Yeah, New Zealand really is a magical place. Pretty cool they had all those old civilizations to film in. They must have done a lot of work getting Minas Tirith camera-ready after all those years. And it was especially cool of them to hire an indigenous Balrog instead of just setting a European actor on fire the way most movies do.

    Lmao, that’s why I said the most stunning parts imo. The bits of the movies that make me stop and say “wow” are mostly just the mountain shots as the fellowship hikes and the green hills around the shire. Nothing against the rest of the visuals (like you mentioned, the cities were done really well), I’m just much more interested by nature personally

    For me, the nature moments don't have too many musical tie ins with the exceptions of the herogasm helicopter shot for the full fellowship theme shortly after leaving Rivendell.

    When I listen to the soundtrack I see Minas Morgul, and Weathertop, and Khazad-Dhum, the Argonath, the caverns below Khazad-Dhum....
