Haldir was so gorgeous. I wish they had more scenes with him..... but in typical Games of Thrones fashion (the show that likes to kill off everyone) he ended up dying. Terrible 🤦🏾♀️
I hate that they took out so many parts of the theatrical movie that made Boromir look so much more .... human. Less evil and corrupted. Boromir was a good guy with a good heart, but still a man. That's the way they should have kept it.
Kosh800 Yes. Some of them were essential to the plot and character building. I’m glad I saw the extended editions. Made me see Boromir and Faramir in a different light. They were good honourable & brave men. They just had a lousy dad.
@G E T R E K T If you remember, in the books Legolas dodges their arrows like that scene in the matrix, and then does nerve pinches on all of them, but uses elvish magic to enhance his nerve pinches.
The elves being as good as they were, also had to cope with a lot. The elves were the most tormented beings of middle earth. They are immortal and their perception of existence is a lot different than anyone else in middle earth. Everything to the elves was fleeting, and everything they experienced felt brief to them. What feels like many years to men, feels like one year to the elves. Everyone they knew throughout their lives seemed to expire very quickly. The elves always struggled with this, and its why many elves gave up their immortality to fight for the free peoples of middle earth.

"Gandalf's death was not in vain, nor would he have you give up hope. You carry a heavy burden, Frodo. Don't carry the weight of the dead." Scenes like this one really make me feel for Boromir, and I wish all of Boromir's extra scenes had been kept in the theatrical versions. They really add to his character and really add to the gravity of the scene when he falls.
Ever notice how Boromir becomes 'bad' only in the presence of the ring? He was weak towards Sauron's magic. But other than that, there are only good things you can say about him.
@@radumarinescu355 Well yeah, he wasn't really bad, and being drawn in by the ring isn't entirely from any weakness of his own. A lot of it is pressure by Denethor on him and also the constant burden of knowing his people are dying and suffering to keep Sauron's forces at bay. Any man would be weakened by all that pressure and stress. He really is trying to do what's best for Gondor, even if a bit misguided at times.
I seriously think now that Boromir’s individual scenes were kept in the theatrical, as well as Saruman’s and perhaps that of the Mouth of Sauron and the scenes with Faramir and Eowyn. And that’s it. Some of the extra scenes repeated and I could see how or why they were cut. Like the spoiler about the Dead Men. Theatrical made it a surprise.
The fact that everyone just looks at Frodo with some form of judgement besides Aragorn who is trying to fight Frodo's case and Boromir who tries to make Frodo feel better about everything that's happened.
I love how gimli was the most suspicous and foolhardy and yet he's the one who "fell under her spell" and was so smitten with the lady of light that after all those years he had to sail west just to behold the lady of light once more. Not only that the 3hairstrands become a family heirloom 😍
He saw past the fearmongering rumours and saw her for the beautiful kind spirit she is. His Dwarven heart softened, something few beings are capable in inducing
I love the way Haldir greets Legolas by calling him son of Tranduil, the way Haldir face looks so serious and solemn when he said Tranduil name tells so much of how well respected Legolas father is to most elfs and it makes such a huge impact for Legolas whenever he goes,...LOL... xD Thranduil is after all one of the most ancient elfs in middle earth, maybe second to the great Lord Elrond himself,... ^^
Elrond is probably quite a bit younger than Thranduil, though he is certainly very old. Galadriel is definitely older than Elrond though. She’s his old friend who’s kind of like that cool older cousin to him, though they aren’t related. And when Elrond got married… Galadriel became his mother-in-law! She is Arwen’s maternal grandmother! Her and Elrond are still ride or die besties though. Good for them.
@@notmyrealname3576 Galadriel and Elrond are related. They are both direct descendants of Finwe. Finwe is Galadriels Grandfather and also the grandfather of her Cousin Turgon, who himself is Elronds Great-Grandfather.
The eye shot at 0:28 is 🔥 It's such a subtle and yet evocative way of demonstrating Galadriel's power and conveying the unsettling sense that Caras Galadhon and its elves have. An excellent choice by the filmmakers.
Spectans1 truly ! One of the few great men left in Gondor and feared even by the Witch King. Maybe not a Dunedain but a true descendant of Dunedain. For Gondor !
Why do people still care about this stuff, the theatrical release was 15 years ago. Let it go already and be happy PJ released the uncut version as I'm sure he was planning to anyways.
One of the few times in the film when Boromir offered words of consolation and comfort to Frodo. Throughout most of the film, there was an edginess to their relationship because of Boromir's seduction by the Ring.
Boromir had possession of the ring and still managed to give it back to Frodo. The movies made him look weak when in the books he is loyal and strong willed. He is just the most desperate to defeat the dark lord and the ring prays on his desperation. Had the fellowship stayed together the same would have happened to the rest.
@@sacjones7341 it could be argued that the ring sensed that when Boromir had it that one time, it didn't exert its will then because they would have caught him. Easier to bide its time and wait until Boromir was alone with Frodo. And I disagree that the movies made him look weak, because he clearly isn't. But he *is* vulnerable because of how desperate he is turn the tide and save Gondor. Again, that isn't a weakness, it's a very human thing to feel the pride of being the land that holds the darkness at bay while also fearing that their time is short and no one seems to be coming to help them.
I wish they would have had the scene where they finally get to take off their blindfold and visit Cerin Amroth. Aragorn has one of my favorite quotes on the book. "Here is the heart of Elvendom on Earth and here my heart dwells ever, unless there be a light beyond the the dark roads that we still must tread, you and I. Come with me!"
They changed that around in the movie so when Faramir met Frodo and Sam they were blindfolded to add emotion and a sense of haste to their meeting. A lot of the books quotes or inner monologues were also given to different characters. So Sam seeing the Haradrim and wondering if "They were really evil at heart" was given to Faramir in the movie.
Since this is a movie, a visual medium, I believe they felt it was more important for the audience to see the actors' eyes. Also, while Lothlorien is clearly wonderful in the movie, Peter Jackson really wants to drive home the uncertainty of the quest following Gandalf's death. That's why the music is so ambivalent for Lothlorien, by turns foreboding and wondrous but never clear in tone.
Haldir: Mae govannen, Legolas Thranduilion - /Welcome Legolas, son of Thranduil. Legolas: Govannas vin gwennen le, Haldir o Lórien - /Our Fellowship stands in your debt, Haldir of Lórien. Haldir: A Aragorn in Dúnedain istannen le ammen - /Aragorn of Dúnedain, you are known to us. Gimli: Ishkhaqwi ai durugnul - I spit upon your grave.
to be clear, what Gimli said is Neo-Khuzdul. so basicly what he said isn't made by Tolkien and thus isn't actually of the dwarfen language, but actually made up by the writters of the movie to fill in the blanks. this means that, although maybe the writers might have said in a inverview that is what it meant, it isn't a actual translation.
I love the set so much. When I sat in the movie theater I felt the fresh magic air, smelled the elves, a crisp, elegant fragrance and the leather of their armory and clothes. They did a damn good job at portraying the magic and subtle power of the elves and their realm.
Amazing and interesting of Lothlorien elves to surprisingly sneak up on the fellowship with their blows and arrows, with Legolas getting out his bow and arrow on them.
Legolas has been and always will be the one who makes me go "just marry me already" everytime he's on screen. *he's the only reason I watch The Hobbit and LOTR💀*
Haldir's mind- Legolas-->hmm I don't like him but at least he's one of us Aragorn-->ok so I'll pretend to greet him anyway as he's a descendent of Isildur The Rest-->>Who the hell are these guys?? Fuck off.....
Aragorn passed through Lothlorien before, in his 20s. He returned later and pledged himself to Arwen in Lothlorien as well. He was also pretty much the brother of Elrond's twin sons Elladan and Elrohir, who sent messages to and from Rivendell and Lothlorien
For reference! What Gimli says at 1:35 is "Ishkhaqwi ai durugnul" which literally means "I spit onto your grave" in Khuzdul, Tolkien's dwarven language. If so, that explains Aragorn reaction 😬
@@average...enjoyer5667 Apparently, Thorin also says that when his fellow Dwarves and himself were in the Elven dungeons. It's quite hard to hear It's definitely not a pleasant phrase
They should have kept this. 1 Boromir, however his name spelt. He was so kind and comforting to Frodo when he seemed to need it and on Gandalf. And it showed they didn't welcome them in right away like it was so easy when theres tales of people being scared to go in the woods
you noticedd how Haldir just skips over Boromir right? Many Men of the South erre not welcomed by elves other than those who dwell in Imaldris. Stems from when men took the ring of power instead of destroying it seen earlier in the film
Tel W the men of the south ( like Boromir) and the North (like Aragorn) are pretty much the same ...they both descend from Númenor. But there is a difference too: the men of the south ( Gondor) lost almost completely their "royal blood" for a civil war called the Kinstrife. But the men of the North kept their royal blood and remain as Dunedain. But the kingdom of Arnor (North) was destroyed by the Witch King of Angmar , and they became a wondering people.
This is wrong. Boromir and the current rulership of Gondor are not well known to the men of Lothlorien, especially since he is of the Stewards' line and not the king. His people actually drew a border at the Argonath (the two massive statues we see later) and Gondor went no further north. The Elves themselves don't know much of the outside world in the book, with Haldir stating that even his own brothers don't speak the Common Tongue. If anything it's Gondor that has a beef with Lothlorien, as their previous king Amdir almost lost the War of the Last Alliance by foolishly charging Sauron's forces. Aragorn on the other hand is well known to Lothlorien as he was raised by Elrond to adulthood and actually travelled there to rest after long journeys in the wild. Had he come alone or with Legolas, there would be no problems.
@G E T R E K T First, read my comment again, but slowly. I said "almost completly". Second, don't call me a liar, since clearly after the Kinstrife the blood of Numenor faded and barely remained in people like the Stewards and the men of Dol Amroth like Imrahil. If you are gonna acuse someone of being a liar, at least read better and use better ideas.
They made everything look so dark and gloomy in the movies... In the book lothlorien was one of my favorite parts because of how it was described. So beautiful with golden trees and ground... clear streams and a light that was so bright you could see the darkness on the other side of the anduin. Oh and the elves were so serious throughout the movies.... In this scene the elves were actually laughing when they came onto the group.
Hannah Rewis You know, the only thing I wish Jackson hadn't changed in the movies was Glorfindel when he saved Frodo from the Nazgul. But reading this comment now makes me wish they had depicted Lothlorien like in the book.
No wonder I was confused reading the book all these years later and thinking that scene didn't even make it into the movie because the description sounded like nothing in Jackson's movies.
these elves looks so beautiful i swear only westerner movies can pull of the faces/looks of these fictional folklore fantasy characters... i mean look at their faces even the dwarfs looks like in the cartoon bring back to life or something...
You know.. Galadriel and Celeborn are a lot older than Elrond or Thranduil. They both come from Valinor and both hold the great power of the Eldar (Galadriel destroyed Dol Guldur with her magic) Thranduil and Elrond are great elf lords but not the oldest nor the most powerful!
I can't believe they made Legolas point an arrow at the other elves in the movies. Seriously, where do they think they are? The Dark Ages? Geez. He's not a kinslayer. Elves take that very seriously.
Yes, but the days of kinslaying are long past. Based on calculations, Legolas is 5000 years old at best, but most people assume that he was born after Sauron's defeat, so he'd be a bit under 3000 years old. By then, kinslaying was already an unforgivable crime to the Elves, wasn't it?
I get your point good sir, but i really don't think that the "guardian elves" of the woods are over acting. They do what they must. I would do the same if i were him. Nothing wrong about it
People will always mention how they did Haldir dirty in these movies but really it’s Boromir who deserved more screen time. All of his lines are so much more meaningful than the other characters.
Once upon a time I dreamed of Lothlorien. Today finally I have time to find the forgotten songs of the elves. Yes, I found a few already and put them here. Welcome to my channel.
Did Craig gain a bit of weight for this role or the light hair brings out what’s already there?? His dark hair and also role as Darken Rahl looks a bit thiner.
Haven't seen it in the comments yet, its just probably that obvious, but this scene shows what Galadriel shows Frodo in the water mirror. When everyone looks over at Frodo with scowls.
Haldir's fate was never known in the books or even the appendix entries. From a dramatic stand point, while many Elves are leaving Middle Earth to avoid the War of the Rings, Haldir's soldiers must have chosen the prospect of a glorious death in the Helm's Deep battle over retreat.
The book had this better. They attempt to climb trees to hide from pursuing orcs from Moria but find elves up there in treehouses. Legolas and the hobbits only are allowed to climb as Elrond already made them aware of Frodos mission and its Legolas and Frodo who debate for Gimli and the men to pass. Meanwhile when elves are busy watching orcs gollum climbs the tree to show his eyes to a scared Frodo with a dark Sting drawn.
How did they have this conversation about Gandalphs death yet none of the elves heard them? It was a surprise to all the elves when they told Galadriel.
Since owning the extended versions, I am so mad to discover that SEVERAL OF MY FRIENDS, ADDING MYSELF--- seem to have hallucinated the part where they are all blindfolded for this. It's strange, because i recalled seeing them blindfolded as a kid. And it's the weirdest feeling and my brain does not want to believe that all of us got it confused with the book. The betrayal lmaoooo! It had been a long time since i had watched the extended versions, and i had only been reading the books.... So my braid just... I STILL CAINT GET OVER THE FACT THAT IT WASN'T JUST ME. my brain could swear it was in here. But we got it confused with faramir blindfolding Frodo & sam
It’s too bad they cut all this from the theatrical version. Then when this dude shows up at helms deep and everyone is like oh look that elf we all know is here to save us. And the audience is like who the hell is this guy?

This part in the book is more wondrous and mystical. Plus they were all blindfolded.
I wish they would have had the scene where they finally get to take off their blindfold and visit Cerin Amroth. Aragorn has one of my favorite quotes on the book.
"Here is the heart of Elvendom on Earth and here my heart dwells ever, unless there be a light beyond the the dark roads that we still must tread, you and I. Come with me!"
I know right... letting them go with their eyes wide open took away a bit of Lothlórien’s magic

A lot of the books quotes or inner monologues were also given to different characters. So Sam seeing the Haradrim and wondering if "They were really evil at heart" was given to Faramir in the movie.

He show respect to Legolas cause he's son of the great
Aragorn passed through Lothlorien before, in his 20s. He returned later and pledged himself to Arwen in Lothlorien as well. He was also pretty much the brother of Elrond's twin sons Elladan and Elrohir, who sent messages to and from Rivendell and Lothlorien
Legolas is standing really close the Haldir at the end.
It was before corona😀
@@danielfence189 hahahha
damn i would be too
XD
@@21fandoms17 me too 😂, he's so ethereal.
it's just a hot elf standing next to a hot elf... i love them both
Omg, imagine talking with Haldir in Elvish, 🤤😍
I love these movies...such beautiful masterpieces!
Haldir's voice..I come here for his voice
SAME
so gentle 😍
Same he's like a real elf 🧝♂️
Aragorn's face at 1:36 is priceless
Did Aragorn know what Gimli's Dwarvish meant or did he just use Gimli's tone of voice to understand that it was an insult?
@@corriehingston6744 right? Cause I’m like what did he say
@@lorddracula306 Basically Gilmore said he shits on the elf’s corpse.
@@corriehingston6744 I think Gimli said “I spit on your grave” in Dwarvish.
@@khfan4life365 Yeah. But did Aragorn know what this meant or did he use Gimli's tone of voice to understand that it was an insult?
For reference! What Gimli says at 1:35 is "Ishkhaqwi ai durugnul" which literally means "I spit onto your grave" in Khuzdul, Tolkien's dwarven language. If so, that explains Aragorn reaction 😬
When Gimli cursed at Haldir I couldn't help but laugh :)
Ishkhaqwi ai durugnul
@@average...enjoyer5667 Apparently, Thorin also says that when his fellow Dwarves and himself were in the Elven dungeons. It's quite hard to hear
It's definitely not a pleasant phrase
@@corriehingston6744 apparently it means "I spit upon your grave." So no, it's not very nice.
Am i the only one who hears Galadriel say "Frodo dodo dodo dodo..''
Hello how are you
@@mohammedkhazal921 Dodoing well my dear fellow.
@@raesmith2164 hahashahahahabzghahaagaghahagagahahajahahhahaha
gotta love Haldir♡♡😙so much:-) my heart broke when he died:-( 😭😭😭
I like how big haldirs elves bows are and how perfect the Fletcher are on the arowws
They should have kept this. 1 Boromir, however his name spelt. He was so kind and comforting to Frodo when he seemed to need it and on Gandalf. And it showed they didn't welcome them in right away like it was so easy when theres tales of people being scared to go in the woods
Greets the Elf, Greets Aragorn, trades words with Gimli, speaks to the hobbies, then there's Boromir...
you noticedd how Haldir just skips over Boromir right? Many Men of the South erre not welcomed by elves other than those who dwell in Imaldris. Stems from when men took the ring of power instead of destroying it seen earlier in the film
Tel W the men of the south ( like Boromir) and the North (like Aragorn) are pretty much the same ...they both descend from Númenor. But there is a difference too: the men of the south ( Gondor) lost almost completely their "royal blood" for a civil war called the Kinstrife. But the men of the North kept their royal blood and remain as Dunedain. But the kingdom of Arnor (North) was destroyed by the Witch King of Angmar , and they became a wondering people.
lol
This is wrong. Boromir and the current rulership of Gondor are not well known to the men of Lothlorien, especially since he is of the Stewards' line and not the king. His people actually drew a border at the Argonath (the two massive statues we see later) and Gondor went no further north. The Elves themselves don't know much of the outside world in the book, with Haldir stating that even his own brothers don't speak the Common Tongue. If anything it's Gondor that has a beef with Lothlorien, as their previous king Amdir almost lost the War of the Last Alliance by foolishly charging Sauron's forces.
Aragorn on the other hand is well known to Lothlorien as he was raised by Elrond to adulthood and actually travelled there to rest after long journeys in the wild. Had he come alone or with Legolas, there would be no problems.
@G E T R E K T First, read my comment again, but slowly. I said "almost completly". Second, don't call me a liar, since clearly after the Kinstrife the blood of Numenor faded and barely remained in people like the Stewards and the men of Dol Amroth like Imrahil.
If you are gonna acuse someone of being a liar, at least read better and use better ideas.
Craig Parker is so manly that even as an Elf he has a shadow of his beard.
Haldir is hot :-)
Go watch Spartacus: Vengeance and you see him naked lol
:-)
So hot (:
Thranduil❤ is so hot,more than Haldir
its a matter of taste :-)
They made everything look so dark and gloomy in the movies... In the book lothlorien was one of my favorite parts because of how it was described. So beautiful with golden trees and ground... clear streams and a light that was so bright you could see the darkness on the other side of the anduin. Oh and the elves were so serious throughout the movies.... In this scene the elves were actually laughing when they came onto the group.
Hannah Rewis You know, the only thing I wish Jackson hadn't changed in the movies was Glorfindel when he saved Frodo from the Nazgul. But reading this comment now makes me wish they had depicted Lothlorien like in the book.
+Silmarien Ingoldo The scene was changed in the animated version with Legolas saving Frodo rather than Glorfindel.
Rachel Sheppard This also sucks :/
No wonder I was confused reading the book all these years later and thinking that scene didn't even make it into the movie because the description sounded like nothing in Jackson's movies.
I love orlando bloom
Urwa Nazir me to girl!!!!!!
He makes Craig looks.. fat.
these elves looks so beautiful i swear only westerner movies can pull of the faces/looks of these fictional folklore fantasy characters... i mean look at their faces even the dwarfs looks like in the cartoon bring back to life or something...
Also. His voice is hot
Yeah it is
Halidir is such a hunk of an elf, although he looks more like an elf than The Rings of Power cast. Lmao.
You know.. Galadriel and Celeborn are a lot older than Elrond or Thranduil. They both come from Valinor and both hold the great power of the Eldar (Galadriel destroyed Dol Guldur with her magic)
Thranduil and Elrond are great elf lords but not the oldest nor the most powerful!
Oh come on Haldir. Merry and Pippin are trouble but I wouldn't exactly call them great evil. 😂😂😂
The "great evil" was a reference to the ring, not Merry & Pippin : )
@@nicholaslawrence6926 omg really! OP should definitely have made a joke about that.
@@lisahenry20 You are having your period, no doubt.
Haldir would have called it your "monthly great evil".
@@nicholaslawrence6926 erm 1) no I'm not and 2) why would you just assume that?
@@lisahenry20 it is not assuming, it is logical.
When I first watched this scene as a kid I thought Legolas was pointing his arrow towards the fellowship and double crossed them.
No, he was protecting the fellowship by pointing his arrow at the other elves.
That head turn at 2:15 is just.....mmmm
1:36 Aragorns like "Dammit Gimli... Just why?..."
The elves are so graceful and mindful.
John Robinson and arrogant I would add.
They have seen so much.
@@MultiEvil85You know that is some rule? That is a chimerical point based on zip
I can't believe they made Legolas point an arrow at the other elves in the movies. Seriously, where do they think they are? The Dark Ages? Geez. He's not a kinslayer. Elves take that very seriously.
How can one knows if he is not a kinslayer.You know in the past Noldor slayed so many Teleri which is their kin that they cant trust a foreigner.
Yes, but the days of kinslaying are long past. Based on calculations, Legolas is 5000 years old at best, but most people assume that he was born after Sauron's defeat, so he'd be a bit under 3000 years old. By then, kinslaying was already an unforgivable crime to the Elves, wasn't it?
I get your point good sir, but i really don't think that the "guardian elves" of the woods are over acting. They do what they must. I would do the same if i were him. Nothing wrong about it
"Sorry guys....just went face to face with a Balrog. Still a little jumpy. Anyone got any of that hobbit weed?"
pfft
A movie in this universe can’t go by without characters getting threatened by elf arrows to the face
People will always mention how they did Haldir dirty in these movies but really it’s Boromir who deserved more screen time. All of his lines are so much more meaningful than the other characters.
His voice...wow its so beautiful and sexy ❤❤
Once upon a time I dreamed of Lothlorien. Today finally I have time to find the forgotten songs of the elves. Yes, I found a few already and put them here. Welcome to my channel.
Thank you
Haldir was my favorite elf in lord of rings. Loglas is my favorite elf in lord of rings.
He is favorite my elf and Legolas. And haldir
seen similar to the hobbit when legolas captures thorin
I like Sean Bean's Boromir here. Flawed, yes but he's a good man.
Did Craig gain a bit of weight for this role or the light hair brings out what’s already there?? His dark hair and also role as Darken Rahl looks a bit thiner.
Elves are so graceful. It hurts 🥺 ❤️💜
Haven't seen it in the comments yet, its just probably that obvious, but this scene shows what Galadriel shows Frodo in the water mirror. When everyone looks over at Frodo with scowls.
Haldir's fate was never known in the books or even the appendix entries.
From a dramatic stand point, while many Elves are leaving Middle Earth to avoid the War of the Rings, Haldir's soldiers must have chosen the prospect of a glorious death in the Helm's Deep battle over retreat.
Fave scene of that movie tbh
To realize that this movie is older today than The Empire strikes back was when this was released is quite the thing.
Haldir is bae and I can't be swayed.
facts are facts 😎
The book had this better. They attempt to climb trees to hide from pursuing orcs from Moria but find elves up there in treehouses. Legolas and the hobbits only are allowed to climb as Elrond already made them aware of Frodos mission and its Legolas and Frodo who debate for Gimli and the men to pass. Meanwhile when elves are busy watching orcs gollum climbs the tree to show his eyes to a scared Frodo with a dark Sting drawn.
Boromir with some genuine quality here
"A dwarf breathes so loud we could've shoot him in the dark." Yeah, I'm awesome and I know it
The dwarf not a dwarf.
@@Ella-te7fe 3 years have passed, calm down
How did they have this conversation about Gandalphs death yet none of the elves heard them? It was a surprise to all the elves when they told Galadriel.
Since owning the extended versions, I am so mad to discover that SEVERAL OF MY FRIENDS, ADDING MYSELF---
seem to have hallucinated the part where they are all blindfolded for this. It's strange, because i recalled seeing them blindfolded as a kid. And it's the weirdest feeling and my brain does not want to believe that all of us got it confused with the book. The betrayal lmaoooo! It had been a long time since i had watched the extended versions, and i had only been reading the books.... So my braid just... I STILL CAINT GET OVER THE FACT THAT IT WASN'T JUST ME. my brain could swear it was in here. But we got it confused with faramir blindfolding Frodo & sam
That’s the effect of having read the books hhahahahah!
happened to me too and same with Harry Potter series
3:10 I want a lot More Scenes that look like that
He is one of my favourite Elfs, What i care more in this serie movies.
My 10 year old self was so confused when I saw Haldir in Two Towers. Shouldn't of cut this scene out Petey lol
It’s too bad they cut all this from the theatrical version. Then when this dude shows up at helms deep and everyone is like oh look that elf we all know is here to save us. And the audience is like who the hell is this guy?
hoy me soñe con mi crush Haldir, por eso estoy aqui, lo amo!!
0:51 Legolas will not surrender no matter what 🤣
I can't watch this movie without screaming '"GLABER!" Whenever haldir appears
I can watch Spartacus without shouting "HALDIR" when he appears on screen
Aragorn: "Caras Galadhon"
Legolas: "Caras Galadhon"
Haldir: "Caras Galadhon, the heart of--"
Gimli: It's only a model.
Merrell and pipin's expression was funny when they saw arrows at them
Haldir: Mae Govannen, Legolas Thranduillion
Legolas: Govannas vin gwennen le, Haldir o Lorien.
Haldir: (turns to Aragorn) Ah... Aragorn in Dunedain, istannen le ammen.
Aragorn: (acknowledges Haldir)
Gimli: So much for the legendary courtesy of the elves! Speak words we can all understand!
Haldir: We have not had dealings with the dwarves since the dark days.
Gimli: And you know what this dwarf says to that? Ishkhaqwi ai Durugnul!!!
Aragorn: (slaps Gimli on the shoulder) That was not so courteous.
Really enjoyed the clip, pity it was cut short at the end. Would have been good to see them ascend up the tree trunk spiral staircase.
I've been watching Reign, had NO IDEA the actor who plays Narcisse is Haldir. he looks so different, still same sexy voice ;)
well he's also a werewolf in Underworld Rise of the Lycans....seems like he can pull off many species xD
I could only stand to watch a few minutes of Reign.
Now I'm going to search for Craig in it. Just because it's him.
For those that say Legolas has an endless supply of Arrows lol look closely
mm Legolas speaking elvish. My favourite :P
Caras Galadhon.. the heart of Elvendom on earth. Haldir sounds a little doped up when he says this.
Was this a deleted scene? Never seen it this way before.
GIMLI: So much for the legendary courtesy of the Elves! Speak words we can also understand!
HALDIR: We have not had dealings with the dwarves, since the dark days.
GIMLI: And do you know what this Dwarf says to that? Ishkhaqwi ai durugnul! (I spit upon your grave!)
ARAGORN: (slapping his hand on Gimli's shoulder) That! was not so courteous!
???: That's my Wee-Lad Gimli! Sooo courteous, lad!
oh I love his sexy voice
