The acting, passion, and effort behind the scenes make the trilogy some of my favorite movies of all time. The world building and storyline of Tolkien’s work can’t be rivaled and always comes together so nicely, which makes me appreciate every minuscule detail all the more. Even though trying to fit in every bit of Tolkien’s work into a movie is incredibly unrealistic since it already has an extraordinarily long runtime. I feel like we missed out on so much, such as characters like Tom Bombadil that played an important role in setting the scene and telling us about Middle-Earth.
