      If you want to put a little note saying ‘the movies are overrated’ sure, we can have a debate about that. Fantasy films really aren’t for everyone, and adapting LotR is definitely not an easy task.

      If you genuinely mean the books as well, idk what to tell you. The history of the fantasy genre after LotR proves you’re wrong.

      I agree. I enjoy it, but I’m not desperate for more. (I feel the same about the original Star Wars as well)

      Even if you dislike the story, its impact on the fantasy genre is hard to argue against. I personally dislike the series too, but I refuse to call it overrated because it influences basically every aspect of modern fantasy writing.
