I love both the Hobbit trilogy and The Lord of the Rings trilogy. All the movies are absolutely stunning and have very little flaws. The one problem i have with the Lord of the Rings trilogy is that most of the action is weighted into the 2nd and 3rd movie making them a lot more appealing and helping you last the four, to four and a half hours. I loved the first movie of the LOTR trilogy but that was the first time i watched it. If you see it once you know how little action there is besides the end. I’m not saying the first movie was useless all im saying is that they're is very little action. This movie was vital for the plot but if they could’ve put in a bigger battle or something it would be much better. Now a days when ever i watch LOTR i just skip the first movie watch this 8 minute youtube video linked below explaining all the important stuff then go on to watch the 2nd and 3rd movie. This concludes rant number 3.
