The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) - They saved the best for last

 

Movieshared.net - Obviously, I'm aware of the fact that the Lord of the Rings trilogy is actually one giant movie, but since it was released in parts, that's how I'm judging them. The Return Of The King is the final chapter, and since it is the climax and resolution of the epic journey, it has a little more intensity and urgency than the previous installments.

At this point everyone has come to know and love all of the characters, and the stakes have become tremendously high. Kingdoms are at their knees, and the only two characters who can save the day are getting weaker and weaker. The tension was very high in this episode and I can honestly say that out of all 3 this was the only one that had me on the edge of my seat. There were many memorable scenes (one of my favourites including the part with the giant spider)that made this the classic that it is sure to stay for decades to come.

This is the longest of the series, mostly because of the ending that seems to last a while. This was a good ending, and I can see why Frodo did what he did. He, and us the audience, have gone through an incredible ordeal and I think we needed that 20 minute linger. When the battle is over, and the celebrations have ended, there is a sad emptiness felt. The films spanned over 3 years, there have been the extended cuts of course, but after that, it's all over. Peter Jackson gave us an ending that was both appropriate and admirable.

These were some amazing movies and this one in particular is the best, in my opinion. As whole, the Lord Of The Rings is a phenomenon. An absolute phenomenon. Much more than just movies. They have a universal appeal and have touched the hearts and imaginations of millions. I'm one of them.

Sorry if I'm being all fanboyish and kissing this movie's ass, but I really admire it. It may not be among my personal favourites but generally this seems to be the movie event of the century. There will never be another Lord of the Rings film, and that's a bit depressing

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) - The Greatest of the Three Rings

 

Movieshared.net - Peter Jackson truly outdid himself when creating the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and he fails to disappoint us in the 2nd part of the Trilogy. The Two Towers shows us that he is not a one-hit wonder, like so many directors are. I actually think that The Two Towers reaches the same level as the Fellowship of the Ring, and sometimes even surpasses it.

This film is the biggest film in the trilogy. What do I mean by that? Well this film has so many things going like the amazing Battle of Helms Deep. Frodo and Sam journey to Mount Doom, to destroy the Ring. But the one who's leading them through the way is Gollum, he looks so creepy and realistic, that he doesn't feel disconnected from us. A powerful performance by Andy Serkis as Gollum, he should of been nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

The Best part of the film, is quite easily and everyone knows it the ending. The ending of the battle of Helm's Deep is quite breathtaking, and as Gandalf the White comes in the distance with another army to defeat the Orcs. When Treebeard and his army of Entz tear down Isengard, the destruction and the battle is so immense in size, that you truly have to see to believe.

In size and scale, Peter Jackson has truly redefined the word "epic" and he also pays attention to the small things that truly elevate this movie from great to amazing. I definitely recommend this film to everyone, but you really should watch the first movie to truly understand what's going on.

Watch The Hobbit Trilogy - Video HD Quality

 The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

I was a mere child when I watched LOTR franchise and I still liked it. Ever since, year by year, I grew fonder and fonder of the movies and they remain, and probably forever will, one of my favorite movies of all time. I've read all the books countless times (including Hobit) and when I saw that Hobbit was coming into the cinema, my mind was entirely wiped away from its existence due to excitement that entered me. 

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013)

Even though I formally thought "An Unexpected Journey" was a bit chipped off by quality from the original "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, due to its certain lack of seriousness the former Jackson Middle-Earth films had, I wasn't really disappointed by it. It was a different, more softer storyline, and under it had to have a different directorial approach. Going to see the second one, I had my worries if it's going to be on a dose less of action and excitement and more centered on the characters, which I always kind of felt myself, was a mistake for a purely adventure film, a road that many movies have taken on in sequels. Fortunately, it was nothing of a sort. "Desolation" gives a stronger adventure and enjoyment than the original Hobbit movie. Faster pace, beautiful sets, lovely score, costumes and most impressive CGI than ever before, with the comeback of one of the most beloved character of the original series, Legolas, will surely win over the audiences both fans of Tolkien's book and not, over the globe again this Christmas season. If anything, I'll definitely go catch it again. Thumbs up!

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

It is without question The Hobbit did not need to be made into a three part film series... After all, given the book size of the Hobbit Compared to The Lord of the Rings... The Hobbit Should have been workable into one extended Movie or two at the most. If Jackson would have sun the story of The Lord of the Rings like he did the Hobbit, We would still be waiting for the last two movies in his twelve part series...

So with that off my chest..

This still is a TRUE CLASSIC FILM to be placed in the same titles as The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. The Cinematography was excellent. The special effects pretty much flawless and acting excellent. The Story was intriguing if not a bit over-told with characters and plots a bit beyond the book. However, even these over embellishings are happily accepted. In fact, now that the series is over, I wish Jackson would have made a longer Lord of the Rings. Is simply can not get enough.. It is over! Soon to be delegated to Blue Ray, then sweep to the DVD bin at WalMart along with the rest of our favorites. Enjoy the series now... It will be a long time before you see another classic like Tolkien on the Big Screen.

The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey to The Battle of the Five Armies

The Battle of the Five Armies 
Presently I for one delighted in the initial two hobbit portions as much as every motion picture of the Lord of the Rings set of three, however without a sad remnant of an uncertainty the first set of three is far better (most likely due than the truth the book it is focused around, is far stronger) regardless I discover each of them unbelievable movies and after the shocking and agonizing precipice  clothes rod of the Desolation Of Smaug, I was very reckoning the third closing part: The Battle of the Five Armies.

The Battle of the Five Armies spurns the convention of prologs that would regularly backtrack in time from the fundamental account and rather pushes us into the activity, sending us with a whirlwind of energy into Smaug's assault on Laketown, it is genuinely a scene to watch, developing the anticipation and afterward being the ideal beat dashing develop and is one of the champion set bits of the year as we at last see Smaug the frightful lay wake to the town, and as the title card shows up over the destroyed Erebor, the film keeps on being a definitive farewell to Middle Earth, high on vitality, zooming through scenes dangerously fast until the credits roll.

In an endeavor not to uncover any spoilers about the film, I won't dig into any longer of the plot occasions, doubtlessly this motion picture has innumerable scenes that Jackson is known for. He breathtakingly strings together the best components of his Middle Earth movies into one bundle. Stunning characters with splendid exhibitions, champion and delightful settings and configuration of Middle Earth, an excellent epic yet enthusiastic soundtrack and obviously: extraordinary activity set pieces to make one visual gem. Jackson who has had two movies worth of develop truly tests the characters as far as possible. Thorin has more to do than at any time in the past and Armitage fills the role consummately, not to overlook Martin Freeman, who has a shocking enthusiastic minute which had the crowd rambling with tears. Whilst the past cast all satisfy their parts marvelously, Evangeline Lilly and Aidan Turner both proceed with this marginally antique sentimental subplot yet one that is given much more weight in this film and truly helps the plot this time and does not feel attached which did appear to happen with Desolation of Smaug.

The activity too is the best of the entire center earth adventure, the skirmish of the Five armed forces feels like Jackson took a gander at Minas Tirith, saw everything that worked and chose to turn it up a score. Brimming with epic minutes, marvelous battles, goliath armed forces conflicting and the last confrontation with the hotly anticipated Thorin versus Azog does everything right with splendid exhibitions all around and the best one on one activity scene in the arrangement in the middle of Legolas and Bolg is an unadulterated pleasure to watch.

The film for me encapsulated what I cherished about: The master of the rings. Whilst the activity is magnificent and the best of the arrangement, its the enthusiastic tone that closures the most recent ten minutes that makes The Battle of the Five armed forces such a splendid farewell as it is the end to the Hobbit story, whilst as of now being a set up for the Lord of the rings and being one final goodbye to the arrangement that has touched such a large number of viewers over the globe as Billy Boyd closes the arrangement with a nostalgic note with his melody.

My just few dissentions is that much like in the Desolation of Smaug, the forlorn mountain subject from An Unexpected trip does not show up, rather the 'place of durin topic' is by all accounts the most noticeable, however I have comprehended it could be a copyright issue which all things considered would not benefit from outside intervention. Additionally however the film passed by in an obscure, I wish it could of been longer, the majority of the diminutive people don't get as much screen time as they ought to of and the closure feels like such a blaze yet maybe, to the point that may be on account of I was edgy not to leave Jackson's center earth vision for the last time, there was a great deal of inquiries that were left unanswered as a matter of fact and it does feel like they took the peak of the second motion picture, when the Hobbit was just two movies and afterward broadened it the length of they could without exceeding their welcome, yet these are all exceptionally minor issue in what is a heavenly experience to see on the silver screen.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies is a definitive send off for the Middle Earth adventure. In a set of three where the nature of movies has improved, the Hobbit which effectively could of been a supplement to the Lord of the rings, feels like a noteworthy a large portion of the Middle Earth adventure. It's packed with nolstagia, particularly when Shore reuses some fantastic topics. There's some minor problem however I honestly couldn't care less, this is Middle Earth at its finest and it ticked all the containers of what I needed to see and what I needed it to do. It was a candidly capable, scene filled closure of the best dream realistic arrangement ever.
