  1. When I was a kid epics like Ben-Hur were all the rage. Epics became mini-series with the advent of TV and that watered down most of them. LOTR is, in my opinion, the last true epic cinematic event, and will probably remain the last. The thing is, it is true to the spirit of the book but the content actually varies quite a bit, and it still works because everyone respected Tolkien's intent when he first told the story. Jackson blew it with the Hobbit, which seemed like a money grab, redeemed himself with They Shall Never Grow Old, then got greedy again and f*cked up Get Back when he took Disney's money and turned what should have been a proper reshoot of Let it Be into what Let it Be was, a f*cking snoorfest. Oh well, he gave us the LOTR trilogy and for that he will always get two thumbs up from me.
