Dedicated to Tolkien as a valentine by smart and dedicated fans, the film generates its own infectious goodwill; it's so fun to watch that even non-fans will concede (to borrow a phrase from another world of fandom) that resistance is futile. (Oh, and speaking of Star Trek, the vintage clip of Leonard Nimoy singing his novelty hit "Bilbo Baggins" is absolutely priceless.) Actor Dominic Monaghan ("Merry" from Jackson's trilogy, before joining the ensemble cast of Lost) perfectly delivers the film's eloquent narration, which runs the LOTR gamut from intellectual appreciation to the hilarious eccentricities of über-fan obsession. Unfailingly noble in spirit and delightfully comprehensive, Ringers is a collector's gift that can proudly stand alongside Tolkien's books and Jackson's timeless movie trilogy. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Ringers - Lord of the Fans
For the MTV Viewer, Not Intelligent Tolkien Fans Ringers - Lord of the Fans was disappointing. It's main points can be summarized in ten minutes without having to sit through an hour and a half of twenty-somethings dressed in the clothing of the decades from the 1950's to the 1980's, dancing and pretending to read from The Lord of the Rings. This is a documentary for young people who can't focus and who need a constant music soundtrack, a puppet show, and a mariachi band singing a song about all the LOTR consumer goods you can buy. <

>The actors of the Peter Jackson films appear for seconds at a time, saying nothing important. Unfortunately, much of the interviewed are LOTR fans who are so obsessed with the series that one of them actually sold her home to go to New Zealand for the filming of the Two Towers. There is a Tolkien confessional at a convention, but the people who come in seem like mostly potheads whose great contribution to this documentary is "LOTR rocks! Tolkien kicks ass!"
The summing up of all.
Dominic Monaghan really pulled off his charm as a narrator in this fantastic documentary. Ringers have finally gotten their message out: they love Tolkien and there is no other alternative to Middle-Earth. After watching this you will see how vast Tolkien's fanbase has grown to become and you will be amazed with the popularity of what is deemed the greatest fiction of all time. You will be charmed and entertained, just leave it at that.

Fun for LOTR fans!
I had seen this on pay-per-view first, and enjoyed it so much I ordered a copy for myself. Very good(and amusing) history of Professor Tolkien's work. While some fans are well over the top, most seem to have a great time doing the fan conventions and gathering. I was amazed at some of the Tolkien inspired places..ie..Middle Earth in CA. And some of the costums were really just great. All in all a very enjoyable disc which any die-hard Tolkien fan should see.
