I walked out of the first lord of the rings an hour and a Half in when it was still character building. I mentioned to my gf at the time and she said it'll prob be 3 years before the second part and 6+ for the third. And no, obviously I never read The books.

I hate watching series waiting a week between cliffhangers... Couldn't care less to wait years.. Still haven't caught up.

They came out in 2001, 2002, and 2003 which was a cinematic triumph at the time because he secured funding and filming rights to film all three movies at the same time.

Oh... Well still wasn't in the mood to wait. I'm not a fantasy fan tbh.

Has to be said though. Knocking out 9+ hours of movies over 3 years is a pretty incredible feat.

Everyone has preferences, but you've done yourself a disservice not going back and finishing. OP's right calling them a cinematic triumph.
