Most of the 'Fellowship of the Ring' reforms after 15 long years

Still ready for adventure.

It's already been 15 years since we watched the epic start to Frodo and Sam's great adventure in Lord of the Rings. This means it's probably an appropriate time to do one of those, "Where are they now?" type retrospectives.

Luckily for us, actor Dominic Monaghan -- otherwise known as Merry from Lord of the Rings -- has posted some fantastic photos to his Instagram which shows us exactly where some of the cast is now.

They are all together. Dudein' out.

Now we know the entire Fellowship isn't represented in this photo. But some of the major players are all here like Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn), Orlando Bloom (Legolas), Billy Boyd (Pippin) and Elijah Wood (Frodo).

It's comforting to see that Legolas is still more or less in archer shape. Frodo still has that bewildered, slightly scared look in his eyes. Unfortunately, Aragorn seems to have adopted more modern forms of weaponry. That's truly a shame.

Monaghan also posted a few selfies from the get together.

Seeing the cast reunited like this is truly a delight for all Lord of the Rings fans.

We can't help but notice, though, that most of the cast members seem like they have aged...except for Wood. Could the ring have...? No, no, that's crazy.

Right?
