I love the lotr books and films. While I can appreciate this for what it is (a reenactment made for the radio in the 80s) it still felt to me a bit like listening to a high school theater production. It's not bad but enjoyed listening to the actual audiobook than this version

Such a brilliant dramatisation, especially for the poetry and song! Though I must confess my surprise at Frodo's f-bomb in episode 2, hush now Mr Underhill.

A lovely adaptation of the classic. The voice acting is excellent and the sound effects definitely add to the feeling. The singing as well, especially with the elven parts.
The only thing I personally couldn't get over was Aragorn's voice acting, but that's due to personal loyalty to Viggo Mortensen's characterization, haha. It was a bit too harsh for me. But otherwise an excellent read/hear(?)
