Ringers: Lord of the Fans (2005)

Reviewed: 01.16.2006

I consider myself a big fan of The Lord of the Rings. After watching, Ringers: Lord of the Fans, thank God, I'm normal!

Ringers is a documentary mainly about how LOTR has influenced pop culture in the past 50 years. Only a die-hard fanatic would enjoy this doc. The film-makers interview ordinary and celebrity fans of the books and movies. Although it's interesting to see what effect they have on people, you can't help but feel sorry for them. They are finding meaning for their lives in a movie?! Merry (Dominic Monaghan) narrates.

It's a fun look at an obsession if nothing else.
