The Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit movies

The LOTR II…

Opening with the recollection of Gandalf’s fall in Moria, Peter Jackson’s spectacular sequel to the Oscar-winning Fellowship of the Ring carries on with the story of the hobbits’ quest into Mordor, seemingly hopeless despite their heroism… Aragorn and his companions are faced with a new peril: the treason of Isengard and Saruman’s planned assault on Rohan, the free land of the Horselords… A skillful combination of large-scale battle and siege scenes with romance and true Elvish magic, the film is an outstanding masterpiece of the modern fantasy genre. Complemented with the superb acting of the ever-charismatic hobbit Elijah Wood and the beautiful Elf-princess Liv Tyler, the film is a magnificent yet at times intensely frightening experience.

I have browsed the Web and various Tolkien-related resources to make a list of the links; most of them will direct you to either a particular official (unofficial) movie site, a fan network, an occasional collection of images and, in several cases, to the film databases of www.theonering.net, www.lordoftherings.net and www.tlotr.net, as well as some others. In some cases, however, I thought the available information not sufficient, and the few unlinked actor names will be supplied with respective resource links in the nearest future
