Finally finished this after 3 separate false starts. Required a partner bribing me with sweets.
Tolkien is... Wordy. And this movie unextended tried to make that palatable.
I did immensely love the characters and their acting. Legitimately cared for someone I had no expectations of liking.
Fuck Miguel.
This whole thing would have been better if Gwen didn't take 2 hours to come to her senses.
But fuck, I love Gwen and have so much god damn envy for her. 🩷🩵🤍
Finally saw this, 20 years after playing the rockstar game.
It's pretty engaging, a wonderfully grimy trek home.
I adore this movie. The songs, the over the top opera vibes, the mid-aughts Goth, and the teenage angst.
The effects are heavy handed, and I think the movie would be 10 times better if they ditched the comic book exposition cuts that are explained in the next song.
