The way Haldir just pulled up with his army of Elves is awesome
True. Unfortunately it wasn't in the books. A good change by Peter Jackson, I think.
@@PristinePerceptionsThe War of the Ring is meant to be the victory of Men,which is why the dwarves and the elves have very little relevance,and so their struggles are not detailed
@@niccologregorutti9309 It's from mankind's "POV". The elves and dwarves were attacked too, but it's not shown in TLotR.
It's a bit of a mess for me. It's logistically impossible, for Haldir and his troops to have got from Lothlorien to Helms Deep in time they would have had to have left before Aragorn and co even arrived in Rohan. Secondly in order to get the story back on track with the book all the elves have to somehow just die off screen in the battle, not a single one survives which is in utter contradiction to Super Mario Legolamb bouncing about Mumakil single-handedly and taking orcs down while surfing shields. An army of Legolambs should be invincible as portrayed in these films. I have no idea what narrative purpose it serves to ruin the books sense of utter hopelessness against the numbers by having elves turn up, and even less idea why its there when they just all drop down dead to no purpose anyway. As far as I can tell PJ felt he needed a vaguely recognisable character death so shoehorned this whole elves at Helms Deep thing in there just to have a slowmo death scene. It's very cheap writing.
The third one is the best one for extended. Major plot points are in the extension. Its still incredible as theatrical release, but if its too long, do two sittings. You won't regret it.
I hope they watch the extended one.. of the 3 movies, the 3rd extended one is most important to avoid plotholes and such
At 3:45, the actions of the Uruk-hai pounding the butts of their spears against the ground were semi-improvised. There was a lot of down time between actions, while the lighting and sound guys were setting up and adjusting their equipment, and during these lulls the Orcs (many of whom were Maori, or native New Zealanders) and the Elves would trade good-natured jibes and catcalls at each other. At one point this evolved into the Orcs rhythmically pounding their spears against the ground, which the director (not sure at this point whether it was PJ or one of his assistants) liked so much that he worked it into the action. At one point it mutated into a real Maori haka, or ceremonial war dance! The Battle of Helm's Deep took four months to film, longer than many full movies, all shot at night in the rain (real or artificial). The stunties had T-shirts made that read "I survived Helm's Deep." You should watch the Making Of videos that accompany the DVD version--lots of good anecdotes there.
Bro they barely sat thru the movie, there’s no way those guys short attention span and chicks constant need to moan and gripe about everything would allow them to watch anything extra, let alone enjoy it.
I've actually done marathons of all 3 extended editions in one day. Get up and walk around breaks between movies obviously but half a day dedicated to the trilogy is great.
@@WheresWaldo05 a day is 24 hours. the 3 movies extended edition combined is 11.5 hours, or 12 hours if you round up by 25 minutes. 24 is divided by 2 is 12, so half a day.
pretty simple maths
@@WheresWaldo05 i don't care that you don't know what half of 24 is.
Add on your recorder's FULL RECHARGE TIME.
the main reason why so many prefer the extended cut, is not just because there's more 'content' in it.. (without giving spoilers) there are important / good things that happen that they removed from the theatrical release.. if you watch the theatrical release for the 3rd one, basically there will be many plotholes or things that arent explained.
as many pointed out in the comments.. of all the extended cuts, the 3rd one is the most important one.
Please do the extended edition for the 3rd one, PLZ
Is this one even the extended ?
I agree...please do the extended version, even if that means you split it into two. It is worth it!
This was extended edition
The scene between Boromir and Faramir and their dad was cut from the Theatrical version of the movie. It's the main reason LOTR nerds prefer the Extended version, as it explains many of Boromir's motivations in FOTR. There's another critical scene near the beginning of ROTK that was similarly cut; you'll recognize it when you see it.
This is the extended lol
Sam's speech at the end of this is my favourite speech of all time ❤
Lurtz Uruk-Hai is my friends dad Lawrence Makoare and he also played the witch king of Angmar! I live here new zealand am maori! Kia ora 😊✌🏻✌🏻❤️❤️
Lurtz is the coolest bad guy in the movie. Almost proud. The way he pulled himself onto Aragorn's sword is so badass defiant! He has Predator energy.
Hi guys, you seem to be confusing Isengard and Mordor because of the similar towers. As the title says, they're two very different places : Isengard is the one where Saruman is, and where the Ents (the trees) attacked. Mordor is where Frodo and Sam are trying to go, and where Sauron is. The big black gate you saw in part 3 of the movie is Mordor. So the Ents attacking Isengard at the same time Frodo was captive couldn't have helped him with entering in Mordor like you seemed to think ^^
I hope it clarify things for you, can't wait for the third movie, i hope it will be the extended version too (scenes that were cut are actually much more important than Merry and Pippin smoking weed xD )
The extended version of the The Return Of The King is probably the one you should watch the most of the 3.
Agreed. The third one’s extended is the most vital….especially a certain scene at the start
Fun fact: John Rhys Davies that plays Gimli also did the voice of Treebeard 😊
Helms Deep, that little side door is called a sally port, and is designed for exactly that use.
If there is a movie series that deserves reactions to the extended editions, it is this one. The books are, in the true/original sense of the word, "epic". Like, "An epic". I feel like someone should've prepared you guys for that when you went into this series 😅.
I know filming 4 hour reactions is difficult, but we're all for it!
P. S. I know folks are talking about extended versions of the Hobbit series - but for those I actually won't mind if you reacted just to the theatrical release. But Return of the King - no, for that one, please react to the extended edition. It's the finale of the original trilogy.
Do Extended Return of the King. Even if you have to split it in 2 or do something weird tech-wise.
The Hobbit films are fine with the theatrical release.
Some scenes in hobbit are needed so I’d still just go through. Extended. Taking off the credits shaves off 40 minutes anyway… channels just split them into two or three parts anyway so why won’t they?
12:23 What do you mean, Rico? you don't remember the great war of the orcs back in those days? it's in our history books hahahaha (jkjkjk)
You mentioned the dwarf armies. The Lord of the Rings focuses on the battles in the south of Middle Earth. Though not covered in the Lord of the Rings books or movies, there were battles in other parts of Middle Earth, and the dwarves fought in a major battle against Sauron's forces in the north in the Battle of Dale. This was the area around the Lonely Mountain where much of the Hobbit is set.
Great reation matey can't wait for number 3
part 3 has to be the extended version 😊 nice reaction 😊
great reaction.!!
Next The Lord Of The Ring Extended Edition Of The Return Of The King Extended Edition
And Next Trilogy The Hobbit Extended Edition Of The Adventures Of Bilbo Baggin:
(1) An Unexpected Journey Extended Edition
(2) The Desolation Of Smaug Extended Edition
(3) The Battle Five Armie Extended Edition
They should just watch one of the fan edits of The Hobbit, no need for all three movies.
@@Andrew04291 Or the Rankin-Bass animated version.
Between Christmas and New Years (two months ago) a local theater had the extended additions on three consecutive nights. Yes I went each night and watched each one in full. It was glorious on the big screen! Watch the extended!!!🎉
I watched all 3 extended versions from start to finish with about 15 minutes break in between each movie when they came out on dvd
Thanks for the reaction Not watching the extended for Return of the King would be criminal though, just saying. Lots of amazing scenes.
Ps. yes, watched start to finish, both movies 😄and will for the last one. Love the long format btw.
The return of the king….so much emotion, so many tears….😢
An interesting detail that is not explicitly said in the movies is King Theoden's age. In the movies he looks like a 50 year old man. However he is supposed to be 71 years old,and still he is able to fight and ride a war horse to battle
There is some good in this world. This lines gives reason to hope and live good life. Those were the time of movies when movies has some powerful and positive impact on people not to mention has won many Oscars. Wish more such wonderful movies come in future.
Return of the King to Legolas while drinking at Minas Tirith: "... and then I tossed him."
20:58 Oh, yes, definitely! I'd love to see that one too.
39:52 "Now, don't be hasty...😅"
You guys ok?
Right?
Great job! Now, let me add my voice -- do the extended. As some say below, watch half one day and half the next if you must.
Enjoyed watching both films with you. But despite the problems please do the Return of the King Extended version there are so many great scenes you will miss
For gods sake watch the extended for The Return of the King.
Most people split the reaction in half. Don't do 4 hours in one sitting. When you're about halfway through stop at a good point and do the rest another day.
Cannot find you on patreon with the name u have writtwn here :(
Fair warning if you don't do extended version for 3 you'll be missing very important parts
My favorite character honestly is Eowyn.
That's how you write a strong female character.
She has a line in the third movie that could come across so cheesy and forced on its own.
But because it was earned through the second and third movie, it is very satisfying when she says it.
You'll know which line it is when you see it.
did you guys drop this or just clearing up some other reactions?
Not dropped just lining up content also it will be a solo reaction when it drops
@@RicoPresents Glad that was clear, I was enjoying y'all reactions and no way they're gonna stop before the last movie 😂 hope y'all doing good
You could watch the extended as 2 halves
I wonder if you’re gonna react to The Marvels
When only years later you realize that Saruman conjured rain
Please do the extended version for the Return of the King
The Hobbit is the story of how the Ring came to Frodo's uncle, Bilbo 65 years before Frodo got it.
To the king.
That line honestly gives me the feels.
watch deadpool 2
I don’t think it’s the equipment that has the issue with the extended watch…
Guys please it's worth doing the extended so you can understand the whole story. And also some badasss scenes as well.
While there are scenes in the extended version that I really like, I much prefer the theatrical version of Two Towers. The Merry and Pippin scenes with the ents REALLY drag and affect the pacing in the extended version.
I think people tend to get a bit carried away with forcing the extended versions on reactors. It’s a big trilogy and the movies are VERY long. You’ve got to ease yourself in gradually as a first time watcher. There’s nothing wrong with the theatrical versions; they are the ones the director intended the audience to see in the cinema after all.
Overall though, I think this was a much better reaction than your Fellowship of the Ring video, where I could tell you weren’t as into it because you were talking over it so much. In this reaction you were a lot more focused and I think you enjoyed it more because of it.
I wouldn’t mind at all if you watched the theatrical version of Return of the King, it still absolutely slaps and is usually the one that converts first time watchers into fans. ☺️
Where's the marvel content
Please watch Invincible and The Boys!!!
Anybody home?
Is this the extended (true edition)? The theatrical were known as the abridged version thanks to the cinema CEOs and Harvey Weinsteins pushes to make as much showings as possible so they’d get more money. Even pushing for two films only. You know who was pushing for even 1. Thanks to the DVDs that came out later on to give us the original edition where they also showed us the massive behind the scenes passion project documentary special features to get around what the cinemas pulled and forced upon PJ and crew.❤
Yep, it's the extended. The flashback scene of Boromir is an extended scene.
@@MasterDirox the point is it’ll make less sense since they’ll miss Saruman entirely from the third movie without the extended edition. (The true uncut non abridged version)
u should finish watching daredevil
Loki 2
Gandalf isn't allowed to use even half of his power or he'll be punished
no reaction to return of the king?
Peter Jackson had a cameo in all these movies, try and pick him out
I love how silly Peter Jackson was. The freakin torch runner orc was surrounded by... other torches....
Another great moment in this was when Faramir had the stones to do harm towards a bearer of one of the nine rings of men. Those rings were designed to influence humans, and you can see it working when everyone is terrified of the screaming nazgul riding in instead of shooting at the noisy thing.
Can you watch venom
I live in Middle Earth and those damn Orcs need to learn how to drive! Nothing better than a Hobbit New Year, though a bit stingy on the liquor for a 6 foot tall human.
Hey, bro what happened to Marvel? The last video is 3 months ago! 😮
What happened to this channel? Why did they just quit?
Very very bad idea to watch the theatrical version of return of the king. Of all of the trilogy, return of the king is the one most chopped up by the theatrical version. I saw it first in the cinema and i was horrified at how bad it was. It literally just cuts a couple of major characters and never mentions them, while introducing something new with no explanation. It was almost incomprehensible - and id read the books dozens of times by then. I took my dad along and he didnt have a clue what was going on. The extended version of ROTK isnt just a better version - its the only version that contains the coherent story. And if you watch the extended version, you’ll still want more at the end.
The battle of helms deep is not lengthened from the theatrical version compared to the extended version. The only difference is that in the extended version the trees are shown to have moved to the riverbed outside helms deep, which is what happened in the books - the trees get their vengeance on the orcs. Without that scene the trees are made pointless and helpless when, in fact, its the trees that destroy the orcs at helms deep.
The extended version of two towers gave more of the ents, trees, and pippin and merry storyline - chopped to almost nothing in the theatrical version.
Ive watched all of these movies from start to finish many times. But i dont watch the theatrical versions, because the extended versions leave out a lot, and the theatrical versions are worse.
Y’all don’t really post like that anymore what’s going on?
Where's return of the king??
Вы самые лучшие ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just split the next one :)
Extended version is always better!
Don’t tell me you guys broke up
They didn't , they are a just busy with some work, they will be back soon sometime
The extended movies are stupidly long. That being said, I do feel like they add another level of immersion and lore to the world that you otherwise would never have been aware of without reading/listening to the actual books. I do love the way you edit/created these though. Too often RUclipsrs do so much editing and cutting of content that it makes me want to stop watching the reaction, but you all are spot on. I can't imagine how much of a pain it was to make 4 separate videos for the Two Towers, not to mention the technical issues you dealt with - but as a viewer, you all killed it, and I enjoyed every moment! Thank you!
People need to understand that the extended editions are for fans. Newbies should not be watching the extended editions. They are great and I do a marathon twice a year of those editions. But most LOTR fans started with the theatrical. The theatrical releases are perfection on their own. The theatrical has better pacing and tension with the extended giving information away too early so we see stuff coming, like the mithril in the mines in the first movie, 5 minutes before the fight in the cave.
If they like the theatrical then recommend the Extended. Because the extended is not made for them and you can tell that they got tired and overwhelmed. Come for the story first, then return for the world building.
You two love the relationships between people, the banter, and character building: you REALLY should watch Firefly!
Can you make new Videos
This is hands down my favorite film series ever, and the number one trilogy i always look forward to watching my favorite reaction channels post for us to experience with them for the first time. That being said.. after this reaction I wish you guys never chose these movies to react to. Your attitude towards them and inability to take them as serious as they are presented ruined what should have been a great reaction and enjoyable watch. The fact that you gave more weight and interest to Harry Potter than LOTR is such a let down and underwhelming turn out that I have no interest in watching you guys finish this trilogy and that’s never happened for me before. I get that it’s a complex story with tons of characters and names or locations to remember but I’ve seen people who have never been into fantasy at all find a love for it through these films, but you guys seem to have already made up your minds about how much you’re going to like these movies overall. Sorry guys, I usually enjoy your reactions, but for the first time you’re guys constant choice to talk over important dialogue or moments, Monica’s indifference and eye rolling attitude towards them as well as homies constant comparison to other films that took heavy inspiration from LOTR, not the other way around, made this my least enjoyable reaction watch ever
Each to their own, not everyone is gonna like everything and if you didn’t enjoy the reaction sounds like a you a problem.
Also HP will Always be number one for me, if yo watched the reactions you know why, if I’m being completely honest the fandom of LOTR out of all the franchises I’ve watched have been the most toxic entitled group of people I’ve come across, and that alone has made me not enjoy the films as much as I think I would have or seen them the way they were intended to be, which is actually very telling, and sad.
Also as a huge Harry Potter fan the fact you think something I’ve never seen before will hold more weight than a franchise that I’ve been in love with since I was a kid, compared to a franchise I’ve just started watching and the way in which their fandom has been so rude, to my partner and I is crazy to me.
@@RicoPresents Well, you've shown you didn't pay attention nor understood any of the criticism levied towards the both of you on the original video. Or you did and can't admit fault. Not sure which is worse, but both are terrible.
Your behavior in that video makes the same dismissive and arrogant behavior in this response very predictable and a great justification for my abandoning your channel for good.
Reaction is not the same as commentary and speaking over well-written dialogue is not good on either front.
Quite frankly, your wife and yourself perfectly showcased how much intellect and emotional maturity you both have. Not much of either, if I wasn't clear enough.
Good riddance.
did you just copy the exact same message you posted on their fellowship of the ring vid? absolute weirdo 😂😂😂
yeah there was definite room for improvement in their first reaction, everyone can see that, but this one has been much better
take a chill pill and touch some grass lad
what dragged is the extended version
Take everything people are saying in the comments from this video and the fellowship then combine it with the fact that you watched the extended edition for the two towers, but said it was too long, so you’re only gonna watch the regular theatrical edition for the Return of the King…. You guys are literally shooting yourselves in the foot with this trilogy. What should have been the highlight of your guys channel is literally going to mark the beginning of its downfall.
I believe Arwen was supposed to show up at Helm's Deep but they cut her at the last minute even though she had already filmed her fight scenes
❤
Bro watch all transformers movie bro that all movie is so awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Do the extended. Just split it into two watching sessions if you really need to
Sorry y'all broke up. All the best
They still follow each other on social media.
We didn’t break up, I’ve just had some personal issues (life you know) not always smooth sailing be back soon.
@@RicoPresents Hope your doing well your content is really enjoyable but your health comes first.
@@RicoPresents honestly m’dude, I didn’t write this. I barely watch stuff but shared my YT premium with a bud. Just logged in to see videos about the blackhole they found at the Big Bang. I’ll take to my nephew
He’s my “step/nephew” (if that’s a thing) sister side and is 28, for context.
I love these films but I wouldn't recommend the extended editions for you first time watching. I saw all three films in theaters, but I watched the extended versions at home where I could watch over the course of a few days. It's like piling a bunch of food on your plate at a buffet you've never been to.
i wonder what happen to the channel and the movie reactions and the lord of the rings and so on and why ur not communicating with us with updates like before in the community section am sorry to say that rico but thats rude am sorry am very stright forward ur every once and a while live playing video games and u dont respect the ppl here who made this channel with u we are not asking anything just a respect just communicate !
Bruh 1st the best one - I’ve seen each one over 100x cuz it’s my favorite trilogy- u need the first one to build a foundation to set the movie for the next 2 othwerwise u get a shyte cuuuunt movie that makes no sense
I think you guys should have stuck with the theatrical version, it's paced better. The extended cuts are great for those who are already fans as they flesh out the world and the characters better, but they lack the narrative momentum and intensity of the theatrical cuts. With the Return of the King, you should definitely see the theatrical version, as the extended cut has numerous scenes that ruin the pacing.
The theatrical version of Return of the King completely cuts out a very important character which never made any sense to me. Even the actor who played him was very upset.(Leaving out the names incase Rico hasn't watched it yet.)
If you do the theatrical for the third, after doing the extended for the second, it would be such a huge letdown and disappointment. No one‘s(including myself )going to watch the reaction for the third movie theatrical version just so you guys know. Just work through the technical issues, every other channel does.. plus you’ll be shorting yourself on the full experience that movie brings. But at the end of the day, it’s your choice, just know you’ll be the only one who wants the theatrical version for the final movie and it’ll be the biggest missed opportunity of the channel so far. If the length was a problem, you should’ve just done the theatrical for the first two and then done the extended for the third because that’s where it matters. Also, maybe the chick could sit the third one out so she doesn’t bring the mood down and you can enjoy it to the fullest extent. She’s kind of a buzzkill.
Boycott Amazon ring of powers - puked 5x even giving it multiple chances (wat he’s it a few times forcing myself to like but to no avail)
Be a proper gentleman and let the lady talk first after the movie
Si. Esa forma de guerra fue real y aún en ocasiones se queda corta. Tolkien sabía mucho sobre las guerras en Europa en la antigüedad ...tienes razón, tienes suerte de vivir en esta época.....Hubo momentos terribles, guerras terribles y tan crueles o más que lo documentado en esta película...Si, creedme ..era muy real
