Lord of the rings. Over the years i tried watching it again and again but i either fall asleep of stop caring and do something else halfway through.

Not to be that guy, but are you watching the extended editions? I used to also not enjoy the movies until I gave the extended editions a chance. Much better pacing

I always thought the theatrical editions would be easier for first-timers, but I've never tested that theory. Interesting to hear that you felt the opposite.

Just saw the extended edition. I can't see what people enjoy about it. The dialogue is sharp but the story is abysmal.

Thoughts on the books? (if you’ve read them)

I've tried reading the books twice and watching the films once. They're just so fucking long.

(I've read lots of books with a similar number of pages without thinking they're too long, and smaller books that I've also got bored of)
