‘Tis the season to declare your love for The Lord of the Rings, especially the cinematic adaptations which, as far as many are concerned, are among the greatest films of all time. Leading that charge, naturally, is theThe Fellowship of the Ring.When people think of Peter Jackson’s trilogy, they likely think of thegreat battle of Helm’s Deep, arguably one of the most gripping in cinematic history, or they’ll think of the epic conclusion thatReturn of the Kinggave to its fandom. But theFellowship of the Ringis where it all began (okay, technicallyThe Hobbitis the beginning, but we’re talking about theLOTRtrilogy here).Are you brave enough toReturn to Moria?“The Fellowship of the Ringis a masterpiece and one of the greatest sequels of all time. The Battle remains the greatest fantasy battle sequence ever put to screen,” posted one fan on social media, with yet another debate over which of the three films is best beginning.My main question is which battle the OP is referring to, as there are two crucial battle sequences in the first film, both of which are chillingly sublime and utterly heartbreaking for differing reasons: The Battle of Moria and The Battle of Amon Hen. I remember watching The Battle of Moria at the cinema and sobbing because, back then, I didn’t know Gandalf wasn’t dead.AdvertFor those still not sold on the notion that the first film is the best, there are plenty of other avid fans awaiting to explain why you need educating – “I used to thinkFellowshipwas the weakest of the three, but in past years I’ve changed my tune and now it’s my favourite […] Just a masterclass in worldbuilding,”saidWastingTimesOnReddit.“Oh yes, I love all that. The transition from the shire as an idyllic pastoral land of peace, to the dark sinister burning hatred of Sauron when Gandalf reveals it to Frodo after the party … what an immense mood swing over like a half hour of film,” exclaimed another, reminding us that, while hobbit life looks quaint, it has many secrets if you look deep enough.If you can’t decide which film in the trilogy is the best, here’s my advice: re-watch them all. They’re all incredible and equally deserving of praise.Featured Image Credit: New Line CinemaTopics:The Lord Of The Rings,TV And Film
