1997 marks the beginning of conceptual works on the LOTR trilogy. In 2003, the third movie was already in theaters.
Some people scorn the adaptations of The Lord of the Rings. But the majority considers them a great adventure; even if not everything was in accord with the source material, the trilogy is a beautiful, magical tale. The first part was released in 2001, and the last one in 2003. It took three years to release three long, epic movies, which immortalized Elijah Wood's image as a hobbit with hairy feet. And a propensity to disappear. Leaving the English way like no other.
If you can't imagine how they managed to release three long films in theaters so quickly, think about Avengers. The first movie was released the year Cyberpunk was announced – 2012. The last movie, End Game, was released before the apocalypse, in 2019. In total, these were four films laced with special effects, often causing salivation and jaw drop. They are full of fights, often breaking the rules of physics. Nevertheless, the Avengers represented the culmination of the MCU and the closure of many stories started in films outside the series. The audience is also quite divided in this case; some loved it, others cringed. I had fun, even knowing I was watching a movie about people in latex costumes.
Both of these series are works of immense scale, and both took many years of unwavering work of really large teams. Just to help you realize how large exactly, I've prepared a thought experiment for you: If you combined the end credits of the total of seven Lord of the Rings and Avengers films, they would last 1 hour, 5 minutes and 43 seconds. It's almost a feature-length movie made up of names and company credits!
