The Lord of The Rings is being re-released in theaters this weekend: The Fellowship of The Ring on Friday, The Two Towers Saturday, and The Return of The King Sunday. Naturally, it’s how I’m spending my weekend, having never had the opportunity to see the first two during their initial release.
Two movies down, let me tell you, they hold up and they are so, so very good. There’s so much love and care in them — and a deep understanding of why Tolkien’s novels are so lovely — that you can just feel. Rather than restating the myriad reasons why I love those movies, I’ll just say that they’re great and I can’t wait to watch The Return of The King tomorrow and sob in a cinema.
