The Silmarillion – (Robert Pattinson | Cate Blanchett | Benedict Cumberbatch | Anya Taylor-Joy)
A grand adaptation exploring the creation of Middle-earth and the first war for the Silmarils — before the One Ring ever existed.
Pattinson channels brooding heroism. Cumberbatch gives voice to Sauron in early form. Though dense, it’s visually poetic and emotionally rich.
Before rings — there was fire.
Rating: 8.0/10
