    Do yourself a favor and read the books

    The movies are fine, they are top notch, but the books are from another fuckin world

      After watching the movies, I can’t read the books any more. Tolkien was many things, he’s great at world building and mythology, but storytelling is not among his greatest qualities.

        You’ve got be joking right? The most influential, most loved, most well regarded fantasy trilogy of all time is not a good story actually? I get that it wasn’t your style for whatever reason but to call it bad storytelling is just asinine.
