1. The Calcium Kid
A British comedy film revolves around Jimmy, a milkman, who becomes a boxing champion out of the blue. Along the way, he faces quirky trainers, sceptical promoters, and a rival fighter whose agenda remains hidden. As Jimmy rises to fame, his naive behaviour leads him to unavoidable circumstances, thereby allowing him to confront them to solve the issues. This film was released on 30 April 2004, and upon its release, it became a subject of criticism for its lack of depth in the story and overdramatic expression of milk as a booster.
However, Bloom as Jimmy made a significant impact on viewers because of his performance. Other actors in the film include Michael Lerner, Billie Piper and Mark Heap. Their roles bring humour to the screen while watching. Nevertheless, people looking for a little subtle comedy with action-packed drama along with romance can watch this film; it never disappoints.
2. The Lord of the Rings
The Lord of the Rings this film is set amidst the spectacular and lush environments of New Zealand. But to stay grounded to the plot and to portray J. R. R. Tolkien’s imaginary Middle-earth world, director Peter Jackson chose this location while adapting the story exceptionally well. The Lord of the Rings is depicted in the fantasy world–Middle-earth. The film focuses on The Hobbit, named Frodo Baggins and his group to destroy the powerful ring, as this ring was made by the evil Dark Lord Sauron; destroying it is the only way to stop him.
Moreover, as the film continues in different shades, the split of the Frodo gang intensifies the plot, leaving the audience shocked. Eventually, to protect the people of Middle-earth, different groups unite to support Frodo in his quest to destroy Sauron through war. The film’s ensemble cast adds to the quality of the film; Orlando Bloom as Legolas, who helps Frodo in the war against Sauron, adds depth and excitement to the film’s portrayal of friendship and courage. This film was released in three series, all gaining appreciation from critics and audiences.
