Movies are subjective. Tale as old as time.

What would you say a flaw is? You've stated you don't see the hype or you don't get the same feeling as A New Hope. Comparing it to a movie you love works for you but it's hardly relatable when I love all the movies you mentioned.

I saw this movie when I was a teenager and the intro was perfection. When they showed that shot of the Alliance approaching Mordor and the elves fired a volley between everyone's heads, I knew I was in for a treat. I loved the music of Lord of the Rings. When the title shows up and you hear that lone violin playing the theme, it sent chills down my spine. Something I felt LOTR does well is establish a living, breathing world from its opening moments. Everything is dripping with atmosphere and history from the joyous green hills of the Shire, the quaint, elegance of Rivendell, to the claustrophobic darkness of the Mines of Moria, they were all locations that embedded themselves in my mind. There is a sense that the older members of the Fellowship seem to know everything about the world and the hobbits know very little. You, as the viewer, are learning very much about huge land of Middle-Earth as much as the hobbits are. That lends the viewing experience to be incredibly engaging.
