    At least LOTR has not been rebooted every 5-10 years like some Marvel/DC movies.

    Even if there’s probably someone itching to make a gritty reboot of LOTR.

      LotR has been done a few times. The Peter Jackson one is just so good that no one wants to be compared to it though. I’d argue that even Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit felt so bad because the LotR trilogy was so good. (It was also just bad, but the comparison made it feel even worse.)

        I reached that trilogy a couple months ago. It wasn’t that bad. It’s not as good as LOTR, but I still enjoyed it.

      I mean, look at the source material. One’s an epic saga the other’s a monthly brochure at the magazine corner shop.
      I guess, it fits.
