Wow.
We’ve just finished the last Lord of the Rings movie.
I was a bit worried to begin with about whether the kids were old enough at (almost) 8 and 10 to watch it.
We definitely had a bit of pause and hide as we worked our way there and back again with the Hobbit.
With the Lord of the Rings, I noticed a more scientific approach…
Who do you think would win between the Romans and the Orcs?
Who do you like more, the dwarves or the elves?
Why do hobbits have such hairy feet?
Can we have breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper? I suspect I might be part Hobbit when only one of those seemed unreasonable…
It‘s kept us all entertained over the last six weekends (they tried to sneak in a Thursday viewing but they were told not to be hasty) – a constant in a world of change.
There’s not many movies that can each take care of Friday, Saturday and Sunday night viewing (extended versions all the way).
The next adventure – working out what’s next! Ideas please!
