I’m 36 and those movies were even boring at the time. Decent stories, but I would never go out of my way to watch them. If you must, watch them once and then move on with your life. I literally can’t watch them when people I know want to watch them. It’s like torture. Or just read the books.
I’ve tried to read the books many times over the decades… Tolkien is verbose for the sake of being verbose.
FFS, he spent half the first chapter of The Hobbit describing the color of the hobbit’s front door - and I’d read over 200 books before attempting The Hobbit.
(OK, it wasn’t half the chapter, but he spent inordinately long on it).
