    Compared to how they would get made even today, 20 years later, they’re incredibly well-made and somewhat faithful to the material, shield-surfing, dwarf-tossing, no musical numbers, and no Tom Bombadil aside. The actors involved knew they were working on something special and gave it their all, sometimes even their toe. They stand as the pinnacle of fantasy adventure movies, nothing made before or since can even hold a candle to them, except from maybe the 1983 epic masterpiece, Krull.
