I'm a bit sad that Glorfindel didn't make it into the movies too! I haven't seen the animated version of LotR - I tried to watch it on YouTube back in like 2009 and couldn't deal with the crap video quality so I gave up 😂😂

"I was just wondering, how old were you guys when you first saw The FOTR and what was your reaction?" I was 28 years old when FotR came out. I had read the books as a child and formed a deep attachment that continued into adulthood. Having seen earlier attempts to bring this work to our screens, I was cautious about what this latest attempt would look like. Hopeful, but cautious. Didn't get my hopes up and didn't buy into the pre-movie sagas on message boards (pureist vs. revisionist is so inherently reductive as to be utterly absurd). Overall, I was relieved at what I saw. Didn't like everything. But most of all, it didn't make me cringe when I saw it. So, all things considered, I enjoyed it. Probably the best of the movie trilogy, in my opinion. Which is weird, as I wouldn't rate it the best of the published, written trilogy.
