The Lord of the Rings film series (1983: Doomsday)

The Lord of the Rings is an epic fantasy film series directed and adapted by Peter Jackson, based on the books by the same name by English author, J. R. R. Tolkien. Set in the fictional world of Middle-Earth, it follows the story of Frodo Baggins, a hobbit of the Shire, and the Fellowship that built up around him to destroy the One Ring, and its maker, Sauron. The films were largely considered to be a minor success, with reviewers praising the faithfulness to Tolkien's original work, while working within a film's constraints, but criticizing the acting and execution, most notably the special effects.
