Gollum number 1 geeker
Even though there is no real end it’s still better than the LOTR trilogy
The animation style is so peak

This was a good film, and I loved it, but I honestly prefer the movies in the trilogy over this tbh. The Rotoscoping was hilarious and quite impressive. It's nothing like a Thursday night chilling with the boys as we watch Peak.
