Reply to comment by BenefitPale in Someone explain me why LOTR movies are so highly regarded by BenefitPale

It did for the first four. The last ones would be pretty shit without the rest of the movies backing them.

But yeah, it's not like, say, the Mission Impossible franchise, where any one film stands alone.

Hmm i kind of disagree. I think 6th and 7th were pretty uneventful and dragging out of the series at least 6th had dumbledore's death. I loved 5th and 8th though. 8th one is just culmination of everything and a roller coaster ride. Right from the get go you're in it and it never slows down. I just love it so much.

I might be getting them mixed up and meant up to five...I have only watched them through once. Yeah, it's a culmination, which is good, but also means it doesn't stand alone well. Kind of like the Infinity War/Endgame movies. And that is more than okay, as long as it accepts that is what it is.
