Tolkien's Lord of the Rings on modern popular culture in this revealing documentary narrated by Lord of the Rings star Dominic Monaghan. For over fifty-years fans of Tolkien's literary masterpiece have bonded over tales of brave hobbits and evil wizards, and with the release of Peter Jackson's awe-inspiring Lord of the Rings trilogy, even fans who had previously claimed a film could never do the book justice sat in stunned silence when the final credits of Lord of the Rings: Return of the King rolled. So sit back, kick up your feet, and take an intimate look at the die-hard fans affectionately known as "Ringers" and the worldwide community they have built on the foundation of one of fantasy fiction's most beloved titles. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
If you're just a casual fan, you'll find Ringers' history lesson interesting, but its entertainment value sorely lacking.
-
David Cornelius, eFilmCritic.com
It's all done so very, very poorly that fan and non-fan alike will have lost interest all too soon.

Rory L. Aronsky, Film Threat
It is a documentary that will always be a salient part of Lord of the Rings history and honestly, it deserves its own 2+ DVD set.
