In order of release

Taking into account Ralph Bakshi’s unfinished and audacious animated adaptation from 1978, there are a total of six films based on the “Lord of the Rings” franchise. Additionally, there are future films that are already in the works. They adapt J.R.R. Tolkien’s trilogy of “Lord of the Rings” novels and the single volume of “The Hobbit,” and, when taken as a whole, they constitute one of the most ambitious, highest-grossing, and most adored film sagas in the history of fantasy.

The popularity of the film, which was directed by Peter Jackson, and, more importantly, the visual effects that it included, established a pattern for what would later become the new standards for the most epic fantasy film. The way he approached special effects and the way he perfected digital trickery will have a tremendous and long-lasting impact on blockbusters in the years to come. For instance, Marvel movies would be substantially different if it were not for the technical precedent that Jackson’s films set.

There are two primary ways to arrange trilogies for viewing (or rewatching): chronologically and by release. Both of these methods are essential. In addition, we will incorporate the ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ series that is available on Amazon into this order.

According to this sequence, the events that take place in Middle Earth are as follows. ‘The Rings of Power’ is set in the Second Age of Middle Earth, and it depicts events that occurred thousands of years prior to ‘The Lord of the Rings‘.

This is the first thing that we see in the film. Despite this, we are introduced to a few people who end up appearing in subsequent chapters, such as the elf Galadriel and the villain Sauron. Then, the hobbit protagonist of the novels that hold his name, Bilbo Baggins, is the main character in all three of the films that are based on “The Hobbit.” In those three main novels of “The Lord of the Rings,” essential components of the later development of the saga will appear. These elements include the Ring of Power, Gollum, Gandalf, and the rest of the characters that we are familiar with from the saga.

Tolkien did not write the events of “The Rings of Power” directly; rather, they are material that comes from his appendices and notes. The advantage of this arrangement is that we witness the events in the order in which Tolkien intended them to occur. This begins with the events of “The Rings of Power.”

Therefore, from the perspective of literary chronology, as well as from the order of the plot, this is the ideal order to enter Tolkien’s invention from the very beginning. The author began the story with the publication of “The Hobbit,” and then continued the story with “The Lord of the Rings.” It would be in this order, chronologically speaking:

In 2022, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will be released.
The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films are shown in reverse order, while the most current Prime Video series is saved for last. This is a far easier explanation when seen from a practical standpoint. It is not the chronological sequence of the plot, but that is not an obstacle. Since Peter Jackson’s films were thought of a long time before an adaptation of The Hobbit was even considered, everything that is mentioned about what happened chronologically previously contains spoilers that have been thoroughly researched.

It is also important to note that the adaptation that we are discussing here is an audiovisual adaptation, and it is quite reasonable to view them in the order that they were produced.

In this way, we are also able to watch the development of the special effects and the approach to Tolkien’s work: how it started in Jackson’s first films and how it evolved in the adaptation of “The Hobbit,” despite the fact that the order of events on the timeline is reversed. In conclusion, the manner in which Amazon has presented its own interpretation of this legend. In accordance with their release, the following is the order:
