LOTR is great. It’s pretty much the template of every single fantasy story written since the 20th century.
The Peter Jackson films are probably the best adaptation of any novel ever made, but with as long as they are, they’re TikTok videos compared to the books in the universe. Know that if you ever read any of them (the Hobbit is a great and short start btw), those fantasy tropes you see are coming straight from the source. Those greedy dwarves obsessed with gold were invented by Tolkien’s creative (and somewhat antisemitic) brain.
…btw, I assume you’re referring to the original Peter Jackson films. Saying that you don’t like the Hobbit film trilogy is not an unpopular opinion at all. In that case, I think the films were longer than the book lol
Lord of the rings or the Hobbit? The LOTR books are a slow burn, but the Hobbit is a much easier read. The first one I read was the Hobbit and I don’t think I’d have gotten into the trilogy without it.

I listened to the first one as a 30 hour audio book, it was so boring and i always hoped smth would come but nothing, just boring
What about Tom Bombadil? He’s the greatest thing since sliced bread friend…
Was that the guy with the beard?
Do you have any idea how little that narrows this down?
Idk, im not that smart

Lotr the fellowship of the ring
Enjoy.
Is that the whole book? Thank you, maybe ill give it a shot
I mean the first one is boring, but it had to be to set everything up for the second two, which are much more exciting
