It’s not worth a movie. It’s worth two apparently. This happened at the beginning of Fellowship between Bilbo’s party and Gandalf returning and throwing the ring in the fire to read the glyphs.


It was 17 years between Bilbo's birthday and when Gandalf returned to confirm his suspicions about the Ring. That's the problem created by the movies (which I love) in that they make it seem like it was only a short time afterwards (less than a year).

When is that dog shite Rings of Power show coming back? And they’re just money hungry with this movie. The Hobbit films were bland enough.

Yeah but that’s not too big of an issue. It’s believable that Gandalf was gone for five years between those two times, and that timeline still works.

That's definitely something that non book readers wouldn't realize but I actually didn't mind that change. It added to the urgency of the journey. In the book by that point Frodo had essentially forgotten about it, whereas in the movie the tension and urgency was still here. I'm all for changing the source as little as possible, but I thought that was a good change.
