The NeverEnding Story
It is a classic fantasy ride that should resonate with fans of Jackson’s epic, as well as LOTR fans who would use it to describe the ending of Return of the King.
In a similar fashion to that film saga, this film focuses on a young, humble protagonist who is involved in a fantasy adventure. Nevertheless, the book is present in both the film and the real world in this case. The portal opens a world of adventure and wonders for Bastian, which he becomes enthralled by. Because of its high production value and detailed special effects, the visuals still hold up today.
Eragon
If you enjoy fantasy narratives, Eragon definitely deserves your attention if it is not one of the most successful movies. Even though Eragon doesn’t offer as much as the books, it’s still entertaining enough to spend a great weekend. Despite all the changes from the book, Eragon is still a great movie thanks to the strong performances by Ed Speleers and Jeremy Irons, and the high-quality special effects.
Gladiator
Maybe you have already seen this one. In this classic, Ridley Scott delivers an exciting romp, based on the subject of gladiators.
The film’s leading actor, Russell Crowe, convincingly portrays a scorned Roman leader and gladiator. Joaquin Phoenix plays the pompous, corrupt son of the slain emperor who betrays him and wreaks havoc on him. The Last Kingdom and Vikings-style graphics, chaotic battles, and an engaging cast are all combined with nuanced writing and a memorable cast in this film.
Kingdom of Heaven
Another one of our favorites for many reasons. Based on the Crusades, the historical epic is directed by Lord of the Rings alum Orlando Bloom. As expected from a movie directed by Ridley Scott, the visuals are sweeping and the battles are epic. Return of the King’s battle for Minas Tirith might just remind you of it. As far as the storyline is concerned, you will find all kinds of emotions. There is suspense, adventure, comedy, and whatnot. Moreover, the cast and crew are all good looking and amazing actors, so good luck with one movie.
Thor
The mythological elements in Thor are similar to those in Jackon’s trilogy. Ragnarok from 2017 is a great example of Marvel’s take on high fantasy. It is nevertheless a gripping and fun tale about the origin of the hero Thor.
The film combines action and fantasy in a cheeky comedy that rounds out this explosive Marvel film. As the hammer-wielding hero, Chris Hemsworth excels in the film’s dazzling visuals. Its colorful, atmospheric set-pieces and sense of mysticism and magic will appeal to Tolkien and Jackson fans.
