I am not new to the Lord of the Rings movies; I just wanted to revisit them. It is, however, my first time writing a review about it. I just finished watching the first of the three films (extended edition, of course). I had a lot of fun again, and the story itself is so captivating. Peter Jackson does an excellent job bringing it to life on screen. One part I didn't particularly like was some of the shots during the prologue, where Sauron is depicted as a gigantic figure shoving people away with ease. I can blame my imagination, shaped by reading the book, for that. I always envisioned Sauron as more human-like, possessing the abilities of the Great Deceiver and an evil sorcerer. Ian McKellen's portrayal of Gandalf was the standout for me; he perfectly captures the character's wisdom and gravitas. The music is iconic, and I remember it even before I started rewatching this movie. It’s amazing how some techniques that I didn’t pay much attention to as a kid are more noticea
Spoiler : I haven't seen all the movies that are nominated AND NOW here we go (My prediction/the movie that I would want to win in BOLD). If there is no BOLD, then I am unsure about that category.
