I was introduced to the Silamrillion before anything else, in 1996 when a friend of mine who was an epic metal music fan, had some illustrations of Silmarillion characters on his room's wall. I asked him with interest about these pictures and he first told me about Tolkien and how much his work has influenced rock music. Later he gave me his cover of the Silmarillion and it consumed me from the first pages... made my imagination burn like wildfire. Of course the next year i also read the Hobbit, Lotr etc... in 2000 at a time when internet was not yet what it is now, i heard in the news the announcement about the "most ambitious project in cinema history, the bringing to life Tolkien's Lotr" and it was like a thunder strike me... between 2000 to 2001 i was looking everything i could find about the upcoming movie, pictures, posters, the cast etc etc.. i even sneaked into my university's computer room to use their fast (then) internet connection and download the teaser treiler (the one with requem of a dream music). In 2001 Christmass... it was SO hard to find tickets for the movie that me and my friend ended up siting in the first row, having the huge screen almost in our face. When this prologue started and all the way up to the battle in mount doom, i caught myself crying from excitement and that happened again in the whole Moria sequence... there is no other movie trilogy in my life that made me feel like wanting to go as many times as possible to the cinema and see it again and again. I saw each one 5 times and i stoped only when i didnt had any other friends left without already seeing them!! The only other movie that i can remember giving me chills and somewhat coming close but not exactly there, was Blade Runner 2049....

If want to see what r*ping Tolkiens world and characters is, go watch RoP. I don't know why I'm trying to reason with you, tho.

That's right. But the "Last Alliance" is only the name given to the particular events of this march on Mordor. Elves and Men (specifically, the remnants of Numenor and the other men to which the Dunedain were allied) had been in informal "alliances" for centuries, so the Elves' choice to fight was merely the culmination of their earlier choice to throw in their lots together in friendship, trade, and culture.

The most of the combined cgi/live scenes were also splendid (like the fight with Nazguls in Dol Goldur). The main disappointment was the battle: even the elf and dwarf army was too man-made, soldiers moved in unnaturally ordered way. It was more a computer game than a LOTR movie. Legolas in the full-cgi scenes... ahucch. :/Yeah, as Bilbo said:"what have we done?"

More background about the Palantíri stones would have been helpful, to explain better how Saruman was in contact with Sauron and more importantly how Denethor had been corrupted, because he too had a Palantíri and had been spying on Sauron, but Sauron was aware of this and used it to bend Denetor's will. None of this is made clear in the Theater or Extended versions, so Denethor just comes across as a power-hungry old douche, when in fact he was not himself and had been aged and twisted by Sauron's power. This was the biggest omission of context in the movies, imho.

Dwarven rings: Nearly simplistic bands with emphasis on the bold gems that stick out. Human rings: Signet or class style rings, some potentially with symbols on the top denoting maybe a family crest. Yet the one Ring is just a simple gold band yet with exposure to fire, reveals it's true intent.

And I immediately realized that even the biggest TV can’t do the battle of the last alliance justice. I was completely blown away by the scale of the battle and the fact that I had to look around to capture different parts of the battlefield, the feeling of being swept away in the chaos that can only be experienced in front of a big screen, not to mention the sound effect. Another thing that stood out was the bell sound in the scene when Galadriel first met the fellowship in Lothlorien. I never noticed that before! It’s crazy that after knowing the movies inside out it was still as good as the best I’ve ever experienced in a theater.
