I hate Lord of the Rings. Well, I don't hate it. I just don't understand why people love it so much (not "why everyone loves it", but "when one person loves it they love it more than anything else"). I don't consider the story all that enjoyable, especially for the movies. I definitely don't consider it rewatchable.
Like, I'm the target demographic. I was 16 when the first one came out. I played DnD and Magic the Gathering. Warcraft 2 was one of my favorite games. Mages and Orcs are something I've always had in my life since as long as I can remember. My parents read the Hobbit to me and I had read fellowship and two towers at some point around 11 or 12. But the movies? They just don't connect with me. And I've never had anyone be able to put into words what it is that makes it click for them.

The French Dispatch.
God what a boring piece of crap, and people seem to think it's all the rage.
