I've seen the movie twice, and both times, I cried when Gandalf went down with the Balrog. The music is very impressive, with the chanting chorus. I cant believe some of the things I am hearing here. Frodo a wimp? Maybe he appeared that may in the movie, but you take a spear to the chest and see how you fare. The most unlikely character is te most courageous as he is not corrupted by the ring as so many others would be.
I didnt find any parts corny, at all. How ca you say it was "cheesy?" Maybe it's just 'cause I've read te trilogy three times. One thing to keep in mind, the events of LotR is the very end of the history of Middle-earth. thousands of years have passed since the overthrough of Morgoth the Enemy at the end of the first age. Sauron is only the servant of Morgoth and carries over his evil into the following ages. (as you can see, I'm a Tolkien freak)
The reason there are 3 movies is that there are 3 movies, hence a trilogy. the Hobbit was a precursor, sorta like an introduction to Middle-earth. The Hobbit was originally published in 1937, while the LotR was published in 1955-1956. any thing you are unsure of, I'll be happy to answer.
