I just watched all the movies. I also have the Middle Earth series in my queue, after a lot of animes I collected since 2019 (I rarely watch videos since then)

@skyblond I don't remember very much from the movies themselves as I found them too fastpaced and confusing, even if I've read those books prior.

@trinsec Yeah, even though the movie is 150 minutes it's still not long enough to get everything in it. I didn't read the book, but I do read reviews and spoilers before I watch things. In the last two movies, I think some scenes are just too hurried and I would never figure out without going through those reviews and deleted scenes.

Maybe Netflix or someone can make a series of TV shows for each book (I heard about Amazon was doing a middle-earth series), the movie is still a classic (in terms of visualizing the magical world).

@skyblond Amazon has that ehh.. Rings of Power thing right? I've watched the first 5 minutes of the first episode but then felt like doing something else. I have a hard time getting into those things again.

Netflix had the Fantastic Beasts movie series going... the first one I've seen in the cinemas and it was fun in 3D, but the story was eh, alright. The next movie was ehhhhhh... meh. Nah. Lost interest.

@trinsec I found myself generally hard to follow a long series. The movie is not that hard. Usually, 2 hours would finish it. Series of movies are also fine (still takes me 2 weeks to finish harry potter, I mean, watching 3~4 movies a day, then resting for a week).

TV series and animes are pretty hard. Generally 12 episodes per season, and several seasons in total, not counting OVA or OVD or something. And I have to remember what's going on in the last episode, which is pretty hard if I didn't finish them in a sequential/continued manner.
