3.0 out of 5 stars Good - not fantastic, October 16, 2011

This review is from: J. R. R. Tolkien (DVD)

Some parts of this video may seem a bit hokey, and even funny. I hadn't known that the Beatles had planned on starring in a Lord of the Rings movie - thank goodness they didn't! But there are some primary words and interviews with Tolkien here - not very long, but some precious insights to his mind. This video covers in some detail how Tolkien began writing the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings. It describes Tolkien's literary fascination, and his amazing capacity to invent new languages. That in itself was fascinating. The movie was made before the Peter Jackson films, so don't buy it expecting special effects. It is a brief, but informative documentary.

This has to be one of the worst documentaries I have ever seen. On top of being a low budget, ridiculously shallow look at Tolkien, the brand new copy I bought skipped. I have returned it.
