So, you read the book in English... that's commendable. I can't boast such knowledge of English. :smile39:
In vain... The original is always easier to understand... :smile20: I'm mostly a Tolkien-movie fan... :smile20: :smile12: Although I also enjoy reading... :D ;)

Эй, ты, простой смертный, хошь стать Хранителем Силы?))) :smile49: Ты уверен, что знаешь, в чем Сила?

The Lord of the Rings is always the best! I especially love the movie. Unfortunately, I haven't managed to finish the book, it's too long(( But I did read The Hobbit)).
You're judging The Lord of the Rings without reading the book?))) Hmm))) I've lost count of how many times I've reread the entire trilogy, and I've watched the movies many times, but the book is the most important. I really like this work, but I can't call it the best because I haven't read other books in this genre... Although, of course, Tolkien is probably the most famous.

both the film and the book seem quite boring to me. that is, it's exactly Tolkien's style. I don't understand why he constantly burdens the narrative with uninteresting, unnecessary, and tedious details?
However, I have reread the books several times, and there is something in them, perhaps the atmosphere? Or maybe it's the font in my book, which is made "in the old style"? I read it, of course, episodically, that is, I skip all the boring parts. Sometimes I don't. But mostly...
The film is depressing; I watched it more than once, only in the Goblin translation. In total - twice. Still, there is not much to understand if you don't know the plot. All that remains is to admire the battles.

Regarding the movie: it has a disturbingly minimalist approach. Anduin is portrayed as a great river, comparable to the rivers of Middle-earth, but the Melekezka (a tributary of the Kama River, which in turn flows into the Volga) is actually wider! And what kind of country is Gondor if you can see almost all of Osgiliath from Minas Tirith, even though it's only about a half-hour's journey away? I express concern, bordering on bewilderment! However, it's still enjoyable to watch and admire the battles! Although, I personally preferred the Goblin translation! Now, about the book: I have nothing bad to say about it; it's all excellent. The only thing that bothered me was the Silmarillion. That's all.

Regarding the film, it's characterized by stark minimalism. Anduin is portrayed as a great river, but the Melekezka (for those unfamiliar, it's a tributary of the Kama, which in turn is a tributary of the Volga) is actually wider! And what kind of country is Gondor if Minas Tirith offers a view of almost the entire Osgiliath, even though it's located approximately half an hour away?
This isn't really that important. The main point is that the film accurately reflects the essence of the book – and that's what matters. Although, of course, there are some parts that didn't make it into the film – for example, it's a shame that there wasn't room for the episode about Tom Bombadil...
But compare it, for example, to Lukyanenko's "Night Watch" – now there's a case of the opposite problem.
"Excessive detail" ruins the reputation of the original story, in my opinion. It's no wonder that all the films in the saga have won numerous Oscars! (I - 7, II - 4, III - 11(!), if I'm not mistaken), and you're talking about "minimalism."

I can't understand how someone who has read the books and is also a fantasy fan can say that! The books are read in one breath – one part of the trilogy in one night, or even one and a half! You probably haven't read any truly boring books – just ask, and I'll recommend some for comparison

I love The Lord of the Rings; there have never been and never will be better works! In the movie, it's a little different, but overall :smile54:

Ракета прущего дыма и море свободы
Серьезные помыслы, прущие скорости, мама с вопросами:
- Куда ты дел совесть? Стань взрослым.
Я в ответ молчал виновато
- Посмотри на брата, разве трудно быть нормальным?
Им не понять меня, не поменять меня
Хотели поломать меня - им не поймать меня
В чем моя вина?
Думал бежать отсюда, хлопал дверями злобно -
Обида-паскуда
Мама била посуду и тихо плакала
Молилась за меня Богу - свечи ставила

I can't understand how someone who has read books, and is even a fantasy fan, could say something like that!
a fantasy fan

It's quite presumptuous to label him as a fantasy fan, isn't it? Especially considering the "fantasy vs. sci-fi" topic and the numerous posts within it, which are right next to it.

Nah, everything matches up, they just shortened it a lot. I managed to read the book in about 2 months, the complete collection in one volume (I only read it when I had nothing else to do, about 4 times a week).

I read the first one in a week, but I was too lazy to finish the second and third...

For those who enjoy Tolkien, I recommend reading "The Silmarillion," which describes the history of Middle-earth from its creation to the rise of the one who rules all... Sauron wasn't always the Lord of Darkness... for a long time, Beleriand was the capital of the Elven kingdom... Morgoth sat on a dark throne, and the Silmarils shone on his crown...

Think whatever you want, but it seems to me that it turned out even better than the first Lord...
