"One Review to rule them all. One Review to comment them, One Review to like them all, and in nerdiness bind them."
In the ancient times of Middle Earth, a magical ring was once forged by the necromancer Sauron to seize control over the entire world. When his plans were discovered, all the kingdoms and races of the realm allied together for one final stand. The cost was high, but the battle was won; and with the invincible dark lord defeated, the nations rejoiced, evil was destroyed. For millennia, the peoples of Middle Earth have enjoyed peace and prosperity; but the ring was never destroyed, and when it is finally found, evil starts slowly corrupting everything and everyone around it. Its undying will recalling for his long lost master, and his dormant hordes. It’s only a matter of time now, before evil resurfaces, and once again, consumes the world.
Why do I even bother? Has anyone at all not read it or watched it? And if so, what on earth are you waiting for? This is like the holy grail of Fantasy. Just get on with it already, you won’t regret it, I promise; book, movie, either one is good. An all-time classic that revolutionized the genre, and forever changed fantasy as we know it. The world Tolkien created, its characters, its boundless lore, spanning untold adaptations, and inspiring countless imitations.
How to ever forget the adventures of the Fellowship of the Ring: Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Gandalf, Aragorn, Boromir, Gimli, Legolas; and the incredible supporting characters, too many to count and pointless to enumerate. Don’t even get me started on the enemies. So many unbelievably awe-inspiring locations, the Shire, the Mines of Moria, Mordor, Rivendell, Isengard, Lothlórien, I could go on too. (view spoiler) A fantastic journey like no other ever; with excellently defined characters, flawless world building. completely enthralling story progression, unpredictable plot twists, and a soul shattering ending.
I remember being royally pissed with Tolkien’s never ending landscaping though. Describing pastures, rock clusters, weather, line of sight, whatnot. And of course, it is a fantasy world, you need to create it from the ground up; but GOD! I lost it when he started describing cloud formations. I mean they are freaking clouds man! Wind is going to blow them all away in minutes! And I hate that I suffered it every time through all the books in the series. Today I would’ve skimmed the hell out of those parts, without a seconds pause; but in those days I never did, and suffered every word.
Still, regardless of a few objections, like the pacing. an unmatched masterpiece in almost every way, and a cornerstone in Fantasy literature. Tolkien did not invent orcs, or elves, but he might as well have; because the legacy he left, marked a before and after, thanks to his priceless contribution. A must read, or a must watch. Having done both, I strongly support either choice. Highly Recommendable.
*** LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring (2001) is a spectacular adaptation, bringing the immortal work of Tolkien alive in a way few movies in history have ever succeed, and I dare say possibly surpass it. Mind numbingly stunning on so many levels; the casting, screenplay, cinematography, music score, special effects, and more. Truly deserving of every accolade received. Magnificent casting; McKellen, Mortensen, Elijah, Astin, Weaving, Blanchett, Bean... the list goes on. Flawless acting by all, wouldn’t change a single one. Exceptionally faithful to the book. Some parts were omitted of course, and a few licenses taken here and there, but it doesn’t really matter, not in this case imo. A near perfect book AND series adaptation, maybe one the best I’ve ever seen, considering it was the same with all three movies of the trilogy. And one of those unique exceptions where I ultimately prefer the movie rather than the book, having watched it at least a few dozen times. (9/10)

"Una Reseña para gobernarlas a todas. Un Reseña para comentarlas. Una Reseña para likearlas, y en la nerdidad atarlas."
En los antiguos tiempos de la Tierra Media, una vez un anillo mágico fue forjado por el nigromante Sauron para tomar control sobre todo el mundo. Cuando sus planes fueron descubiertos, todas las naciones y razas del reino se aliaron para juntos dar una última batalla final. El costo fue alto, pero ganaron la guerra; y con el invencible señor de la oscuridad derrotado, las naciones se regocijaron, la maldad por fin vencida. Por milenios, las gentes de la Tierra Media disfrutaron de paz y prosperidad; pero el anillo único nunca fue destruido, y cuando finalmente es reencontrado, so maldad empieza lentamente a corromper todo y a todos a su alrededor. Su voluntad inquebrantable llamando por su amo perdido, y sus hordas durmientes. Es sólo cuestión de tiempo ya, para que la maldad vuelva a resurgir, y consuma todo el mundo, otra vez.
¿Para qué me molesto? ¿Hay alguien acaso que no lo haya leído o visto ya? Y si es así, pero por dios, ¿qué estás esperando? Esto es como el santo grial de la Fantasía. Sólo hacelo de una buena vez y terminala, no te vas a arrepentir, te lo prometo; libro, película, cualquiera es bueno. Un clásico de todos los tiempos que revolucionó el género, y por siempre cambió la fantasía como la conocemos. El mundo que Tolkien creó, sus personajes, su infinito lore, dando lugar a incontables adaptaciones, e inspirando infinitas imitaciones.
¿Cómo alguna vez olvidar las aventuras de la Comunidad del Anillo? Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Gandalf, Aragorn, Boromir, Gimli, Legolas; y los increíbles personajes de apoyo, demasiados para contar e inútil enumerar. Ni siquiera quiero empezar con los enemigos. Tantos increíblemente asombrosos lugares, la Comarca, las Minas de Moria, Mordor, Rivendell, Isengard, Lothlórien, podría seguir también. (view spoiler) Un fantástico viaje como ningún otro jamás; con perfectamente definidos personajes, impecable construcción de mundo, completamente cautivadora progresión de historia, impredecibles giros de trama, y un final para romper el alma.
Aunque recuerdo haber estado enormemente fastidiado con el interminable paisajismo de Tolkien. Describiendo pasturas, formaciones de roca, clima, línea de visión, qué no. Y por supuesto, es un mundo de fantasía, y se necesita crear todo desde cero; ¡pero POR DIOS! Perdí la cabeza cuando empezó a describir las nubes. ¡O sea son malditas nubes hombre! ¡El viento las va a volar todas en minutos! Y odié que sufrí eso en cada oportunidad durante los tres libros de la serie. Hoy en día me hubiera salteado esas partes con entusiasmo, sin un segundo de duda; pero en ese entonces nunca lo hacía, y sufrí cada palabra.
Aun así, a pesar de algunas objeciones, como el ritmo, una inigualable obra maestra en casi cualquier sentido, y un hito de la literatura Fantástica. Tolkien no creó los orcos, ni los elfos, pero da igual si lo hubiera hecho; porque el legado que dejó, marcó un antes y después, gracias a su invaluable contribución. Un deber de leer, o un deber de ver. Habiendo hecho ambas, puedo firmemente apoyar cualquiera de las dos.
*** LOTR: La Comunidad del Anillo (2001) es una espectacular adaptación, trayendo la inmortal obra de Tolkien a la vida en una forma que pocas películas en la historia jamás lograron, e incluso me animo a decir que tal superó. Increíblemente Impresionante a tantos niveles; el elenco, guion, cinematografía, música, efectos especiales, y más. Verdaderamente merecedora de todos los premios recibidos. Magnífico elenco; McKellen, Mortensen, Elijah, Astin, Weaving, Blanchett, Bean... la lista sigue. Impecable actuación de todos, no cambiaría a ninguno. Excepcionalmente fiel al libro. Algunas partes fueron omitidas por supuesto, y ciertas licencias tomadas aquí y allá, pero en verdad no importa, no en este caso en mi honesta opinión. Una adaptación casi perfecta del libro Y serie, tal vez una de las mejores que vi jamás, considerando que fue lo mismo con las tres películas de la trilogía. Y una de escasas excepciones en que en última instancia prefiero la película sobre el libro, habiéndola visto al menos un par de docenas de veces. (9/10)

Love this series. I was completely smitten by the world Tolkien created. Happy to hear you had a good time with it too. Great review Federico ☺

Vanitha wrote: "That first line ,Federico! Excellent review :)"I LOVE slightly altering famous quotes lol. Thank you Vanitha :) !!
A beautiful review Fedo! You have quite a way with words 👏 I’ve only seen the movies but as usual the book is probably better!
Tina wrote: "A beautiful review Fedo! You have quite a way with words 👏 I’ve only seen the movies but as usual the book is probably better!"Thank you Tina <3 ! Might depend who you ask. Personally I love the movies more; the books may have more detail sure, but the movies were so perfectly made, doubt the books would add much else.
I guess this is my sign to dust off my copies and get to reading. I’ve never really watched the movies either 👀. Awesome review, as always!
Carrot :3 (on a hiatus) wrote: "I guess this is my sign to dust off my copies and get to reading. I’ve never really watched the movies either 👀. Awesome review, as always!"The stars have finally aligned lol. Hope you enjoy them both in time Carrot <3. Thank you!!
Sophy wrote: "Great review Federico, you're definitely on a classics roll at the moment!"LOL. Very true xD. Thank you Sophy !!
I haven't read the series, but I watched the entire film series, and you're right. Not a single regret was felt. Precious review, Federico! :)
Shey wrote: "I haven't read the series, but I watched the entire film series, and you're right. Not a single regret was felt. Precious review, Federico! :)"Glad to hear you enjoyed the movies! They are just as good as the books, if not better; so if you ever feel like reading them go ahead, but I think with the films you are more than good :) ! Thank you so much my precious, Shey!
Magical review, Federico! I’m currently reading The Hobbit and I agree with you that the series is really great!
Nora wrote: "Magical review, Federico! I’m currently reading The Hobbit and I agree with you that the series is really great!"Thank you Nora! Oh yeah The Hobbit is great too! Glad to hear you are enjoying it :) . Not so crazy about the movies though, but will rant about that in due time in a few days when I review it lol.
Karen wrote: "This review is perfection. 🙂 Glad you loved it Federico!"Thank you so much Karen! Glad to see you enjoyed it too :) !
Your quote at the top LOL. That’s hilarious.“ The holy grail of Fantasy” is actually a great way to describe this story. Good review, Federico.
Thibault wrote: "Your quote at the top LOL. That’s hilarious.“ The holy grail of Fantasy” is actually a great way to describe this story. Good review, Federico."
Thank you Thibault! Tolkien truly inspired me xD. Now just hoping I'm not inadvertently releasing something terrible into the world just by writing it lol.
Great review! I agree that Tolkien tested my patience a LOT, he does love harping on about the most mundane of details… I need to reread the series soon and see if my patience has increased or diminished haha. Also, yes, the film adaptation was really nothing short of spectacular!!
You asked a question I am bound to answer. I'm yet to read or watch the series. Have been waiting for him to finish the last book so that I can start, lol. ;) Fab review, Federico.
Fantastic review, Federico! I'll admit, I found it very hard to follow the book and gave up. I agree, It sure is the Holy Grail of Fantasy books! I loved all the movies and even visited all the places it was shot in New Zealand. It is surreal.

He does tend to lose focus quite often. Hope you have better luck with the rerun! As much as I overall enjoyed reading it the first time, I would never venture a second. Not while having the movies that never annoyed me for one second lol.

Should be any minute now. I hear GRR Martin is also very close to finishing his last book lol. Whenever you feel ready really, just know it's EPIC. Thank you Srivalli!

And regarding the books I wouldn't worry, the movies were just as good, and even more enjoyable imho.
Excellent review, Federico! You were right on with your praise and dislikes about this story. I have seen the movies several times but have yet to read the books. If they are like you say then it will be my feelings as well.
Joe wrote: "Excellent review, Federico! You were right on with your praise and dislikes about this story. I have seen the movies several times but have yet to read the books.

I love the books and movies, both complete masterpieces, and I know well the irresistible desire of reading the books of our most cherished movies, but honestly the films were so perfectly made doubt the books would add much, or that you'd enjoy them more.
I loved seeing this in my feed! Awesome review, Federico! (And, yes, I've been in love with Tolkien since forever - these books made me fall in love with fantasy.)
Excellent review, Fed. I am surprised that you were able to handle all of the Elven poetry, that almost did me in.
Rena wrote: "Un Anillo para gobernarlos a todos! Buena reseña"Anillo malvado! Malo! jaja Gracias Rena :) !
Alexandra wrote: "I loved seeing this in my feed! Awesome review, Federico! (And, yes, I've been in love with Tolkien since forever - these books made me fall in love with fantasy.)"Thank you Alexandra! So happy to hear Tolkien made fantasy happen for you <3<3<3
Daniel wrote: "Excellent review, Fed. I am surprised that you were able to handle all of the Elven poetry, that almost did me in."Thank you Daniel! Oh I had forgotten about that. Maybe that's one of the reasons I deducted that star so long ago, and why I don't want to reread it again lol xD
Mai wrote: "Classic! Now I want to reread"If any classic is worth it, I suppose this has to be one of them.
Excellent review, Federico! I am completely in sync with your opinion. The endless descriptions were a turnoff, and the movie is mindblowing. I own the Extended edition and have watched the trilogy multiple times without any boredom. For the book, once was enough. :D
Beautiful review! I had, for some terrible reason forgotten about the magic that this book is, and you reminded me of that with just a few words.
Rosh wrote: "Excellent review, Federico! I am completely in sync with your opinion. The endless descriptions were a turnoff, and the movie is mindblowing.

I watched them on TV so many times I think I know them by heart now lol. So glad you loved them too <3
Halcyon wrote: "Beautiful review! I had, for some terrible reason forgotten about the magic that this book is, and you reminded me of that with just a few words."Thank you Halcyon!! Tbh I think most of my cheerful memories of this trilogy comes from the films lol. They are both masterpiece in their very unique way and I love them both, but I can't bring myself to reread these again, I'd prefer to watch the movies one hundred times over <3
I’m one of the very sheltered few who have never read the book, or watched the movies 😬 I’m so behind on many things in life- but in my defense, I never had time for even the simplest things in life before. Now, I’m trying to make up for lost time, and I don’t think I’ll ever catch up. Hopefully I’ll get to this magnificent book and movie one day soon! Fantastic review, Federico!! :)

It's terrible how work, family, friends and life always gets in the way of our most beloved thing in the world, ice cream, I mean books! Lol. But seriously if you want to take the easy way out with the movies you are good ;)
