Lord of The Rings: Hunt for Gollum

[Lightning]

Between the time Gandalf realized that Bilbo had left Frodo the Ring, & the time everyone met at Rivendell to begin the fellowship, there were SEVENTEEN YEARS where Gandalf was trying to find the origins of Bilbo's ring, & during almost the entire 17 year period, he & others (like Aragon) were actively hunting for Gollum.

By contrast, from the time Frodo leaves the Shire until he returns is about ONE year.

That's how it is in the books, but in the movies the gap between the birthday party and Rivendell is much shorter, perhaps even the same year.

Based on what?

Based on what?

None of the characters age except for Bilbo, and that's explicitly because he was catching up without the ring. But the biggest issue is Rosie and Sam. In the books she doesn't appear for the first time until the end of the story. But in the movies she's there at the beginning, and there is an implied ticking clock that, while she likes him, if Sam doesn't make a move soon, she's going to be off the market. There's no way Rosie waits around for 17 years for him to ask her out.

If we've learned nothing from Star Wars is that these Mad Libs types of stories are often nothing more than Pyrrhic victories.

Empty filler hoping to cash in on the LotR name....

That Gollum game that came out last year did really well, I'm sure this movie will be just as good.

I am way more excited for War of the Rohirrim, then this or Rings of Power.
