The three hairs Gimli received is actually really significant to the lore!
Gimli has zero idea how important that gift technically was...Legolas, an elf, DOES know. (It's why he smiles softly when he tells him)
There was a powerful elf that asked three separate times for hair in the past.
She saw darkness in his heart and knew he'd use her hair for ill intent. She said, no.
When Gimli asked for a single hair, to remember her beauty, she saw nothing but innocence and desire to uphold her memory. She gave him, a dwarf, the three she denied an elf. (It speaks to Gimli's character, but also not to judge based on race.)
Well said. And obviously that powerful elf is the greatest of the Eldar, Fëanáro Curufinwë, the Spirit of Fire whose soul was too bright for his own good in the end (and Fëanor being my favorite character in Tolkien's Legendarium).
it was a spell in the form of a gift. it protected Gimli from the dwarven desire with gold and it's pursuit. though gold came readily to Gimli he never lusted after it or was a hoarder of it. he had a more treasured possession in the hair the elven lady gave him. his heart remained true to friendship and family because of his gift.
Thousands of years later, and she's still telling Feanor to eff off.
@@stevechurch4728 So he was basically a simp and not a gold hoarder 😅
50 years ago my mom read us kids "the hobbit" and the "lord of the rings trilogy" our ages 4-8 at the start. Took over a year.
One of my all time favorite stories. RiP mom, love ya very , very much.
43 years ago I first read the Hobbit, then the LOTR, then almost everything else Tolkien ever published, and his Son published posthumously. And now multiple re-readings later Tolkien remains my favourite author of all time. And altohugh it is finally gratifying to have pretty much the entire English speaking world familiar with Middle Earth, it does sadden me that fewer seem to know Middle Earth through Tolkiens actual words, rather than PJ's good though lesser movies.
It makes me a little sad
@@LordEriolTolkien I’ll be reading then with my son, who is 7 now - also, you should try R Scott Bakker’s Second Apocalypse books - only series that has topped Tolkien for me
@@HistoritorJimaldus Tolkien is unsurpassable in my mind. I have a linguistic and emotional and historical connection to his writings that has cemented him forever as my Literary Hero.
I hope your son continues the habit you set for him :D
My grandpa got me into it. We read it and watched it together. We bonded over the books. I miss him.
My father did the same thing for me and my two siblings when we were younger and then also got to go to the midnight showing of the return of the king! Such great memories
Fun fact...the guy who plays Gimli the dwarf is actually the tallest of all the cast members. He is actually 6'1" tall!
I took me while to realize that he is Sallah on Indiana Jones, lol
And John Rhys Davies was able to film scenes with the hobbit actors without any forced perspective effects, because his height compared to theirs is a good approximation of dwarf height compared to hobbit height.
That's the most surprising fact I've come across for the entire series
And he's the voice of treebeard too
Cool I never knew that!😮😊
“Nobody dies better than Sean Bean.” Dude I love your reactions!
I laughed out loud when he’s like, oh he’s dead. It’s Sean bean
“Y’all got Sean Bean in this mother? He dying sometime. Sean Bean is gonna die somewhere. It’s what he does best.”
Truer words, my man. 🤣🤣🤣
“I think I’m quite ready for another adventure!” Can’t help but feel that way every time I see someone new react to these masterpieces. Here’s hoping you enjoy the greatest film trilogy of all time!
The Greatest Trilogy it is.
However, don't ignore the Best Unknown Trilogy of all time, the Before Trilogy:
Before Sunrise (1995)
Before Sunset (2004)
Before Midnight (2013)
Two characters, Jessy and Celine, played by Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, written by director Richard Linklater and both actors.
It is absolutely brilliant.
I’m going to spend the rest of my life chasing the feeling of watching this for the first time as an 11 year old on opening day.
Same here brother. Watching each of them in theatres were some of my best childhood memories
I know how you feel. I’m never quite happy unless I’m watching these movies.❤️🤗🐝
I watch one of these reaction videos every few weeks to see it for the first time again vicariously through RUclipsrs lol
@@abdo19code I think I’m doing the same thing now that you say it❤️🐝🤗
Didn't watch it until 10 years after the first movie came out because I was not interested in this type of movie. After seeing all three movies I went out and bought the extended edition and watched them at least a dozen times all the way through. The extended versions are the only way to watch these movies. Best trilogy ever made IMO❤
Same for me. Wasn't interested until an ex girlfriend got me to watch them in 2015. Didn't know for all those years that I was missing out on some of the best movies ever.
Are you a fantasy fan now? Lol
These are the fantasy movies for people who don't like fantasy movies :)

@@PeterParker-fx9dl you’ll love the playlist I just shared below within this thread then !
I think it was the famous known writer Jane Austen who said, “If a book is well written I always find it too short.”
It’s well said and it can apply to this story justly. Because even though it is a long movie, 90% of people who watch it are surprised when it finally is at the end.
Yeah back when I watched this in the theater in 2001 I had no clue they were making 3 movies. I thought this movie would end when they threw the ring into mt doom. So when aragorn said it's time to hunt some orcs I was hyped then it ended. Had no idea 3 hours had passed. I was mad at first but then appreciated it later because of parts two and three. And only had to wait a year not 2-4 like most movies in trilogies. 😂
I almost cried because my favourite book was "over", and I could not read it, again, without knowing how it all unfolds: Matt Ruff - "Fool on the hill". I must have read it 10 times and I am on my fourth copy because I keep lending it out without getting it back 😂😅
My first jury duty was called "The Sarah Dutra Trial" I was reading fellowship in the trial room. I was released because I was a 18 year old male who the prosecution thought would not be a good juror. That stuff was wild.
Love the “Shut up.” every time you jump! 😂
Fun little tidbit: There was an old meme that circled around the net about Gimli saying "Never trust an Elf!"...
Elrond (Elf) - plays a villain in the MCU - Red Skull
Galadriel (Elf) - plays a villain in the MCU - Hela
Thrandull (Elf) from The Hobbit trilogy - plays a villain in the MCU - Ronan the Accuser.
"'Ey, 500 years a long time to be f***in' crazy."
Looking forward to the next one.
A few fun facts:
Pippin is actually the youngest character and the only one who is not considered an adult by his race. Which might explain his childlike behavior on occasion.
Gimli explained why he wanted the hair in the book and it was to set it in crystal as a pledge of goodwill between the Mountain (dwarves) and the Wood (elves).
Hobbit feet are like leather and as a result they don’t need to wear shoes.
Also an actual dagger was thrown at Aragorn on accident. It was supposed to miss but Viggo had to deflect it for real because the actor playing the orc had trouble seeing through his mask.
BY accident, not ON accident.
One complaint some of the people who were big fans of the books, prior to the movies, was the huge hobbit feet. They are described as hairy and very tough in the books, but not these huge oversized feet that the movies depicted. As someone who loves watching people react to this trilogy I can’t count how many times I hear people have quite negative reactions to the hobbit feet, especially as they are shown in a lot of close-ups. So I know it is only a tiny detail, but I wish they had not gone with the design of the enormous hobbit feet.
@@blackeyedlilyI think part of that comes from much of the artwork that was produced in the 70s. It seeped into the zeitgeist of middle earth. Personally, I've always seen it as a means to throw off our sense of scale and make the actors appear shorter than they actually are.
I can't lie when I know a jump scare is coming I'm already smiling because I know how he's going to react. The reactions and commentary is on point to be fair.
Ditto!
It's the telling us to "shuddup" for me 😂
Not only is the ring poem creepy, it’s the literal incantation that Sauron chanted as he created it.
Here on RUclips is a clip of Christopher Lee reciting it in both English and Black Speech. Worth a listen!
Gives me shivers every time.
When Frodo put on the ring, he entered the world of the Black Riders. They could see him better with the ring on than they ever could with it off. Their eyesight is poor, but they can see shadows cast the sun perfectly well. Their presence causes fear in all living things, and it takes an effort of will to overcome it. That fear is what drives Frodo to put on the ring. To hide from them. But the ring only makes him more visible to them.
And, on the subject of rings, Bilbo was already extremely wealthy. The elven-made rings that made up Mithril would definitely have made him Much wealthier in a millionaire versus billionaire kind of way.
But, I doubt Bilbo would've done anything about it if he knew because the shirt was invaluable the way it was far more than as separate rings that could be sold off
One cool background story is that the stunt rider who rode Arwen's white horse when she was being chased by the black riders (the Nazgûl), fell in love with the white horse and when filming was done, the horse was being auctioned but the stunt woman couldn't afford to buy it, and when Viggo Mortensen (Strider or Aragorn) found out, he bought the horse for her as a gift. The scenery that you admired so much is in New Zealand, where the three films were made, one after the other before the first one was released. You can visit the film set of the Shire in New Zealand today, because it was preserved as a tourist attraction.
"...the race of men, who above all else desire power."
"Hey: that's the fn truth"
LMAO this is gonna be a great one
Just remember how fast the ring corrupts almost everyone who only touch it for a few seconds- it really speaks to what good hearts Bilbo & Frodo have to both hold it so long & still be good people.
I watched a good lore video on RUclips where it discussed why that might be. That it wasn't just that they were hobbits but from a specific family of hobbits that allowed them to withstand it. Wish I could remember which one it was because it wasn't terribly long but well done.
@@zoeye7095 Is that why Bilbo’s ancestor was supposedly the size of a human?
@@stingerjohnny9951 I think it might have been. I can't quite remember as I watched that video a bit ago, but there was definitely some other ancestors in a section of the Took line that went right through his mom to him. I just can't remember the specifics, like which people it was that they intermarried with. I just remember they said it made Bilbo's family line special and that may be where the abnormal resistance came from.
This is going to be so much fun watching with you, my favorite franchise of all time. I am looking forward to hearing you say “thanks for playing” 😭🤣😭🤣😭
I remember going to the movies and watching them all as they came out when I was a kid. I convinced my parents to buy me a bow and arrows after the first one lol. These will always be my favorite movies.
Nominated for 13 Oscars including Best Picture but won for Best Cinematography, Beat Visual Effects, Best Makeup and Best Original Score.
FotR was never nominated for any Oscars. The Oscars were nominated, for 13 FotR’s!!
😅
a couple of years later the return of the king had a clean sweep winning 11 Academy Awards including best picture and best director
"I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened."
"So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."
Fun Fact: Despite playing a dwarf, John Rhys-Davies is the tallest of the actors who play members of the Fellowship. He is 6' 1" in height.
"I made a promise, Mr Frodo. A promise. Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee. And I don't mean to. I don't mean to."
Fun Fact: Sir Christopher Lee read "The Lord Of The Rings" once a year until his death in 2015, and had done so since the year it was published. He was also the only member of the cast and crew ever to have met J.R.R. Tolkien.
Thud Landing Fact: According to Sean Astin in the Extended DVD commentary, when Bilbo (Ian Holm) drops the Ring before leaving Hobbiton, the floor was magnetic to prevent the Ring from bouncing. This was done to demonstrate the importance and weight of the Ring.
Stay In Character Fact: Gandalf's painful encounter with a ceiling beam in Bilbo's (Ian Holm) hobbit-hole was not in the script. Sir Ian McKellen banged his forehead against the beam accidentally. Sir Peter Jackson thought McKellen did a great job "acting through" the mistake, and kept it in.
High And Dry Fact: Sean Astin's scene underwater didn't really happen. He was filmed in a dry studio, with fans making his cloak billow. The water effects were added in afterwards by computer.
Rosetta Stone Fact: The Elvish language lines spoken in this movie are not just quotes from the book, they were derived from J.R.R. Tolkien's own limited dictionary of that language. Dialect coach Andrew Jack used recordings of Tolkien reading his books to guide the actors' and actresses' pronunciations.
Adaptation Background Fact: Asking for and receiving a lock of hair isn't unusual. In the time before photos, men would often carry a lock of hair from their sweethearts when going off to war or extended trip. But the three golden hairs that Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) gifts Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) at his behest have far more significance than their just being very pure and innocent request, rather than all the gold or power or wisdom he could have asked for. Any fans who have read the Silmarillion will know that Feanor, one of the greatest elves, and most amazing crafters of the world had made a similar request of the golden lady thousands of years earlier. Feanor was so inspired by Galadriel's grace and beauty, that he wished to use strands of her hair in the making of his three Silmarils, the most precious gems ever created in Middle Earth. He begged her three times for a single strand of her hair, but even though she was young and inexperienced at this point, she looked into his soul and saw that his intentions were not fair and benevolent, but were driven by greed and a desire to possess something more precious than the other elves of the time. She, therefore, refused his request, causing much wrath and anguish, and he was forced to find other precious substances to infuse into his gems. So while Galadriel refused Feanor, she knew Gimli was a pure soul.
When Gandalf bumps his head in Bilbo's house...that was real. They just decided to keep it in the movie.
My sisters and I are so excited for this one! You’ve become one of our favorite reactors lol! Hope you’ll be watching the extended editions.
That's what these were. Hope you all enjoy!
@@EOMReacts sooooo excited!! Thank you!
The Lord of the Rings films are so incredible. They are the standard to which I compare other big movies. Just the perfect amount of action, laughs, heart and everything else.
Well put. Kevin Feige of the MCU has often said that these movies inspired him. They helped create his vision for what he wanted to do with the MCU.
@@SurvivorBriWell, he tried his best, but mostly shallow comic heroes and actual ancient mythic legends are two types of source materials... u cant harvest apples from birch trees... ^^ But at least he made partially enjoyable MCU birch syrup... ^^
He trying to grow her in a jar literally made me spit out my drink lol
"You got Sean Bean in this Motherfucker....hes gonna die sometime! "
How right you were! xD
"Nobody dies better than Sean Bean" lol, the best phrase of this video.
EOM: “I never watched it because of it’s length”
Me, knowing how everyone who says that before they watch the film reacts when they hit the credits: **light chuckle and a knowing smile**
i wanna say thanks for not fading the movie scene out like most others, really helps us keep involved with the reaction experience
They are just doing what they can to avoid copyright strikes. If they zero in on our man here he might have to take more extreme measures too. Seems you get to a certain size following and then the target is on your back.
@@ronweber1402 fair use is fair use, but yea i get it, i just like that he doesnt do it lol thats why i like butchute more then youtube, they care less
To see a condensed version of the same story involving a small guy who has to throw away an evil piece of trash and has a hard time doing it, see "The Gods Must Be Crazy".
Oh, heck yeah. Such a strange, fun, deep, entertaining film and I second this recommendation
That's a great movie!
Yes!
OMG that is an amazing film!!
'the shire' was filmed in New Zealand and the set is now a hobbit museum and you can absolutely go.
"The Ring will be safe in Rivendell. I am ready to go home. "
"Naw, bruh, you got two more movies."
🤣
Ahh you made it to the greatest trilogy ever made. Well done! These movies will rock your world and change your life. They did for me. All the best to you and your co-pilots!
It's better directed, better acted, better choreographed, and better in every way than the original Star Wars trilogy. Yet somehow, defying all logic and reason, Star Wars is still just the more important masterpiece and more important trilogy. LotR is real close, but just doesn't captivate people more than Star Wars does. The SWU is just bigger and more interesting.
@@CoryGasaway It may seem that way but it's only because SW has been around for 3 decades longer than LOTR. The last SW movie was abysmal and may have just sunk that series in one fell swoop.
@@CoryGasawayI think it's because starwars is more open to new stories and such where as anything that isn't by Tolkien turned film/tv show has bin terrible
@@cathyaldridge4550 as movies..it's 30 years more for Tolkien trilogy in fact.
@@CoryGasawayabsolutely not bigger. There is nothing more material than Tolkien did. LoTR represents only little fragment of 15 000 years or history.
Agreed for everything else. LOTR is better in everyway even if SW holds the candle for most influential saga of all time.
2:00
I feel you on that. Some movies you take a look at the runtime and just "nope" the hell out.
However, this is one of the few instances where you really would be doing yourself a disservice by watching the theatrical cut.
Thanks for this, and thanks to Blank for getting you to watch this version.
Its sad how they killed Gandalf like that, should definitely wear an RIP Gandalf shirt for the next movie.
The reason that Sean Bean dies in everything is because the Universe is trying to correct the fact that his names don’t rhyme when they should.
Damn I never thought about that - J
omg hahahaha
"So Gandalf is a menace?"...sums up the story 🤣🤣🤣 LMAO 😂😂😂
All I will say is, Samwise Gamgee will be your favorite character by the end of the third movie. Fact.
Whether you react to them or not, after you complete the trilogy you might see if you like the also epic behind the scenes material they had in the box sets.
This set of films and the crew who crafted them were together for years on this production. From the armor creators, set builders, costumers, and so on, this film is nearly as inspiring for its production as for the amazing finished product.
Agree. I didn’t know much of the story and I was very ill one night. I grabbed the DVD and watched everything after I watched the film. I was hooked! X
22 YEARS AGO!! AND STILL BAD ASS!!
Interesting tidbit, when Aragorn deflects the thrown dagger in the fight near the end he is actually deflecting a dagger thrown at his face by that actor who played the orc, so that was an Actual, unplanned deflection. They kept it in because it was absolutely spectacular but that could have seriously injured Viggo [Aragorn]
Aragorn is SO lucky that Viggo has plenty of bad-assery to spare.
Yes everyone knows every single bit of lord of the rings behind the scenes facts because you annoying dweebs. Did you know Viggo Mortensen broke his toe when he kicks the helmet?!?!?!
Why did he throw it?
Sam's part always makes be cry. He's such a good friend. Glad you're enjoying it. Can't wait for the next
Itstill holds up 20 y later, hasnt aged a day. All time fav franchise
Frodo '' I am ready to go home..''
EOM: Nah bro, you got two more movies
lol
30:35 that's a thing in my family. If Hugo Weaving appears on screen, you are obliged to say Mister Anderson in the voice of agent Smith 😎
I am looking forward to rewatch this amazing trilogy with you
32:18 this had me in tears 😂😂😂
I always thought hobbit feet would be like dog paws, probably with soft cushy pads with thick skin, so they can walk comfortably over rough terrain, and fur on top so they don't get cold. They wouldn't use shoes because they just don't need them, any more than a pup needs boots.
"Frodo a better man than me."
Aint that the truth brother, I've had that thought plenty of times.
Imagine waiting for year for the next one. Also this is the greatest trilogy in film.
''I like half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.'' Is a spectacularly clever line. Think about it...What is he saying and also Not saying. It is utter brilliance, which is why most people do not fully grasp its meaning, even after much thought, and you can easily see why it left everyone speechless and silent: it needs to be deciphered.
I won't give it away, but that one line alone is Genius
When Frodo put on the ring he was physically present in the spiritual realm, where the nazgul exist. The robes are used to give them some physical form, but they are spirits. He doesn't go anywhere and can still interact with the physical world around him, just cannot be seen in that world.
Hobbiton is actually a real place in New Zealand you can visit it . Its the biggest tourist attraction in New Zealand now.
The story of Galadriel's hair is legendary in their world. Should look up a video explaining the significance of the dwarf asking the elf for the most precious thing she could give.
And most important, the fact that Galadriel actually gifted him three of her hairs.
@@sisleyboy” I asked for a singLe hair from her golden head, …. She gave me three”
@@sawder34 Feanor is fuming
@@Pixx2266 he wanted to pump his neice, and had a hair fetish.
Destroyed the world🤣🤣
Aragorn is the king of “sniff the dirt” dudes. And there’s so many cold badass moments in this trilogy. You’re gonna love it
He’s a tracker
Rangers are good at that as part of their job lol. 😂
Thanks EOM for your reactions, I love it. Keep it up. Fun fact: Actor Sean Bean has a severe fear of flying and that was quite a problem during the filming of Lord of the Rings. Scenes were regularly shot in isolated places. The actors and crew were brought by helicopter, but our Boromir was not seen. When the time came again, he would start a walking tour to the filming location hours in advance and already wearing his costume.
is it weird that I kinda want a sequel to final destination just called "not this time" staring Shawn Bean where he survives the entire movie until the like 10 seconds before credits when a piano falls on his head.
I’d pay good money to see that. LoL
Ah, the fabled Editor's Cut of the reaction trilogy! Can't wait to laugh and cry with y'all again 🤙
That's what I've been calling these cuts. LoL
@@EOMReacts Lol, answered my own question I left in the chat. Yes, it's a restored reaction. Glad we get to see these again. It was quite fun watching Jay react to these films. Looking forward to doing so again.
I like how concerned your dog gets at the jumpscare @12:09 😅🐶
Fun fact: there is about 17 years from the time that Bilbo leaves the Shire on his journey and when Frodo begins his quest.
Fun fact: According to Hobbits Pippin are the age of teenager and that is why he does dumb teenager stuff. Frodo is the oldest but still considered a young adult at the ripe 😅age of 51 years old, Sam is 39 years old, Merry is 36 years old barely past his coming of age birthday, so barely an adult and Pippin is a very young 29 years old and not an adult yet.
The dog licking you, as the Uruk licked the knife 😆
"That was one hell of an opening" - yeah...
These films have some awesome openings.
This is the best opening of the 3. I love re-watching it just to hear her narrate
You said "Man that's a heavy burden to carry, ain't it?" You have no idea how much of a burden this ring will become. It's more than anyone can bear. Prepare yourself to see just how much a being can endure when they truly believe in something. It will shake you to your core.
Sam is the true hero of this series. Fight me.
Can't fight truth. 😂
Frodo carries the ring. Sam carries Frodo. By helping.
I believe a majority of the films were filmed in New Zealand. It's very beautiful there. There is actually a hobbit village there somewhere to.
They built a whole Tourism industry based on this. Even the airlines and such.
Ladies and gentlemen… The moment you’ve all been waiting for.
He reacted to this ten months ago.
You want to see all these beautiful locations just go to new Zealand, The Lord of the Rings trilogy was filmed entirely in New Zealand. Filming locations spanned more than 150 locations in both the North and the South Islands
Love how your dog goes under the blanket at 38:00 haha
One of the only LOTR reactions I've ever seen that made me belly laugh at least 3 times!! 😄
The movie was shot in New Zealand and they created the Shire for the film. It still exists today as a tourist attraction.
You’d LOVE Narnia
I read all the Lion Whitch & The Wardrobe series and a lot of C.S. Lewis in general.
They, Tolkien and he, were contemporaries, you’d enjoy that story as well.
Look into the Narnia franchise
Especially the first one
Brooo a guy you enjoys in depth lore and who isn’t afraid to show genuine reaction reacting to this is gonna be hard to beat
I sometimes forget how much of a nerd I am when watching this reaction because I realize that J is seeing this with no context at all and it's excellent to see him work things out. It's going to be excellent seeing you watch the trilogy for the first time and I hope you enjoy. God bless you guys with excellence!
I have no words. I have been waiting for this reaction and review since I was lucky enough to find your channel and ... IT WAS EVERYTHING I DREAMED AND MORE--I'm nearly in tears. OF JOY!!!!
"The Murder-Whistle wants blood."
The reactions to EVERY CHARACTER were ... CHEF'S KISS! You gave me ALL the feels I had on my first watch in 2001, up to now! I'm so freaking happy. I can't even, right now.
I can't cobble together my usual blather. I WILL say that Blank is a SAM GAMGEE-level friend. He got you to watch the Extended version because he knew what you were missing and said: "Nah. You're not gonna keep missing out." BLANK WOULD DROWN TO GET YOU TO WATCH THE EXTENDED EDITION.
That's the friend you KEEP.
This R&R is EVERYTHING. Absolutely everything. I'm not even gonna be able to sleep tonight for excited happiness.
And the puppies, as always, are pure love and adorableness. This R&R had EVERYTHING. You're all the best! Thank you, JL, puppies, and THANK YOU BLANK for being a superior friend
Frodo's parents drowned in a boating accident, that's how he got adopted by his uncle Bilbo.
Arwen is Aragorn's first cousin, about seventy times removed.
The evil wizard is Saruman.
A great reaction, looking forward to the rest.
I also am glad you are doing the extended versions, They released these about a year after each regular version kinda annoying back then but its not just little deleted scenes its sometimes huge parts of the plot that are only in the exteneded versions. The first movie is excellent but I think the other two movies are a lot better for reactions and interested to see if you laugh at certain points or get teary eyed where I predict 😂
They had to cut out like five chapters of the first part to fit in the first movie. This whole book could have been a 30-40 hour mini-series.
@@libertyresearch-iu4fy I would have totally watched a 30-40 hour series with this cast and director
@@TheStormblooper-yv3ke I think I like the other two more because the first one I saw so many times waiting for the next ones to release.
The whole movie was filmed in New Zealand. It had all the environments that was required for filming. Looking forward to you reacting to the rest of the trilogy then you need to watch The Hobbit ,which is the story of Bilbo.
"Gandalf, your magic a little weak"
Yes, it is - that's by design, actually. Gandalf and Saruman are members of an order of demi-gods sent to advise Middle Earth, specifically in regards to Sauron (fun fact; five wizards were sent, and Gandalf is the ONLY one who stayed true to the mission). Here's the thing - the upper-level gods don't believe in meddling. The wizards are ONLY supposed to be advising. So their powers have essentially been limited by the gods, to stop them from interfering too much.
It didn't work. Three of the wizards immediately f--ked off to do other things, Saruman turned evil, and Gandalf does a whole LOT of meddling.
Such an amazing trilogy considering the complexities of the Tolkien books
Great reaction! This series is incredible. I don't think I've ever met someone who did not love it.
When Galadriel gave Gimli three hairs it calls back to an earlier tale (long long before the LOTR movies) when an Elf named Feanor asked her three times for a tress of her hair but seeing the evil in his heart she refused him three times.
You CAN go to the Shire. It's a tourist destination in New Zealand. The Shire and all the other beautiful places they went are all in New Zealand, but I'm sure some of it was CGI'd like Mordor. But most of it is totally real.
Tolkien said that pipe weed is not weed. It could be a different strain of tobacco that is higher in nicotine which does deliver a euphoric effect. Also, Middle Earth is a fictional world with fictional (and real) plants. Pipe weed could just be a fictional plant.
Mordor was filmed in Detroit, Michigan.

Actually filmed: Tongariro National Park
Mordor, the black, nightmarish volcanic realm home to the eye of Sauron, was shot at Tongariro National Park. Mordor's Mount Doom, the majestic real-life Mount Ngauruhoe, is visible if you hike the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, a popular tourist destination for Lord of the Rings fans.
It will take you a while,
But you’ll realize your spirit character in this franchise is

57:22 In the book, the Fellowship spent roughly a month in Lothlórien, though it seemed to them only a few days.
I love watching people's first reaction to this trilogy. Although people really should start with Bilbo's story "The Hobbit".
LOL, I love it. The eye flashed, you jumped and your dog crawled under the blanket.
These films were shot in New Zealand. Epic landscapes.
Epic reaction!
All these years and today I finally noticed the Elf Capt. in the woods to talks to Gimli was the bad guy in Spartacus.
“You know they smelled their feet” had me dying 😂
Really hoping he watches The Hobbit Trilogy, extended editions of course. I personally think they are great films.
extended editions are the best
For me extended editions are the only way to watch a Middle Earth movie.
"Damn, Sauron couldn’t fight with one hand??"
😂😂😂😂😂
Oh, I bet he wish he could have!
For a thousand years he had time to wish that!
Get to re-watch this again? A good day indeed
"The Murder Whistle got blood, we got 'em!" *Happy Bork Noises* Still one of my favorite parts of any of your reactions!
I can feel a “oh! Boromir ain’t shit” coming followed by a “you a real one”
Finally got my wife to watch the Trilogy and I can't wait until my sons are old enough to watch. It's so wonderful watching the reactions of people that are watching it the first time. Will never get old. I only wish that I could forget about the movies just to be able to see them for the first time again.
Easy to remember who and where the Evil guys are. Saron of Mordor (2 syllables in each name) and Saruman of Isengard ( 3 syllables in each name.
Everyone in the Fellowship, who wasn't a Hobbit, knew there was nothing to stop the Balrog from following them out of Moria. The only Balrogs have ever been killed is by falling from a great height. Gandalf knew breaking the bridge was probably the only thing that could save them and he lured the Balrog onto it. When Gandalf was being pulled into the chasm, Aragorn knew his mission was to protect Frodo, not to run out on an extremely unstable remnant of the bridge. Aragorn 's death on the heels of Gandalf's would have nearly ended the quest right there.
Wow. When I saw this video pop up I was like “they took even more out of it” since that’s what usually happens with reaction re-uploads. I was pleasantly surprised that this was actually the opposite! This is the the “extended cut” of the reaction! 😉 You rock (Blank)! 🍻
We posted these last year and RUclips/WB stripped everything out of them. We are on vacation this week bc I’m moving so we put these back up the way we wanted to with everything in them - J
"Hawkeye wishes he was Legolas"
In the first Avengers movie, Tony actually calls Hawkeye "Legolas" at one point. When he flies Hawkeye you to the top of the building, before he takes off he says "Better clench up, Legolas".
Am I watching this new upload after the last one? Yes. Yes, I am. Can’t wait.
@JL watching you watch these with every iconic moment, and its vista's, the music, and the storytelling is going to make for an amazing week. An yes Bean dies amazingly well :)
Fun facts: Sir Christopher Lee (Saruman) was a great LotR-fan, who even owned a first edition of books, which he read several times. He even met the author J. R. R. Tolkien in person during a public reading.
All the members of the Fellowship have the elvish rune for "9" tattooed, except John Rhys-Davies (Gimli) who had his body double take it for him. Director Peter Jackson has the elvish "10" as a tattoo.
The scene where Gandalf bumps his head in Bilbo´s hut, wasn´t scripted, but being the great actor he is, Sir Ian MacKellen made the best of the moment and the director decided to keep it. There is another scne not scripted in the next movie, in which Viggo Mortensen broke a toe. You will hear, when it happened.
This can’t be true, the best reactor and the best movie, let’s freaking go
Thank you for taking the time and effort to tweak and re-upload these! 😃
1:05:07 To quote "Did you know?": Lurtz throws his dagger directly at Aragon's face. Lurtz WAS supposed to throw his dagger at Aragon, but it was supposed to miss by a good deal, and later with the help of a different camera angle, they would make it look like it was a much closer call than it was. However, the actor playing Lurtz completely misjudged his aim and ended up throwing a metal prop knife directly at Viggo head.
Thankfully due to Viggos quick reflexes and apparently samurai like swordsman skills, he deflected the knife and no camera trickery was needed.
Peter Jackson of course kept this in the film, as its one of the coolest and most authentic scenes throughout the entire saga.
