Hey there, fantasy lovers! Let’s dive right in: there’s really nothing quite like the epic saga of Lord of the Rings. Adapted from J.R.R. Tolkien’s masterpieces, these films are truly monumental—though there are only three main films: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. And yes, we can’t forget the Hobbit trilogy, which feels like it adds to the lore just as much! So, if you’re on the lookout for films that will give you that same magical vibe, you’re in luck! Here are some excellent alternatives that will have you saying “My Precious!” in no time.
The impact of LOTR is so significant that it was even revealed that a famous band once wanted to adapt it. Yep, The Beatles had their sights set on bringing Tolkien’s world to life, but alas, they couldn’t secure the rights. Can you imagine that?
Since we can’t watch The Beatles tackle Middle-earth, here’s a list of movies that might just hit the spot for you:
- King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)
Join Charlie Hunnam as Arthur, who must reclaim his kingdom after his uncle’s betrayal. It’s a classic tale of destiny, revenge, and the legendary sword Excalibur. - Willow (1988)
Directed by Ron Howard, this charming film features Warwick Davis as Willow, a farmer who becomes a sorcerer. He teams up with a warrior (played by Val Kilmer) to protect a special baby and take down an evil queen. Plus, there’s a Disney+ remake in the works! - Tolkien (2019)
Want more insight into the genius behind Lord of the Rings? This biopic stars Nathaniel Green as Tolkien and explores his life experiences that inspired his writing. - Beowulf (2007)
This animated epic features Ray Winstone as the titular hero on a quest to defeat the monster Grendel. With a touch of fantasy and action, Angelina Jolie plays a pivotal role as Grendel’s mother. - The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005)
Dive into the magical world of Narnia with a group of kids who enter through a wardrobe. They embark on a thrilling adventure against an evil witch, just like the epic tales of LOTR.
