumps, and the knock-offs of the films. Nothing can replicate the plot or the spectacle, I know, but something to remind me of them is enough. And I am therefore finally reading the books
Yes, I'm looking forward to the Hobbit trilogy (note, no capital, not yet at least.) but I am always looking back at LOTR.
