One of the biggest moments in any The Lord of the Rings fan's life is introducing the movie series to a significant other who hasn't seen it before. You spend as much time watching their reactions, making sure that they're not checking their phone and trying to refrain from chiming in "he broke his foot when he kicked that, the scream is real!" as you do watching the films.
Even though you know deep down that the natural charm of the three movies will win over even the most cynical viewer, it's hard not to worry if you love the movies so much. And when I started introducing my girlfriend to the trilogy, a complaint of hers nearly derailed the entire process... until Amazon's new soundbar saved the day.
