You have "met" a couple of these characters already. Balin, the sweet, white haired dwarf, was the one in the tomb that Gimli cried over in Moria. Ori (young, lots of knits, huge belch dwarf) was the skeleton who was writing in the book Gandalf read by Balin's tomb that let them know what was coming.
Balin, Lord of Moria.
I didn't know that about Ori, thank you! Also, in the extended edition of The Fellowship of the Ring, we see a white-haired Gloin at the Last Homely House in Rivendell, accompanying his son Gimli.
Don’t forget Gloin, the father of Gimli.
The songs sung in Bilbo’s house were written by Tolkien himself.
And the trolls are the same Trolls that Bilbo tells the small Hobbit children at his birthday party about
The sympathy Bilbo showed Gollum enabled him to be the one who ultimately enabled Frodo to destroy the ring. Remember in the Mines of Moria, Gandalf said, "'Even the smallest person can change the course of history", and "My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play in it, for good or evil, before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many."
Two other important words to quote. “Baggins…Shire…” If Bilbo had killed Gollum, Mordor wouldn’t have been able to torture him, and the ring may have stayed hidden forever.
@BDogg2023 not forever. The ring would have found its way back eventually and maybe in far worse hands.
@@thomasriddle7005 That's absolutely right. At the Council of Elrond one of the Elves suggests that they throw the Ring in the Sea. Gandalf argues against this saying that it would eventually be found and that they needed to eliminate the Ring forever, not just for one or one hundred generations.
They also might not have known about the secret path and attempted to enter through the gate and who knows what happens.
@@BROPify Gandalf's plan was to go around and come into Mordor from the north but it was a lot longer route and would have provided the enemy more time to pinpoint Frodo's position.
My dad read this to my sister and I as a bedtime story when I was little. The “In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.” is the opening line to the Hobbit book.
I read "The Hobbit" to my 5-year-old son as a bedtime story, one chapter at a time over as many days. It has been one of his favorite memories all his life. He read it to his daughter the same way, when she was that age. It has been one of her most cherished memories. She just got married a month ago. The next generation?
It is definitely a read-aloud book that should be shared!
My mom did that for me as a kid and The Hobbit was the one book I retained the most knowledge from I really hope parents reading books to their kids before bed doesn’t die out as time goes on
@@brianalex5083
Unfortunately, I think it is already gone - except maybe in the many death cults that require indoctrination from a young age.
That is great and as it should be. 😊 I read The Hobbit to my daughter as well.
Amber's love for LOTR is fantastic.
Because she is smart and not infantile. :)
@@taylemgames2652 Lol. No need to be infantile about it. She just has good taste.
She is sooooo accurate!! I agree with EVERYTHING she said! Love Harry Potter too but LOTR is just number 1 for me.
Imagine the insight she’d get from the books. Amber is the best
Her smile and enthusiasm are infectious. Gets me in a good mood right from the start.
Bilbo sparing Gollum ultimately saved Middle Earth because no one had the will to resist the Ring and destroy it. Gandalf foreshadows this in the Mines of Moria: "My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play in it, for good or evil, before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many."
Tolkien stated both Gal and Gandalf could wield it to full capacity and the weakened Sauron who’s already been “dead” more than once before already could easily keep him at bey. There were other reasons they rejected the ring entirely. Amazing stuff. Truly. ❤
@@Makkaru112Tolkien outright admitted that Gandalf with the ring would have been worse than Sauron. Because Gandalf was righteous and with his power would "correct" the world towards "good" - which would be awful.
I imagine it would be the same with Galadriel who basically confronts her will to power within herself when she faces the temptation of the ring.
But ultimately Tolkien was very wise in seeing the evil in good people thinking they can coerce the world towards good. Were living through that now. No shortage of those who think they know whats best and want to force others to comply. Their "social justice", "equity", "reparations" and "being on the right side of history". Delusional, self assured moral tyrants. THAT is what the ring would turn Gandalf into: a meddler with ultimate power and a desire to "correct" everything towards "good".
Sam and Galadriel, Aragorn, Elrong? could all resist it, especially Sam despite being so near the source of its power, which the closer you get to it, should overwhelm anyone but im just saying
Remember in the Fellowship of the ring during Bilbo's birthday celebration, he was telling the children a story about the trolls trying to figure out how to cook them.
The reason people complain about the graphics for these movies is because Peter Jackson spent so much prep time for LotR that many of the settings, like Minas Tirith, were actually built in miniature, which is why they look so authentic. Also, the actors were in masks and makeup, as the dwarves are in The Hobbit, but the Orcs and so many other things are all CGI so they appear less real. In other words, there are fewer practical effects used in The Hobbit, which grounded the LotR movies in "reality." It felt real.
Ya the films were already set back with the changes in director and the studio wasn't giving Jackson the time and money to do practical effects so he had to go quick and dirty with CGI.
It's so sad because Jackson had to sort out Del Toro's shit show in such a short amount of time with an awful budget. It's amazing he managed to pull it off at all let alone make highly watchable and entertaining films.
It really does annoy me when people slag off The Hobbit trilogy because I think Jackson pulled off a miracle given what he had to work with.
@@bethcushway458 True. I wish more people knew that before trashing them. I like them!
@@pamelahofman1785 same here.
I read the Hobbit in the 6th grade back in the 70’s! Everyone who read the books was DELIGHTED to see that Peter Jackson PERFECTLY captured the world I envisioned in my mind as I read the books! ❤❤❤them! It all started with this first book, the Hobbit!
Jackson did pretty well except for no tom bombadil he was too powerful But everyone wanted to see him He was noted as 1 of the original and strongest wizards Of Middle of earth
@@terryconnelly484 Yes, it was disappointing Tom was left out. He was no wizard though, he was, as if middle earth itself. To him the ring was a trinket, of no concern.
@@terryconnelly484Tom Bombadill is no wizard. Tom Bombadill IS Middle Earth, or at least he was the first being to enter Middle Earth. When Frodo asked him who he is, he responds " Eldest". Tom Bombadill taught the Ents speach before there were Elves
@Jp421JP no one wanted to see a fat dude signing and dancing . Would've legitimately ruined the entire vibe of the trilogy
@kellytrimble7019 - I read the book around the same age and had never read anything like it before - fantasy fan from that time.
The 1st fantasy story I ever read. Followed by Lord of The Rings of course. Been hooked on fantasy ever since. So many good stories, so little time.
Oh really? You didn’t read LOTR first? That’s an interesting perspective 🤔
I know when I read LOTR I hadn’t realized it had a prequel (I was born in 81 & a teacher recommended LOTR) but I couldn’t get enough Tolkien & tried to get my hands on everything he wrote. 😅
@@Taewills Early 70s and I was into mythology. Found The Hobbit because of a sweet old librarian that saw my curiosity.
You should try reading the Xanth novels by Piers Anthony. They are so entertaining and David Eddings is another amazing fantasy writer with lots of awesome novels too.
Same for me. This book was on a reading list in my grade school and you got points for reading books. I've loved reading and fantasy ever since.
@@sueparras6028 I've read over 20 of the Xanth novels. Loved them. Plus a lot of other stuff by Piers.
Best line from Amber…”Don’t touch my cheese!” Hahaha. On a serious note, so glad you’re doing these and they were a fantastic addition to the entire series. Still my favorite franchise and I’ve watched a lot of them.
For all the "added stuff", the riddles Bilbo does are straight from the book. Fantastic scene. And. At the time, it's not hinted it is The One Ring.
Just a trinket.
and all the singing is in the book
@@emilmlodnicki3835although the song in the book was longer lol
You have to remember Galadrial is one of a very, very few in all of middle earth who have actually seen the light of The Two Trees, she has powers well beyond normal elves
Do they even know what the two trees are?
@@BubbaCoop yeah, didn't really think about that, they probably have no idea of the history of Middle Earth or of the Second Age
@@michaellockhart554guess they don’t read the comments we’ve given them on their trilogy reaction lmao. Too bad they don’t interact with the subscribers. All the biggest most successful channels do this. Heck. Even do videos addressing comments and letting them be discussion videos type of thing. Letting everyone’s voice be heard as CutterOne is doing. Building a community by and FOR fans of both Tolkien and many other cool things such as DragonLance and so many other things. ❤
And with the respect Gandalf gives her... he's five and a half thousand.. but a youth to her 😊
Wow! First read the Hobbit about 58 years ago. The adaptation is pretty darn good, as was the Lord of the Rings. ENJOY your trip to Middle Earth!!!
My favorite riddle, I have had it memorized since I 1st read Hobbit decades ago.
This thing all things devours;
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats mountain down.
I agree with Amber. LOTR’s is the pinnacle of movie making and Gollum/Sméagol is my favorite character of all time. If you haven’t already, check out his acceptance of his MTV Award! It is something special! 😁😁
@Amber your ability to keep track of the emotions and story makes me smile :). @J you love the fighting and brotherhood and you have a smile that makes others smile. So glad your watching these 3 as well
Nice read on both of them. They definitely are my favorite reactors on both of their channels
I'm so happy you guys are reacting to this series! I'm so excited!
When you watch the third film, The Battle of the Five Armies, you absolutely must watch the extended version it makes it so much more amazing, I didn't think it was possible. It's my favorite of the three
I think "The desolation of Smaug" is the best of the three. Love Beorn, Smaug, and even like the added character of Tauriel.
Peter Jackson said he was just trying to hurry up and finish this trilogy. he grew tired of it at this point and just wanted it to be over.
The extended Galadriel scene in this first film connects to battle of five armies but they didn’t watch the extended so….
@wendell6468 it's not that he was tired of it, it was his job to take over and hit the deadline for the wrap or finish. Peter Jackson was not the original director of the hobbit. Someone else was hired, and after they parted ways, Pete Jackson was then hired to direct and save the project.
I was thirteen and on a road trip to Washington State when my sister handed me The Hobbit paperback, I spent the rest of the summer in middle-earth with my new friends.
These movies really bring that world to life.😊
This was the book that put Tolkien on the map in the late 30s. This movie series didn't generate the buzz the Lord of the Rings trilogy did, but they were still wildly entertaining.
Tolkien wrote this book after world war II so it could not put him on the map in the 30s... your information is false.
I'm not trying to be mean I'm just pointing that out. The story of Lord of the Rings was reflection of the horrors that he saw during the war.
@@thomasheath9824 The Hobbit was published in 1937. Tolkien was a soldier during WWI. After The Hobbit, he spent years developing the languages of Middle Earth, and then he wrote The Lord of the Rings which was published in 1954. He intended it to be one book, but it's so long that the publishers broke it up into three books. Yes, they depict the horrors of war, as well as the close bonds that form between brothers in arms.
@@thomasheath9824 Tolkien was in WW1 but during WW2 it was his two grown sons who served. The Hobbit (There and back again) was first published Sept. 21, 1937. The Lord of the Rings: Tolkien wrote LOtR in stages between 1937 and 1949. It was originally published in three parts in the years 1954 and 1955. Although often called a trilogy, the work was intended by Tolkien to be one volume in a two-volume set along with The Silmarillion.
For economic reasons, The Lord of the Rings was first published over the course of a year from 29 July 1954 to 20 October 1955 in three volumes rather than one under the titles The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King; The Silmarillion appeared only after the author's death.
The work is divided internally into six books, two per volume, with several appendices of background material. These three volumes were later published as a boxed set, and even finally as a single volume, following the author's original intent.
@@thomasheath9824 No. And yes, but wrong war
@@thomasheath9824Your information is false. All of the devastation of war represented in Tolkien's works are from his experience in World War One.
BTW brutal wars in the Lord the Rings are walks in the park compared to those in The Silmarillion, his master work...his first work...his lifework
Unexpected journey indeed!! Keep em coming, this trilogy is epic
I don’t know what versions you watched, but the extended versions of both LOTR and The Hobbit are legit. Once you watch them, you’ll never watch the theatrical again. ❤
Not entirely. I think the Fellowship at least is better in the theatrical cut. Two Towers is indeed better extended. I'm torn on Return of the King.
@@Brejanrotk is worse in extended, you watch it every now and then for like the extra scenes but the theatrical is a much better movie.
@@Mini_Hayley I think theatrical but with the death of Saruman included at the beginning would be the best of both worlds.
So a fun fact: The Stone Giants are one of the most vexxing elements of Tokien's Legendarium because they show up in the Hobbit, but are never mentioned anywhere else directly. Its possible the entire passage is a colourful metaphor, describing the storm causing thunder and lightning strikes dislodging rocks and sending them careening with the wind to be a battle between great Stone Giants, but we cannot be sure.
The Hobbit was originally not a direct part of his Legendarium, at least not consciously. Some characters had cameos, like Gandalf and Elrond, but it was meant to be something of a standalone story. Eventually when he came to write a sequel (at the request of his publisher) and he began work on The Lord of the Rings he couldn't escape writing it all together with the wider mythology and tales he'd been writing his whole life. Later editions of The Hobbit were even edited slightly to reflect some of the things Tolkien changed for The Lord of the Rings, but the passage about the Giants remained untouched. The real world story of how he creating this incredible universe slowly and over the course of his entire life is fascinating.
The song, Misty Mountains Cold was done by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust (of Home Free). You guys NEED to hear it!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Also, Geoff Castellucci. He's a base singer like Tim Foust and has his own channel as well as singing A-Cappella with Voiceplay.
You guys know that meme with Pheobe and Rachel from Friends jumping up & down? That was me when I saw the title of this video. YAY!!!
We’re just so excited for you to get this apartment!!
Same!! 😃
@@jasonpratt3970 what?
Tolkiens works can teach us so many valuable life lessons. Remember that in the ultimate end it was Smeagol that wrestled the ring from Frodo and fell in to the fires of mount doom. It turns out that Bilbos pity saved the world haha.
This is a great quote from the first movie: “Frodo: 'It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill Gollum when he had the chance.'
Gandalf: 'Pity? It's a pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play in it, for good or evil, before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many."
⬆️ THIS!!! This right here. Bilbo could have shanked Gollum right then.
But his pity won the war. This was the moment Sauron was defeated.
hold on, it was Gollum searching for Bilbo that led to the dark lord learning the ring had been found and who/where it now could be found. if Bilbo had exterminated Gollum in the Goblin caves Sauron would of remained ignorant of it's existence for perhaps another 500 years or more. it was Gollums obsession for the ring that led to all that happened in the war of the ring. Sauron was confident his Wraiths would secure the possession of the one ring that allowed him to rush his plans for conquest, he was gambling on becoming all powerful before the allies could even react. Gollum plunged all into war through his personal jealousy.
@stevechurch4728 yes, but if Gollum wasn't there to attack Frodo and fall into the fire with the ring, Frodo would have left with it. He was about to keep it for himself before he got attacked by Gollum. Gollum not being there would have ensured it not being destroyed.
@@flu1dz they may never of had to do it at all if the lord Sauron had continued to believe the ring was never found. he would not of felt strong enough to start his war. becoming aware of the ring prompted his gamble to plunge the world into war.
@stevechurch4728 he was always looking for it, and he would have found it eventually. 500 years, 1000 years, 2 years.. he would have. But now it's destroyed forever and all the "what if's" and "maybe's" disappear. Who knows what would have happened if it wasn't destroyed? Perhaps nothing, perhaps the end of man altogether. All we know is what did happen. I do appreciate your logic, though! I fully get and understand it AND it's not wrong or misguided. It's just another "maybe" is all, and an interesting one :)
Oh Amber… you should know that if Bilbo had killed Gollum, Frodo would’ve kept the ring in Mount Doom. That Gollum bit off Frodo’s finger and danced off the precipice into the lava is what resulted off of Bilbo’s pity.
Gandalf actually says that pity of Bilbo would be the defining moment.
I am 63 years old and still every Fall I need to read The Hobbit and sometimes start the trilogy. But please take the time to read the book, if you don't mind. There are more characters that they just could not fit in the movie and more backstories to help explain things. I am so glad you have watched this movie. As always, God bless you and yours, and thanks for what you do.
Both franchises are fantastic! When you get through you all need to watch The Chronicles of Narnia series
Agreed!!!
Yes, I still find it amazing that Tolkien and Lewis were friends in a literary group known as the Inklings. They would read and offer constructive criticism about each other's work
Those are significantly different, but yes. Also, the 2nd Narnia movie feels - without being dirty - noticeably less like a kids movie. But they’re all good! Oh. And don’t let anyone tell you the green mist isn’t from the books. It’s in the 4th book, and shows up early in the 3rd movie to help things move at a movie’s pace.
I adore Radagast the Brown who is played by the legendary Sylvester McCoy who was the 7th Doctor in Doctor Who. The Hobbit was the first story I heard on audiobook on cassette from the library 35 years ago and fell in love with Middle Earth forever.
Many great artworks of this character. Don’t know why they had to keep him constantly covered in bird poop and stuff though. Lol. This is supposed to be Aiwendil who was sent by Yavannah.
Doctor Who, Yeah. The Hobbit read by Nicol Williamson, great, I love both too.
The ghost that Radagast saw was actually the Witch King of Angmar, the leader of the Nazgul.
Little ones are goblins. Orcs were invented by Tolkien and yeah they're larger. What's fascinating are all the varieties of languages and species created by Tolkien, for example, regular orcs and Uruk-Hai (the super orcs that slew Boromir). I believe there were 12 dialects of the Elvish language, including Sindarin and Quenya. The dwarvish script which you see on the maps. So much lore. It's really incredible what came from Tolkien's mind.
The term goblin refers to Orcs almost interchangeably. Although they often seem to be smaller than soldier Orcs.
Between 1910, and 1973, Tolkien created fifteen languages. Christopher Lee (Saruman The White), one of the most interesting people ever to grace our planet, was the only cast member, who, actually, once met J.R.R. Tolkien.
As a 10 year old I was sent on An Unexpected Journey into Middle Earth by our teacher, John Manning (Torbay Primary School NZ). We eagerly looked forward to each new reading as he brought the characters alive and we felt the strength of Tolkien's writing. Our imaginations were kindled as we grew to love this new world. Forever thankful.
I remember reading the Hobbit for the first time in middle school. I had watched the lord of the rings film at a drive in theater (outside) and was blown away by this fantasy world. That is when I learned from my best friend's father that they were based on books, but the first book that set up everything was the hobbit. such a great read. It is different from the lord of the rings books but a great introduction to Middle Earth for new fans.
ruclips.net/video/_G-SMBKcvMg/видео.htmlsi=JfCjM_RReuvvWFp4
I was in high school in the 70s and the Hobbit was required reading. It was my introduction to fantasy and I have loved it ever since.
I won't rest until the Rob Squad sees the movie - MATILDA ! All you commentators please join me .
Matilda is great!
A far cry from Lord of the Rings BUT still my second favourite film trilogy. If you've ever played tabletop games like D&D, this trilogy is pretty much like a tabletop campaign. A ragtag group on a grand adventure with many poor (but funny) decisions and crazy/silly happenings along the way. And at the end, all the emotions come to the front.
Also for the record if Bilbo got rid of Gollum, the ring would not have been destroyed, it would have found its way back to Sauron. Gollum was instrumental in the destruction of the ring and Sauron, even if he didn't know or intend it.
I never believed any of this . The story would've played out so much differently, that there's no way to say he was needed . If golum was dead he never would've ratted out the Baggins' . Bilbo still would've left after his bday and frodo would still have the ring. The journey to destroy it would have been vastly different and frodo may have not been corrupted bc the journey would be alot faster. So yes golum destroyed it in the end but also 80% of the fellowships problems wouldn't have happened if golum was dead
that is such a fantastic explaination, i LOVE it. I'm not sure it could be any more well put
@@GRIZY28 It's true that Gollum knew where the ring was, and directed the Nazgul to Shire. But if that hadn't happened, the ring would've still been in Frodo's hands, and it still would've corrupted him, eventually. Either that or Bilbo would have come back for it, since he was still attached to it even when he was close to death.
Gollum selling out the Shire actually set the plot to destroy the ring in motion.
The journey also would not be faster, since Frodo and Sam would still split up from the rest of the party due to the fear that the ring would corrupt all of them, but this time they would not have a guide. And during that time wandering around, the ring was already weighing on Frodo. The more time wasted, the more the ring could work on Frodo.
Sam was ready to go straight into the Black Gates, which would've spelled doom for both of them. Gollum was the one who pulled them away
Either Frodo would've died on his way to Mordor or he would've been captured and taken to Sauron if Gollum was dead. Hell, Saruman might have gotten the ring early on.
Gollum also acts as an anchor for Frodo, because Frodo says he has to believe Gollum can come back, otherwise he won't.
If I remember correctly d&d was based on the lotr
It’s not meant to be LOTR. it’s a different era.
The Hobbit has always been my favorite. As a kid in the late 70's grew up watching the cartoon adaptation. Was so excited for these movies.
The cartoon version is amazing.
"It is never wise to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, especially if you live near one!"
Martin Freeman is fantastic as Bilbo. "Gandalf is like the middle child." Love it.
"Evil people don't fight fair."
There's no such thing as a fair fight. If you are in a real fight where life and limb are at risk, don't you DARE worry about what's fair. You use every dirty trick, every cheap shot, every unfair advantage you can get to save your damn life.
I have to agree, those are my favorite movie series as well. The books are a wonderful experience as well, with much additional detail.
Remember this was written as a children's book in the late 30's
26:18 You just watched the trolls turn to stone. Now think back to Lord of The Rings when the party was headed toward Rivendell and they saw the stone trolls. One of them even referred to them as "Bilbo's Trolls"
in addition, this is the story Bilbo was telling the children at his birthday party in Fellowship of the Ring.
Sam told Frodo “ look Mr. Frodo it’s Bilbo’s Trolls!”
The songs in this movie were written by J RR Tolkien himself. Which is probably the reason why they're so good
They’re not even the full songs. Many full versions on RUclips via fully self composed works. Would you like some channel names to check out?
I have to admit "That is not normal." cracked me up so much that I had to pause for a minute! LOL! Wonderful reactions, and it's great that you get to experience this trilogy now.
As great as the movies are nothing beats the books. It took so long to make the movies because they couldn't do the books justice. I love the movies and adore the books. Thank you for letting me see your reactions to something I love so much.
The next movie series you watch, IMO, should be Star Trek.
Absolutely 👍
🖖😌
@@martinbraun1211🖖
I've been waiting for you guys to hit this one. While it's true that the Hobbit was a smaller book than LOTR, and many claim it was padded out to the hilt to make these 3 movies, you can't deny they are entering. You are lucky. They released these movies only 1 a year, you get to basically binge watch them!!
Sir Christopher, Sir Ian & Sir Peter were overwhelmingly friendly, supportive & humble. utmost pleasure to work with on set.
The carnage you seen the dwarves went through is not even half of what Galadriel went through. She was born before the sun & moon existed.
It was initially going to be 2 films directed by Guillermo Del Toro, but he dropped out, and to prevent filming being moved out of New Zealand, Peter Jackson stepped in even though he was woefully under prepared for it. I think the trilogy turned out quite well, although the pacing can feel a bit slow and padded at times. For comparison, The Lord of the Rings was 6 books released in 3 volumes and the Hobbit was 1 book.
Lord of The Rings is 3 books, not 6. It was one movie per book. The Hobbit should have been just one movie. It's literally the shortest book of the quadrilogy. Not even Fellowship of The Ring, the longest book in the series, could make for an entire movie trilogy.
Great movie. You guys should watch "Willow" with Warwick Davis and Val Kilmer
Yes, Willow is a great fantasy movie.
A good clue. The second dwarf that came in through Bilbo's door is Balin. He was the dwarf in the Tomb of Moria where you saw Gimli cry over his cousin's tomb. And the youngest dwarf and Thorin Oakenshield company was the skeleton holding the big book that Gandalf picked up to read before peppin knocked over the skeleton and bucket into the well
There is a 1980s animated movie called "Flight of the Dragons" that says Dragons covet gold because it is a soft metal and therefore the softest bedding they can have that won't catch fire while they sleep.
Finally, I love the first 2 of the trilogy but nostalgia may be a factor for me. Warchin these at the Cinema with my dad when i was like 8 is a childhood core memory for me
YAY!!! I've been waiting for this!
Gimli, from The Lord of the Rings, was the son of Gloin from the Hobbit.
Elijah Wood was 19 when they started filming The Lord of the Rings. He was 29 when they started filming The Hobbit. They had to digitally youthen him. Pretty good, huh?!
I'm not sure "youthen" is a word but if it's not it should be. It's so descriptive. 👍
@@DarqJestor I’ve heard it from movie special effects people, so if it wasn’t a word before, they needed it and alakazam! 🙂
@@aleatharhea Well I'm going to use it now too. Thanks!
this is my comfort trilogy and it makes me so happy to see other people enjoying it so much!
During the party in The Fellowship Of The Ring, there's a scene with Bilbo telling a story to a group of children. He's actually telling them about the troll encounter depicted in this movie.
Please watch "The Neverending Story".
The actor who plays Bilbo in these movies, Martin Freeman, also stars in the movie "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." I think you both would really enjoy it. It's based on the books by Douglas Adams, and is a comedic science fiction movie.
Not to mention playing Dr.Watson in the BBC Sherlock Holmes with Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes. And, Mr. Cumberbatch stars as the voice of Smaug in the next two movies of this Hobbit Trilogy.
While I am upset about the way the dwarfs barge in, I am glad they end up eating all the food because it be awful if any of it went to waste while Bilbo was away.
I love how she's become "one of us".
You are the most sympathic couple to do this reviews. I`m so glad to see the other videos about the Hobbit :)
Great review, enjoyed watching it. A couple notes about Bilbo's sword, Sting. Not only does it glow when Orcs and Goblins are around, but because it is of Elvish make, as mentioned in the books, these Elvish swords would slice its foes like butter. It didn't take a great swordsman to handle it. And Bilbo didn't kill Gollum because of what Gandalf said when he gave Bilbo the sword. Don't hastily take a life without real purpose.
Remember that when Bilbo found the ring Sauron was dead and it wasn't being sought by anyone yet. Plus he was terribly innocent. It didn't affect him much.
I can still remember the feeling of reading this as a kid back in the 80s. Way before any of the movies. I probably even did a book report on it.
Im glad you guys are getting into this. It gets a bad rap just because how good lotr was😊
Amazing reaction! I can’t wait to see your reaction for the next films! I must encourage you to look at any deleted or extended scenes from this film and watch the other two as well in the extended edition formats. There’s a lot more details and possible connections to the LOTR films as well. In this film, there was a deleted or extended scene where Elrond offers a place for Bilbo a place in Rivendell. As we remember it’s the same place that Bilbo goes to stay when he gives up the ring and his old age begins to take affect. Because now we had see Bilbo witnessed Rivendale‘s beauty and peace and tranquility. I love the connection to the first film with Frodo meeting Gandalf, and seeing the dwarfs cleaning Bilbo’s dishes and sing was one of my favorite moments. After this trilogy I highly recommend the series, The Rings of Power as it gives more details to other characters’ origin.

Interesting to learn about Jay's fear of birds. Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" may be a great Halloween treat.
I was ☠️☠️☠️☠️ at "Dead Troll Feet" lmfao imma start calling it that.😂😂😂
Remember in the LotR when Gandalf said he felt that Gollum still had some part to play, whether it be for good or ill? Gollum did show Frodo and Sam the secret pass into Mordor and the Hobbits' small size allowed them to sneak all the way to the fires of Mount Doom. Perhaps without Gollum and the knowledge of the secret passage, no one would have made it to destroy ring.
Glad to see you reacting to this! Looking forward to the next two! 🎉
The enmity between elves and dwarves goes back a very long way. Throughout their mutual history, each race found more grievances to remember against the others. That mutual distrust and hatred was finally put to rest by the friendship between Legolas and Gimli. Remember though, at the beginning, they only tolerated each other.
Also, in the Tolkein world, goblins and orcs are interchangeable. They were called goblins in The Hobbit and orcs in LOTR. Ultimately, they are a degenerate form of corrupted elf created by the first dark lord, Morgoth.
Love how you're cheering like you're at a football game. " ok, Baggins! And the " don't Jinx it, Baggins!" look.
Woo hoo! Finally! 3 more movies of this series! You saw King Thranduil in the beginning of the movie he resides in the Mirkwood Woodland Realm, you now see why the dwarfs have a grudge against the elves now. More exciting scenes to come! I enjoyed your reaction video! ☮️ and 💕
Becomes purified later on and becomes Eryn Lasgalen
The grudge is because of a certain singular clan of dwarves that fricken murdered the greatest elvish king who was born upon middle earth before the sun and moon named Elu Thingol! AKA Elwë (Finwë was his fave brother out of his 5 other bothers.) it’s very complex and so Galadriels gift to Gimli had multiple pronged significance which closes the gap between elves and dwarves. Ontop of that the ultimate dwarf friend was her eldest brother Finrod. Named Felagund by the dwarves of Nargothrond and gave him that dwarvish kingdom as a gift as they created and fortified it together. And Galadriel too was friends with them. Only named Galadriel but later on by Celeborn and she fell in love with it so much that she used it as what’s called the universal name instead of Nerwen or Artanis etc. ❤❤❤❤
I know a lot of people dump on The Hobbit trilogy, but it love it! ❤
Hey, guys, for your consideration on your next series, please react to The Hunger Games series, of which there are four movies based on three bestselling, impossible to put down, novels. You will love them, and Katniss will become one of your favorite movie heroes, ever. The movies are SO good!! ❤✌
The actors who played the dwarves really sang the somber song by Bilbo's hearth, and they sing it whenever they reunite.
Frodo would have never thrown the ring into Mount Doom... It took Golum to bite it off his finger! That's why Golum had to live.
Movie Request:
If you wanna see a HILARIOUS murder/mystery, then you've GOTTA watch this cult classic from 1985 called "Clue", which is a film adaptation to the popular board game. It features an ensemble cast, some of which you've already seen in previous movie reactions AND other well known films & TV shows. They INCLUDE:
Tim Curry ("The Rocky Horror Picture Show" as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York", as a hotel employee & "The Wild Thornberrys" as the voice of father Nigel Thornberry)
Christopher Lloyd ("Back to the Future" trilogy, as Doc Brown)
Michael McKean ("This is Spinal Tap", as David St. Hubbins)
Martin Mull ("Mrs. Doubtfire", "Rosanne", "Sabrina the Teenage Witch", "Danny Phantom" & "2 & 1/2 Men")
Lesley Ann Warren ("Victor/Victoria", "Songwriter", "Will & Grace" & "In Plain Sight")
Madeline Kahn ("Blazing Saddles" as Lili Von Shtupp)
Eileen Brennan ("Private Benjamin" (Movie AND TV show), "Jeepers Creepers", "Cheaper By the Dozen", "7th Heaven" & "Will & Grace")
BONUS: Jane Wiedlin (co-founder of The Go-Go's) has a small part as "The Singing Telegram Girl".
I would second this suggestion.
I will third this one!
Absolutely!
Fifthed!
If you like the feeling of magic, of something charming, and (weirdly) garden gnomes, you should watch "Amélie" (2001). It's french, so you'll have to live with subtitles, but it is delightful, and makes good use of a mysterious gnome.

Saruman was never serving Sauron anyway Tolkien stated he was his own rogue agent. He wished to subdue Sauron and keep the ring to keep him subdued but The Long Defeat also weighed heavily on his mind and so he was despairing and Maiar effect eachother greatly so Sauron slowly widdled him down until he could use his despair against him.
I love Amber! "Evil people don't always fight fair, do they?"
Whaaaat? I was not expecting this. It’s a good surprise! And for you guys to post this on September 22nd is perfect! Bilbo and Frodo’s birthday. Can’t wait to watch. These movies aren’t as great as LOTR in my opinion, but Martin Freeman is amazing as bilbo and getting to see more of the universe and hear the soundtracks is something everyone should experience at least once.
Glad you like the Hobbit. It got a lot of hate, but its an amazing set of movies. It was a shame they felt teh need to split the smallest book into 3 movies, but the other books only got 1 movie each.
Weirdly, it seems to me there's much more packed into The Hobbit than into each LOTR book. I probably just need to read them again.
@urthboundmisfit you're right. Peter Jackson explained that's exactly why The Hobbit is three movies. Being aimed at kids, The Hobbit was packed with action, stuff that translated well to film and which you just didn't want to leave out. Being aimed at adults, The Lord of The Rings was packed with page after page of dialogue and histories and poetry and songs, which just wouldn't have made for particularly compelling movie making. I'm rereading the LotR now, and I see exactly what he means.
I think people who poo poo the decision are just reacting to the number of books either without giving it much thought or without actually having read The Hobbit or the LotR.
@@aleatharhea Very true. I read LotR recently and its a slog, and I struggled to get through it. Its amazing for sure, but not "action packed" for movie reasons.
Galadriel is my favorite Tolkien character, and she is as badass in this trilogy as in LotR. Cate Blanchet is scary good at being an elf!
She read all his books too and her fave character is Galadriel believe it or not! She also said in the documentary of the hobbit that she’d come and do anything that has Galadriel in it so you’ll see her in his future films coming out.
We get to see Saruman before he was fully corrupted by Sauron. We get to see him still on the side of Light. Even though by then he had secretly been hunting for the Ring for himself.
I would like to point out that there is a rabbit hole of music covers of Tolkien's poems and songs from RUclips creators that I think you would REALLY like on your music channel. Clamavi de Profundis is one such channel that comes to mind. The Wellermen channel has a cover of Misty Mountains that is AWESOME!
I love Clamavi de Profundis! I always follow them on spotify.
@@GAdmThrawn Several of their arrangements and covers of LOTR songs and poems are my favorites!
Thanks for the great reaction!
Murdering Gollum would have corrupted Bilbo pretty fast. Like Gandalf said in the Mines of Moria it was pity to spare that saved Bilbo from the ring's influence for so long.
I enjoy these movies a lot even with the varying tone, The Hobbit was a children's book hence the whimsy often appearing, then the film will switch to the darker tone of LotR all of a sudden. It makes the film feel like two different stories stuck together at times. Also, they fill a lot out with action scenes because the studio wanted 3 movies of LotR length even though The Hobbit novel is barely a third the length of the LotR novel. Fun films none the less, for my druthers as a Tolkien fan, I enjoy them more than the LotR films. LotR is a better paced and told film series than The Hobbit but LotR has changes for film narrative that bug me more than the ones done for the Hobbit's film narrative.
Fili and Kili are actually Thorin's nephews. So even if Thorin did die in that scene, they would've been next in line for the throne. Which they never really explained the relations between the dwarves.
I love the fact that, in The Fellowship of the Ring," Bilbo is telling the children at his birthday party about his encounter with the trolls and later, Sam and Frodo come upon the trolls as stone statues and Sam says, "Look Mr. Frodo! Bilbo's trolls." It's a small thing but such a great call back.
This and The Lord of the Rings were/are fun books to read. I think you both would enjoy these two; Pitch Black ...followed by The Chronicles of Riddick.
Great movies too for riddick
When will ya'll finish this Trilogy?
Some fun trivia... Galadriel and Gandalf are the only charcaters who appear in all 6 lotr/hobbit movies.
This is like Star Wars. They both were filmed in the same order. 4,5,6 then 1,2,3.
You two should really really really watch the hunger games trilogy. I’m sure you’d absolutely love it and for the fact that the prequel is coming out in theatres in November.
Unfortunately as a fan of the book this trilogy is not something I’m a fan of. Peter Jackson took one children’s book of 300 and something pages and and spun it out into trilogy that bears little resemblance to the book. The 3 Lord of the Rings books are each over 400 pages and each had a film, yet this smaller book gets 3, which means padding that often distorts the story. I could even have lived with 2 films, but 3 just takes it too far. I appreciate the art and the effects but as an adaptation of the book it’s so disappointing, especially after the Lord of the Rings films.
Lol, Amber is sooo much fun to watch these movies with!!🤣🤣 Love you guys keep it up!
Bilbo's mercy in sparing Gollum saves Middle Earth. Remember that Frodo is corrupted by the Ring. It is only because Gollum bites the Ring off his finger, and they struggle over it, that the Ring is destroyed.
