Continuing my tradition of reviewing the original after seeing the sequel/prequel/remake, after seeing The Hobbit: An Unexpected Adventure, I turned back (forward?) to the Lord of the Rings. I can say that I recommend this order.
Knowing the story of the hobbits and their reluctant quests helps bring this story about, as well as a background on dwarves, elves and the like. In this quest, Bilbo encourgages Frodo, who brings along 3 friends, giving it a Stand By Me feel. The movie owes a lot to George Lucas with shades of Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark. But who would not want to emulate such successful movies?
Speaking of Star Wars and order of movies, I read a proposed order of Star Wars: The Machete Order: IV, V, II, III, VI (eliminate I entirely)
