The Return of the King is my favourite of the three movies, and one you should consider watching if you haven’t already. The most engaging parts are all of the action scenes, the different battles, but I still believe the best part about Lord of The Rings is the world building and character building. The story and our characters are what keep you engaged for the full 3.5 hours, not the battle scenes.
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is one of the best middle chapters in trilogy history. With it’s intense action and brilliant character moments it only strengthens it’s series. Where this entry may lack in story it makes up for it in the way it progresses characters and the stakes.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is 100% worth a watch. From the plot, to the characters, to setting, everything melds together magically to weave an amazing tale. Even for a movie that was released over 20 years ago, its effects and story still hold up today.
