Just mention the top reasons that got you to enjoy LOTR. I think the number one reason for me was the acting. There were a few shaky roles, but for the most part the acting was splendid. I was impressed with Sean Astin's performance in ROTK. Bernard Hill has always been only I enjoyed. I think Chris Lee will go down as one of the greatest actors in history, and Brad Dourif, just a wonderful overall bad guy you want to punch. I thought the women roles of Liv Tyler and Cate Blanchett were a little weak, but their beauty makes up for it
.
The other reason would be the scenery. I loved Minas Tirith, Edoras, The Shire, and I thought Helm's Deep was done near perfection.
