fellowship of the ring review!! (spoilers)

 

not really a review but just some things that stuck out to me lol

i have tried many times to watch the extended version but by 30 minutes i was losing interest so my husband has finally convinced me to give it another shot but just the original version. i am now invested lol i always enjoy early 2000s fantasy movies because of the practical effects and the camera quality gives it that whimsical nostalgia. 

i will say though, some parts i cannot take seriously, don't come after me pls like the fight between gandalf and saruman and when galadriel turns green. i had a to chuckle a few times, im sorry pfftt. 

it was a great movie besides that!! i loved the characters, i don't know how but i was actually sad that boromir died?? he was kind of an ass when we first met him and he seemed very impulsive. ugh but that one scene of him training with the friends and they tackle him and he's smiling was super cute. don't get me started on pippin. this man was causing trouble everywhere!! like go home pls butt when frodo got stabbed by that giant, he definitely jumped in to avenge him. he gets his points. 

speaking of frodo getting stabbed, i thought he died again!! well not again but nearly. he had no break during this entire journey, that poor man. i was anxious for him. 

my husband was telling me about all the memes that came out of this movie and i vaguely remember in my youth seeing the "one does not..." meme around 2012 or something. i'm watching the scene and im like waiiitttt, something about this seems familiar. such an old meme my goodness. 

gonna start watching the sequel tonight!
