Why have I never watched this movie before? Oh yeah . . . because I never watched the first two. Which is weird since I own and I've watched both Hobbit movies. I have no answer.
Well I figured I couldn't watch The Return of the King without watching the first two movies of the Trilogy . . . so Hal & I binge watched them all.
These movies are exciting and romantic and violent (but not real graphic violence or I would have had to turn it off) and a story of heroes and evil and the good guy gets to win. What more can you ask for? The scenery was STUNNING. The costumes were incredibly imaginative. I just can't praise this trilogy enough. I'm so sad I never watched it before now.
Stuck inside on a rainy summer day? This may be the answer.
