I missed these movies during their original theatrical run, and after years of being incredulously asked, "What?! You haven't seen the Lord of the Rings movies?! This crime must not be tolerated!!!!", I finally got to the business of watching them all. I liked them well enough, but didn't really love any of them. Mostly, I found myself thinking "I guess this is what people who didn't grow up with Star Wars when they watch those movies." There's a limit to the amount of epic CGI battles I can deal with (some of the effects have dated a bit, it must be admitted), and something about most of the characters seems a bit, um, stiff, I guess? Hope I didn't poop all over anyone's childhood memories, and like I said, they're not bad movies by any stretch, but I just wasn't blown away by any of them.
I can say that these LOTR movies aren't as interesting as they used to be to me anymore. Still good movies.
