Why the LOTR is the best movie trilogy of all time

  Why the LOTR is the movie trilogy of all time

Ever since the LOTR trilogy hit cinema screens the effect it had and still has will always be monumental to cinema.Although the Dark Knight trilogy comes close nothing beats it, the work of Peter Jackson as director along with a fantastic crew and actors the trilogy is a masterpiece.It seems impossible to think of a single flaw.

Tolkien's great universe is brought to life as iconic characters and settings are portrayed extremely well on camera.The writing and set designs, the CGI, the costumes, prosthetics , makeup and most importantly the bad guys. The whole purpose of a narrative is conflict and without a good villain to cause the conflict and chaos the film will flop. Tolkien's evil character Sauron is seen as one of the best and most iconic movie villains of all time, even though he hardly appears to many people he is a terrifying power over middle earth.

Another great element is consistency while the Godfather failed to stay a masterpiece after the release of part three, the LOTR is always brilliant. All the way from the fellowship to the two towers all the way to the return of the king the films are consistently BRILLIANT. One other way to describe the trilogy is epic, the stakes are higher than nearly any film i have ever seen and the battles are huge and well constructed. Even though we as an audience are pelted with countless fictional characters locations and concepts Jackson always maintains the suspension of disbelief, because it's so so good.

The trilogy has won 17 Oscars, having been nominated for 30 overall, a testament to just how fantastic the trilogy is.
