It may be wayyy early to say this since there’s two more films to watch, but I recently finished Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, extended version. This is my first time seeing this film. My boss was honestly baffled I had never seen LotR. My boss loves Star Wars, but he said LotR is sooo much better than Star Wars. So I said alright, alright, I’ll get to watching them over the break. Holy shit, I’ve never expereinced such a super long setup/exposition like that. I’m ashamed to say it, but I kept checking the time left on the film because it really felt it was dragging on and on.

Is it normal to find the first film boring and then later, after seeing all three, suddenly it appears great? It didn’t exactly make me excited to see the next two, but I’ll do it regardless since it’s one of those trilogies that many have seen.

Well, like you said, you did see the extended version. I haven’t seen the extended version myself so I don’t know how it compares, but perhaps the theatrical version would be more your speed.
