"I will not say do not cry, for not all tears are an evil." Gandal
Ahaha i actually love this
No worries dude. Everyone cries in Return of the king. I saw it in the cinema and I've never seen a place full of men openly crying by the end of the movie.
Cringe
You know that would of actually set me off more if I saw a room full of people feeling the same way, but for real I think you can’t help but feel the emotions in this movie it’s actually written soo well.
@@RicoPresentsmy waterworks started when everyone bowed down to the hobbits 🥹. It was downhill from there lol
@@EMANUGARCshut up. You’re just a repressed sad dude
@@Taewills that moment always gets me too 🧡
56 year old Gen-X here. I never cry but the “you bow to no one” every time tightens my chest and moistens my eyes...
And indeed, Sam is the real hero here.
Honestly, for me, the more emotion you show, the greater the reaction!! We want to see how what you're watching moves and connects with you, that's what reaction videos are all about for me. Great video! 👏👏
I really appreciate that johannaa you know see you like I can express my feelings openly with you guys definitely means a lot and it makes me feel like for future reactions. If I do feel that way I can lean into it more.
I cried with you bro. You proved that your genuine. More power!
I really appreciate you, bro. It’s such an emotional scene. I think it’s just one of those things where you just can’t help it but thanks for your comment and for your support
Not only was Sam a great family man, but he went on to be elected mayor of the Shire for seven consecutive terms. Merry and Pippin went on to become court officials for the kingdoms of Rohan and Gondor, respectively, and Rosie became a lady of the court for Arwen. Gimli and Legolas finally healed the rift between dwarves and elves, and they, along with Sam at the end of his life after Rosie died, eventually were granted passage to the undying lands where Frodo and Bilbo went. Sam because he was actually a ring bearer for a while (it was a few days in the book) and Gimli because of the unique friendship he had with Legolas. It's safe to say Gimli got to see Lady Galadriel again.
Merry became the Master of Buckland and Pippin became the Thane of the Shire. They were all 3 big deals by the end.
Sam and Rosie's daughter Elanor became Queen Arwen's Lady in Waiting.
@@brettpeacock9116 thanks. I remembered something, but I was off by one generation.
Something not covered in the movies... something that gives the story a little something extra special...
Sam has a long and happy life, lots of kids. Merry and Pipin have lots of adventures and when they die, they are buried next to Aragorn.
Sam and Gimli are granted passage into the West they sail into Valinor, and Legolas builds a ship for the 3 of them to sail into The West. I don't think it is said in any books if Sam and Frodo saw each other again, but I'd like to believe they lived the rest of their lives among Elves.
But Gollum DIDN'T spoil everything, did he? He SAVED the whole shebang! It was his fate to ensure the destruction of the ring even though he loved it more than life itself!! 🙂
It is one of the scariest scenes, with Shelob sneaking up on Frodo, especially how silent she was
I legit feel like they thought what creature can we get that would terrify everyone, from humans to hobbits to even orks LOL we’ll have a gigantic spider, 😅 it worked!!!
Sams daughter who runs up to him at the very end is Sean Austins real daughter
Shows why LOTR is just so so so good. You end up caring so much by the end of Return of The King. I always shed a couple tears during the last act
Eomer. Take your Èored down the left flank.
Gamling, follow the King's banner down the center.
Grimbold, take your company right, after you pass the wall.
Forth, and fear no darkness!
I enjoyed your reactions; everyone cries during RotK.
Denethor, in the book, isn’t a raging psychopath until Faramir is brought in. He isn’t a likable character, but he is someone you can respect. He has been trying to get the city prepared for war, and he didn’t try to murder his son. Denethor had a palantir and used it to spy on Sauron. Sauron used his palantir to feed Denethor half-truths and lies, amplifying Denethor’s fear and despair, eventually driving him mad.
See, I wish they could’ve showed that in the movie because all I got from it was he was just lost doing his own thing and I really didn’t understand that from what I saw even if they showed him being manipulated I could’ve got behind it. I think an extended addition is something they should’ve done.
@@RicoPresents I agree. They could have done it in a short scene that showed him looking into a palantir and having Sauron show him Minas Tirith falling. Even if they left it out of the theatrical release,it would have been a fun extra scene. I’m looking forward to seeing you react to the Hobbit. Very minor spoiler: it’s Bilbo’s story.
There's nothing wrong with crying. Everyone that is sure they wont cry watching Lotr, ends in tears. It's needed, this story touches every atom in one's body and mind.
"I know if he didn't have a family, Sam probably woulda went." Oh, unquestionably! In fact, decades later, when his thirteen children were all grown up and his Rosie was gone, Sam followed Frodo across the Sea.
46:30 ….In the book it was revealed that Denethor had one of the other “Spheres”( Palantirs they were called …made by the Numenoreans …Aragorn’s race… why also Aragorn could control it somewhat) Sauron showed Denethor all his armies and Denethor eventually despaired and why he lost all hope!
yes, more than that, his mind had been twisted for years by his direct connection to Sauron
@@rmarieshen862yes, in fact, Denethor was quite a good and sane ruler of Gondor - it was the Palantir that Sauron used to corrupt him and made him believe that all hope is lost. There was, of course, a bit of truth in that prophecy: his line of rulers will end. But he interpreted it as the end of Gondor. That’s why he wanted to go out in style. The depiction of him in that state was very correct, though. He went insane…
Palantirs where made by Feanor,suposedly
@@carlosgaleotegandara7812 I stand corrected!!! Given Numenoreans
I have seen a lot of LOTR reactions… yours is one of the best!!! Love your thoughts and analytics of the movie!!!
Thank you so much, Daniel. I appreciate your love. Appreciate the comment and appreciate your support for real. Maybe we should do some more Lord of the rings movies?
No one handed Eomer the spear during Rohan's charge. He was already carrying it. He just whipped it up to change from a thrusting grip to a throwing grip.
I just wanted to come back to this and say that your reaction was great and it honestly deserves more likes than it has already gotten. Your outro comments showed that you followed the story and plot very well, enjoyed yourself very much and even got some of the deeper meanings at the end, that not everyone gets from the first watching. Well done
Real kings cry. Aragorn did multiple times. Don’t be ashamed of feeling and showing emotions, brother
37:17 The tiniest people from under the hill, stand taller than everyone else at the top of the world.
Almost everyone cries at the end of this movie. You crying just makes you real. Thoroughly enjoyed this reaction.
53:50….In the book Gandalf’s staff is never broken….
And the worst part is if you don't read the books/Simillaron, you have no idea why this was as big a sin as it was. You're not overwhelming the emissary of Eru (which is Gandalf at this point) with a word of command or power or whatever it is to shatter his staff.
That staff breaking thing is perhaps one of the biggest sins in what is perhaps one of the greatest movies ever made. You'll notice PJ does that a lot with Gandalf. Downplays him, downplays his strength to make other members of the fellowship shine because he doesn't like magic.
In reality, its a matter of the authority the Witch King simply doesn't have. He's a king of men. Sorcerer, sure. Empowered a bit by Sauron? Sure. But Gandalf is a demigod. Sent back and empowered by LOTR God himself. No one is breaking Gandalf's staff like that. They should have stood true to how it happened in the book...a standoff with the Witch King withdrawing when the Rohirrim arrived.
The Istari (Wizards) ALL had their powers limited by the Valar and were sent to Middle Earth in the shape of older men. Sauron arrived in his Maiar form and had few if any limits on his power. The Istari were enjoined from using their full abilities, Being instructed to care for, and advise men and elves, but not to fight their battles for them. But Saruman, possibly with the aid of Sauron, broke that compact, so Gandalf was sent back to complete his tasks and was given exactly the amount of power that he needed, enough to break Saruman's staff (Crippling his wizardry) but Sauron did imbue the Witch King's sword with just enough power to break Gandalf's staff in return. (my theory about the LOTR trilogy.)
Sam goes on to take the boats when his wife dies, leaving the book behind to his daughter Elanor. Pippen has one kid and names him Faramir. Legolas and Gimly return to the mines under Helms Deep for Gimli then to Fangorn Forrest for Legolas, to enjoy both together.
Actually pippin has two kids and names them faramir and boromir
@@dandelion1469 not sure who gave you that misinformation!
one does not simply watch lord of the rings without crying
When I saw this in theaters, almost everyone sat through the entire credits, until after the lights came up, because we didn't want it to end. And I can tell you, not a dry eye in the house 🥹
Now we know it takes eight endings to get those tears out of you.
Awesome reaction of my favorite The Lord Of The Rings movie!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much I appreciate it. I’m glad you enjoyed the reaction. Appreciate your comment and the love.
Even Tolkein himself said Sam was the real hero of the story.
Also I'm pretty sure plenty of people have commented it but I'll say it anyway. Theoden is not Eowyns father. He's her uncle.
In the second film he said he should have loved her as a father, because her parents died and he felt bad for not being there for her.
Also RIP Bernard Hill.
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
Orrrrrr, watch the fan edit that removes all the bullshit.
@@MontgomeryWenis There are over 50 different fan edits that reduce The Hobbit down to a single movie from various perspectives/themes, and every one of them is better than the bloated original.
"Don't go where I can't follow." Gets me EVERY TIME. 😢
I remember reading that Tolkien thought Sam is the true hero. Credit should also be given to Frodo though the toll the ring took.
A bunch of extra magic had been used for this battle to enhance the 'Grond' battering ram and also the Witch King so I think they did a great job showing that quickly by having Gandalf's staff destroyed when they faced off (like Gandalf did to Saruman)
I think now you're ready to begin your Hobbit journey, it'll amaze you
One could say, it will be quite, unexpected...
You think I should do it LOL I mean I’m kinda curious to see what else is out there in regards to the lore.
@@RicoPresents Absolutely should, though the Hobbits weren't necessarily as good, they're def worth a watch, and surely adds to the lore. No spoilers tho :p
Not only did Sam go on to be a good husband and father, he also becomes the Mayor of the Shire. He goes on to outlive his wife, and is afforded the same passage out of Middle-Earth, and spends the rest of eternity alongside Gandalf, Frodo, and Bilbo (and eventually Legolas & Gimli)
1) After the last king of Gondor died, for generations, only Stuarts were holding the power, patiently waiting for the return of a King ( descended from Isildur's line). Denathor was just a Stuart, not a king. He was partially influenced by Sauron, through the Palantiri (the stone). Sauron was showing only defeat and death to Denathor, so he got pessimistic.
2) the combat between Gandalf and the Witch King doesn't happen in the book. In the book Gandalf just stands in front of the Witch King, blocking his passage, when grond broke the door. The Witch King, at that point, hears the horns of Rohan and goes there to help the orcs.
In reality, even if infused with some power, the Witch King is still a human spirit and he would never engage in a duel Gandalf. Gandalf is an Angel of Tolkien's world (Maiar) and he has too much power for the Witch King. Gandalf the White could defeat Sauron himself.
Sauron, Saruman and the Barlog are Maiar too.
Sauron was the slave Liutenent of Melkor and the Barlogs were Melkor's bodyguards. Melkor is Tolkien's Lucifer. The most powerful being in Tolkien's world, after Eru Iluvatar (Tolkien's God).
Melkor corrupted Mairon to Sauron, fire spirits to Barlogs, Elves to Orcs, Ents to Trolls, animals to beasts, poisoned all Middle Earth, corrupted humans, destroyed mountains, vegetation, fought all the other Valar (semi-God like Melkor).
In the Ancient Ages and in the first Age Melkor destroyed everything and everyone, until, at the end of the first age, a unite force of Valar, Maiar, Elves, Men and all the creatures defeated a Melkor without power because he disseminate himself in all world and creatures.
In the second Age, Sauron saw the opportunity to follow his Master's steps and try to dominate the world. He was then destroyed by Frodo, at the end of the third Age, after about 8000 years (second age + third age)
Saying Gandalf could defeat a full power Sauron is a strecth,specially when its stated that Sauron is alongside manwes servant,the strongest maiar and the only 1 below morgoth when there where dragons and balrogs
@carlosgaleotegandara7812 you are talking about Gandalf the Grey, not Gandalf the White. Also Sauron dissipated a lot of power, even with the ring cannot defeat Gandalf the White.
We need to remember that Sauron lost against Huan, Elendil and Gil Galaad, bent to Al Pharazon and Eonwe. He was not a warrior and can be beaten by a lot of entities
@@tonyusa5509 im talking about olorin period ,as the white he was just what saruman should of been.
Why send more istari then is a white one was enough.
Its like saying Tulkas was stronger than morgoth because he defeated him even tho is stated to be the most powerfull valar
@carlosgaleotegandara7812 They sent a few Istari to have infuence in different areas of the world. The blue Wizard went to the East, for example.
They could not use their full power, but only helping the free people to defeat Sauron with tactic and wisdom
This movie makes everyone cry. So no one thinks less of you for doing so.
I interpeted the ring dropping into the lava because it had lost Frodo, who ultimately chose Sam over the ring. And so joyous when Frodo saw Gandalf, thinking he was dead.
As Gandalf told the Hobbits: I will not say 'do not weep, for not all tears are an evil.'
We've all cried or at least came close to it. The Lord of the Rings is a powerful trilogy that has set the stage for most modern fantasy and fiction. There is a lot to be taken from each film, and they're all very dear. Easily the best films to have been made
great reaction! if only this movie managed to include Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth...the Battle of Pelennor Fields would have created a whole new definition of epic,I genuinely think he is the the real mvp of the battle
37:45 I often interpret this as them thinking the Hobbits will never realize how much these 4 put into making sure their home was untouched by the war.
Life continued on whether they know about what the four did or not. The other hobbits won't understand it but they can.
Love how when Gandalf beats down Denethor at the start of the battle, you can see all the guards in the background just watching.
"I will not say "do not weep", for not all tears are an evil"
Greatest trilogy of all time, done 😎
Book and movies, both. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve read the books and watched the movies.
Great reaction 👍 Now the Hobbit 🤩
Monica has to finish her LOTR journey, she can’t skip the return of the king. Monica solo reaction???
I think she just did not enjoy it. And if she didn't, there is no use forcing her to continue. If she didn't react due to other reasons, though, she should continue watching all of them.
Wonderful reaction. So glad you liked it
The Palantir or seeing stones, that Pippin looked in, Denethor had one and it made him lose his mind
Great reaction!! Please watch the extended version of the Hobbit trilogy!!! Greetings from Uruguay
I love your reactions here!
Zain, thank you for real. I really appreciate this comment and I appreciate you for taking the time out to watch it your support means the world
I'm glad you cried, beautiful reaction.
Good call on Gandalf's staff. Doesn't happen like that in the book at all. Check out the Minds Eye radio audio version of that scene, as well as Gandalf/Saruman confrontation, and the scouring of the shire. One of many odd choices of PG, to make Gandalf get done like that by the Witch King, but there is just no taking away from his final masterpiece product of a trilogy.
Denethor is the steward of Gondor - not a king. It was his charge to care for and govern Gondor until Isildor’s heir reclaimed the throne. In the books, there was a. palantir (seeing stone) in Gondor and Denethor had been using it. He got corrupted by Sauron by means of the palantir. Until then, he was a good man.
One thing I wanna point out (roughly 20:00 ). When the Witch King says "No man can kill me", I feel he more so refers to the race of men (regardless of gender), but (unsure if this was the extended edition or not) Merry stabbed the Witch King to the leg first, therefore wounding him, as Merry, being a hobbit, is in fact not a man (again, race, not gender).
That's just how I've always seen it.
In the book the reason why Merry was able to wound him was because he had a blade forged by the Numenoreans that made the Witch king vulnerable enabling Eowyn to destroy him… both were “ No Man” !!
@@Daniel-uu9td Fair aye, I'm yet to read the book, sadly haven't had the time
Sam finally gets to be Master with his own home and family.
Bruh .. seen the trilogy hundreds of times and I shed a tear everytime - it’s hard not to
Thank you for taking us with you on this amazing journey and for your very insightful comments.
Just so you know: Sam will do many more great deeds for the Shire and his family. But eventually, he will follow the invite to the Undying Lands, as he was a ringbearer, too. He will reunite with Frodo. But that’s all we know.
There are The Hobbit movies, which are pretty enjoyable, still to watch. If you would like to read more from the same author, JRR Tolkien's son and other children have made a years-long project of organizing and publishing all the other stories Tolkien wrote, and there are some really good ones. I doubt we'll ever see them on film, but they're worth getting into. One of my favorites is called Farmer Giles of Ham. He also wrote some King Arthur tales. Anyway, thank you for the reaction, Rico. It's always fun watching a film with you. Take care.
Love that it got to you
You interpreted Frodo's snatching the the ring away from Sam as possibly "evil" taking over. It was in fact love for Sam. Frodo saw that Sam was hesitating to give up the ring, having held it for just a few hours. Frodo was correct in that it would have destroyed the Sam we all love. It destroyed the innocent, smiling Frodo that we all loved.
EVERYONE always overlooks the role Merry played in the killing of the Witch-King of Angmar ... because he "isnt a (hu)man" either!
The tears make perfect sense especially when you consider the investment you've made in this story. Don't be hard on yourself. It is a "reaction" channel after all.
The slingshot things. 😆 Those would be trebuchets. 😁
Theoden and Denethor, at least in the movie, are diametric opposites. One rides into battle with his army, the other dines while his last son goes on a suicide mission. Even their names are opposites.
I never noticed that about their names, good catch
You need more views my guy!
I don't know if this is too late a comment, but you need to be granted the honor to sail to Valinor. Bilbo and Frodo have already kept The Ring for too long. The elves had to make sure the evil has been purged. Sam held it for some time, Gimli was just Legolas' best friend. So I don't
know.
fire reaction
Please do not underestimate the value of Frodo.
Frodo is a tragic hero. He is not as glamorous as Sam, and because his spirit continues to be tortured, he will also do things that are annoying to the audience. People may even praise Sam more when they read the red book in the future.
But if Sam is the MVP, then Frodo must be the MVP of MVPs.
His physical and mental wounds cannot be healed, so he can only leave his hometown and go to the land of elves to spend the rest of his life healing his wounds. He can no longer have his own family and life; but Sam can still marry a wife and have children to enjoy the happiness of a family.
Middle-earth relied on Frodo to sacrifice himself so that all mankind did not have to sacrifice.
Therefore, Galadriel said that Frodo knew that this task would cost him his life. Maybe he survived the ending on the surface, but in fact he did pay with his own life.
If Sam and Frodo switched roles, Sam might not be able to last that long.
Remember, Frodo was able to put down The One Ring just as easily as Sam in the beginning,
He carried The One Ring for about a year, not a few minutes.
Sam only held it for a very short time, and he already hesitated slightly when returning the ring.
(The One Ring can turn all good ideas into bad ones. Therefore, people like Boromir and Denethor, who are extremely elite, extremely powerful and eager to achieve something, are more likely to be affected. Although the Hobbits are corrupted more slowly due to their simple desires, they will still be affected. )
Moreover, Sam does not have as strong a sense of empathy and compassion as Frodo.
Given Sam's character he would probably kill Gollum.
Then The One Ring can never be destroyed!
It was Frodo's empathy and compassion that led to the destruction of The One Ring, not any great force or stratagem.
The author has said that no one in Mount Doom can destroy The One Ring with their own consciousness.
Although The One Ring was born in Mount Doom, and the molten flames there can melt it, it also means that The One Ring will be the most powerful in this place!
The One Ring was ultimately destroyed by its own evil intentions and the hands of Eru (GOD in the story).
Frodo's task was to bring it to that place, and he persisted until the end.
Of course, it was important to have Sam's support in the process, and Sam was with him until the end. But it would be too much to assume that Sam is more important than Frodo.
Congratulations ! 🎉
I always thought this movie was about 50 shades of male friendship.
"Not all tears are evil"
Yessir, he is the right f'ing king! :D
Aragorn cried on "camera", so you can too.
"I made a promise. A promise!"
You have to be one of my best reactions to w😊atch. ❤❤
Sam is the goat
Go on, say it, you know you want to - "Take my hand" - "Why, are you a stranger In parrot-ice?"
RotK gets everybody. Repeatedly.
Didin’t win Best Picture for nothing.
Why does EVERYONE think Eowyn is Theoden's daughter?
Because they don't pay attention
They suddenly become deaf when she says “uncle” 🤣🤣🤣
@@xineedwards2720 exactly or they are taking during the dialogue and miss it
did bro just yapped during gandalf's greatest quote?
Bro, I love you, bro❤
I just never understood why Gandalf didn't just have the eagles fly Frodo and Sam to the mountain in the first place. Guess that would make a boring story tho.
because the central pillar of the mission was secrecy,and that would be the complete opposite
What a disgrace your girl isnt watching this. Get those divorce papers ready
Bro watch rush-hour movies starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker those are comedy cop classic action
Now my friend, allow me to suggest a clip for you....
You have seen the movie, now it is time to hear the author read his work to you.
Look up 'Tolkien reads Ride of the Rohirrim' its here on YT. Certain folks have set clips of the movie to the recorded audio read by the man himself.
I only tend to suggest it to those who clearly are invested in the story and might want to hear more.
How you gone finish the trilogy without wifey bro? She watched the last 2... 💁♂
😊
