@@lkf8799 I loved that it went on and on and on, but I DID take a short bathroom break like 3 hours in when nothing exciting was happening, so by the time the endings rolled around, I could already watch in peace.
They actually scheduled a break in our theaters because of this. 😅 I never had a problem with it. Actually, I love the Endings as a rare depiction of winning the battle but not being able to live with the trauma of it. It showed the prophecy of Galadriel to be true "The quest will claim his life", because Frodo had to leave his life behind.
I’m glad someone else was also disturbed by how Denethor was eating those cherry tomatoes. I still can’t even look at them- and they were once my favorite!!!
I saw that as a kid and ate chicken and tomatoes like that for like a year. I thought it was cool eating like a king(I didn't get the steward thing as a kid). I still do that sometimes when I eat alone.

@@EzraDair I don't mind, "leaving it up to your imagination" is 99% of the time just an excuse for bad writing. Good stories have good endings. But the movies don't tackle all of them from the books, like the shire being invaded and Merry and Pippin becoming famed warriors who go on a bunch of adventures and are eventually buried next to king Aragorn.
I was actually disappointed when after over three hours the next two weren't spent on the scouring of the shire. I was upset they left it out. Now I'm ok with it. At that time, not so much.

No k - Gyproc® - and it's been genericized, in Canada, at least. Call it drywall here and people think you're weird or trying to sell a different brand.
There's a dufference between a TV show and a movie though. A movie shouldn't drag you that's much. 20 minutes is 1/10 of a movie, but it's about 1/1000 of a TV show.
I actually love the 27 endings of return of the king. If you're going to spend approximately five years on a trilogy you might as well end it right. Sometimes I see this new big budget films and I'm like "they spent 200 million on the movie and twenty dollars on the ending"
They most definitely did *not* end it right. Watching in the theater, I had no idea they killed Saruman off in an extended scene earlier in the movie. Logically I thought the movie would end the way the book did, with *The Scouring of the Shire* showing what happens to Saruman / Wormtongue. I was disappointed. 😭
I remember seeing this movie in theaters, after it fades to white and comes back for sams ending, a man in the audience screams “THERES MORE!” Made the movie so much better lol 😂
People complain about the long ending in the movie, but they haven't even heard about the Scouring of the Shire. The hobbits all came back home and had to retake the Shire from Saruman.
That part of the book truly has a high historical AND symbolic significance. In the first place, Tolkien was writing the books during the Second World War. Immediately after the war, the Communist infiltration took place in America, slowly blinding people between truth and reality. To America, who never had the war brought to them, Saruman's infiltration tactic would be very significant and a reminder that even when the greatest evil may be "destroyed", evil still exists in this world, and that it is necessary to always be on guard and defend against any evil, no matter where it is. It made sense, because in the book, Saruman was not killed, and he menacingly threatened the hobbits (in a relatively subtle way) on how the Shire may be destroyed. In the first book, there are signs of spies and "dark men" living in Bree near the Shire, and after the war in the West is won, they cannot come home to a hero's welcome because their home is also attacked and needs a hero to save. This kind of parodies how America may have won the war in the European theater, but ultimately had to turn to the homefront in fighting the unseen enemy, the Communist part (which rose to power in the 1930s and was responsible for a lot of terrorist and destructive acts during the 1950s). It seems sensible that, while the West is fighting a direct and powerful enemy, the Shirelings in the East are fighting a far more indirect and powerful enemy which many are powerless ( or blind) against. I find that part of the book quite relevant in its own way. There was a very Christian element in the Scouring of the Shire when the originally jealous relatives of Frodo are hailed as heroes for ultimately trying to fight against the "men from the South". Also it seemed interesting how Frodo gives up all the worldly possessions, only staying long enough to make sure everything at home is in order. Frodo is reconciliatory towards the Southern men during one skirmish in so much as he showed compassion and spared those he captured (when otherwise the hobbits would have quickly killed them in revenge), how the hobbits quickly found ways of rebuilding and fixing what was destroyed, and in essence, converted the authoritarian state created by Saruman back into the original loving and free Shire once more. It made sense because why would the Shire be completely untouched by evil after the nazguls had left? Nothing stops evil from entering except watchful hearts and alert minds. After the "Ranger" left (Aragorn), the Shire did not have that anymore. What else could be expected?
Producer: I bet ending this movie will be super easy, barely an inconvenience. Screen Writer: No, uh, it's actually gonna be pretty hard to end this thing...
Having no last line of defence around the volcano bothered me for a long time, too. There was one indication of that in the book. Sauron was so obsessed with the power of the ring that he couldn't imagine someone would be willing to destroy it. And technically he was right.
@@andrewfrankovic6821 That’s after Sauron was defeated, there are plenty of reasons why flying into Mordor wouldn’t have worked, starting with the giant eye on a tower in the middle
@@danielgrill6327 Under the right circumstances, for instance give an eagle the ring, those logistics could be solved off camera, BUT, then there'd be no movie. How long before Gollum isn't found to have survived the lava?
I have just re-watched this series...The extended DVD box set with one of my daughters. She had seen it years ago but, as she was home due to illness, I suggested we work our way through that bad boy. It is epic!! I always feel the same when I finish watching these movies is longing. For a simple existence. A 'Bag End' life of basic farming and less hustle and bustle. A natural lifestyle without making a huge, negative impact upon my surroundings. Some place where modern noise is limited. Although...would be nice to have a jaunty soundtrack playing in the background. You're hearing it now aren't you? It stays with you. Great movies.
"...................well I think it's a great trilogy-" "And then we go back to the Shire!" "Oh, my God." I legitimately think that's what actually went down during the actual pitch _and_ table reading with the cast.
This is the film that never ends. Yes it goes on and on, my friends. Tolkien started writing it not knowing what it was, and Peter kept on filming it forever just because.
It's funny ROTK gets criticized for having so many endings, but they actually pared it down from the books by removing the Scouring of the Shire, which would have probably taken another 20-30 minutes of screentime to show.
More like they gutted it. The Scouring of the Shire, not Mount Doom, was the climax of the novel. They left in all the transitional scenes, but they removed the main event.
Idk I felt like the scouring of the shire was a hobbit victory lap that would have required a lot more screen time for Ol Sharky than was really doable. It's like an entire post-climactic side quest that would have thrown off the tone of the resolution.
I've never had a problem with the Return of the King's ending (or endings so to be speak), I feel it's one of the most perfect epilogues to a trilogy of all time.
😌 'We fade to white...' 😯 'Oh, we do? We fade to white?' 😀 'We fade to white...' 😲 'Wow, ok, well, ok...' ... 😗 ... 😕 ... 😚 ... 🤔 ... 🥴 ... 😗 'Well I think it's a great trilo-' 😊 'And then we go back to the Shire!'
I really like the many endings though. I could not imagine it any other way. Especially that Frodo doesn’t fit back with his people anymore. This gives the ending a sad touch after all the happiness which is quite realistic and makes the ending fitting to the suffering we watched over three movies
In case you haven't read the books, the ring gets destroyed halfway through Return of the King. Showing as little as they did in the movies after the ring was destroyed is actually a great accomplishment.
@@Neion8 The scouring of the Shire was probably the least satisfying piece of any media ever to me. I get Tolkien trying to make a statement about war and all that, but it completely disrupted the flow of the story for me.
@@Nathrezim0 Fair enough, but I'd also argue that it's the main part where you see the growth of the Hobbits and the benefits of their adventure (as in almost everything else, they had quite a bit of support); had they just sat at home like every other Hobbit and let the rest of the world fend for itself they would've been incapable of protecting themselves. However, because of their experiences - they gained the ability to defend their homes. Although I can understand it steps away from the structure of the traditional hero's narrative used in 95% of fantasy/adventure/folk stories by throwing in another conflict immediately after the resolution which can feel disjointed.
@@Neion8 Oh yeah, I can definitly see how some people like it and and respect what that part of the story is doing, I just don't enjoy it myself. Of course, you're right in that it does show off how much the Hobbits have grown, among other things!
Hobbit Pitch Meeting: Writer: "So this story is based on a single book rather than a trilogy of books, so it should make for a face paced, action oriented film with-" Producer: "Oh good, another trilogy!" Writer: "No, I said one movie." Producer: "Yeah, three movies, that's what I said." Writer: "No, sir...it's only one book, so it should only be one movie." Producer: "What? I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of cash registers in my head." Writer: "Whoops!" Producer: "Whoopsie!"
Hopefully the Hobbit gets remade one day into a proper standalone epic movie. Or actually it may be possible to edit the hobbit trilogy down into a one TIGHT film lol.
Having a long epilogue sounds like a good thing to me. I always hate it when we never get to see the main characters enjoy the peace they won. Just "Yay, we won, party!" and then roll credits is always super unsatisfying.
Actually, he and Wormtongue escape, and nobody knows where they've gone; then when the Hobbits get back to the Shire, they find that Saruman has taken it over, and they have to stage a coup to get rid of him. _Then_ Wormtongue kills him.
@@tobybartels8426 Yeah...in the books. In the film, we never see Saruman again, and in the Extended Edition, Wormtongue kills him in Isengard and is himself shot by Legolas.
Producer: "I guess it'll be pretty easy with that invincible ghost army." Writer: "Actually, that I.O.U. was good for one battle only." Producer: "Aaah, too bad they weren't Jedi."
I think it might even have been good for one defense of Minas tirith only too. Still, I guess they could have asked the ghosts if they'd mind doing them a favor, lol. Could have put a nice mausoleum in their cave or something.
@@SomeGuy-ty7kr The best part is they didn't even fight in defense of Minas Tirith in the books. They just helped Aragorn and co. take over the pirate ships that were sailing up river to support Sauron while recruiting a lot of southern Gondorians that the pirates had been terrorizing to help in the actual battle. The I.O.U. wasn't even good for a 1 whole battle.

Yes - they should make this🤞 and in the script the pitch guy should offer the producer a peanut.

@Ricky Shiffer only time ... :D
I actually love the 27 endings of return of the king. If you're going to spend approximately five years on a trilogy you might as well end it right. Sometimes I see this new big budget films and I'm like "they spent 200 million on the movie and twenty dollars on the ending"
Yeah. If only they had done it right. Oh, well.
@@nagoranerides3150 what are you talking about? They DID do it right
Plus it put an end to shitty-sequel stuff hollywood tries to do now. We all now they milked the Hobbit, but at least we didn't get a spin off.... yet
They most definitely did *not* end it right.
Watching in the theater, I had no idea they killed Saruman off in an extended scene earlier in the movie.
Logically I thought the movie would end the way the book did, with *The Scouring of the Shire* showing what happens to Saruman / Wormtongue.
I was disappointed. 😭
@@iamjayrts25 Well they skipped the whole part where the remnants of Sauron's army massacred the inhabitants of the Shire, so.
I would love to see an Austin Powers or MegaMind pitch meeting
Oh man same here!
Though I’m worried Ryan would squeeze all the Austin Powers movies into one Pitch Meeting. I’d rather them be individual Pitches.
Pitching Austin Powers is groovy!
Let's be honest here. I'd enjoy a pitch meeting about an episode of 60 Minutes.
I love that the other guy is still all white

I remember seeing this movie in theaters, after it fades to white and comes back for sams ending, a man in the audience screams “THERES MORE!” Made the movie so much better lol 😂
Was he excited, confused, or tired?
@@Giran_0 he sounded confused and annoyed lol. I’m assuming he wasn’t expecting three endings like that. Lol

Good one 😃
Frodo finishes writing his own book
Glad to hear someone knows how to end things.
"Oh, got him on a technicality."
"She sure did, sir!"
😂😂
That was basically the basis for the Ramayana
People complain about the long ending in the movie, but they haven't even heard about the Scouring of the Shire. The hobbits all came back home and had to retake the Shire from Saruman.
Scouring of the Shire
@@christiancividino455 Yeah, thanks for the name. Changed the comment to shorten it.
Utopia Krux Yw. It would have been cool to see Saruman’s spirit to look toward Valinor only to be swept away by a west wind.
That part of the book truly has a high historical AND symbolic significance. In the first place, Tolkien was writing the books during the Second World War. Immediately after the war, the Communist infiltration took place in America, slowly blinding people between truth and reality. To America, who never had the war brought to them, Saruman's infiltration tactic would be very significant and a reminder that even when the greatest evil may be "destroyed", evil still exists in this world, and that it is necessary to always be on guard and defend against any evil, no matter where it is.
It made sense, because in the book, Saruman was not killed, and he menacingly threatened the hobbits (in a relatively subtle way) on how the Shire may be destroyed. In the first book, there are signs of spies and "dark men" living in Bree near the Shire, and after the war in the West is won, they cannot come home to a hero's welcome because their home is also attacked and needs a hero to save. This kind of parodies how America may have won the war in the European theater, but ultimately had to turn to the homefront in fighting the unseen enemy, the Communist part (which rose to power in the 1930s and was responsible for a lot of terrorist and destructive acts during the 1950s). It seems sensible that, while the West is fighting a direct and powerful enemy, the Shirelings in the East are fighting a far more indirect and powerful enemy which many are powerless ( or blind) against. I find that part of the book quite relevant in its own way.
There was a very Christian element in the Scouring of the Shire when the originally jealous relatives of Frodo are hailed as heroes for ultimately trying to fight against the "men from the South". Also it seemed interesting how Frodo gives up all the worldly possessions, only staying long enough to make sure everything at home is in order. Frodo is reconciliatory towards the Southern men during one skirmish in so much as he showed compassion and spared those he captured (when otherwise the hobbits would have quickly killed them in revenge), how the hobbits quickly found ways of rebuilding and fixing what was destroyed, and in essence, converted the authoritarian state created by Saruman back into the original loving and free Shire once more. It made sense because why would the Shire be completely untouched by evil after the nazguls had left? Nothing stops evil from entering except watchful hearts and alert minds. After the "Ranger" left (Aragorn), the Shire did not have that anymore. What else could be expected?
@@richardbonnette490 Interesting. I never thought of it that way.
"Ow, got him on a technicality."
"She sure did sir."

“She’s the one who looks like if Enya’s music was a person” 🤣🤣 I think this describes the entire elfdom in lotr

Producer: I bet ending this movie will be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Screen Writer: No, uh, it's actually gonna be pretty hard to end this thing...
Ahem. I believe their names are "Producer Guy" and "Writer Guy".
@Ricky Shiffer wait what happened to producer guy the grey. I owed him like a ton of money.
Having no last line of defence around the volcano bothered me for a long time, too. There was one indication of that in the book. Sauron was so obsessed with the power of the ring that he couldn't imagine someone would be willing to destroy it. And technically he was right.
And that eagle showed up to save Frodo. Definitely could have knocked 9 hours and most of 3 books off the clock using an eagle instead of a hobbit.
@@andrewfrankovic6821 That’s after Sauron was defeated, there are plenty of reasons why flying into Mordor wouldn’t have worked, starting with the giant eye on a tower in the middle
@@danielgrill6327 Under the right circumstances, for instance give an eagle the ring, those logistics could be solved off camera, BUT, then there'd be no movie. How long before Gollum isn't found to have survived the lava?
@@andrewfrankovic6821 Sauron can see through the invisibility, and his attention is even pulled toward people putting them on

I have just re-watched this series...The extended DVD box set with one of my daughters. She had seen it years ago but, as she was home due to illness, I suggested we work our way through that bad boy. It is epic!!
I always feel the same when I finish watching these movies is longing. For a simple existence. A 'Bag End' life of basic farming and less hustle and bustle. A natural lifestyle without making a huge, negative impact upon my surroundings. Some place where modern noise is limited. Although...would be nice to have a jaunty soundtrack playing in the background. You're hearing it now aren't you? It stays with you.
Great movies.
"...................well I think it's a great trilogy-"
"And then we go back to the Shire!"
"Oh, my God."
I legitimately think that's what actually went down during the actual pitch _and_ table reading with the cast.
You should do pitch meetings for the Pirates if the Caribbean movies

hahahahhahahahahahahahahha xD dude this trilogy has no ending hahha ( it has like 9 hahahhaa)
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣YOOOOOOOOOO PLEASE STOP!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the film that never ends. Yes it goes on and on, my friends. Tolkien started writing it not knowing what it was, and Peter kept on filming it forever just because.
🤣🤣🤣
It's funny ROTK gets criticized for having so many endings, but they actually pared it down from the books by removing the Scouring of the Shire, which would have probably taken another 20-30 minutes of screentime to show.
Yeah, I mean, it was a long trilogy. I found the many endings justified and I wouldn't want to miss a single one of them.
More like they gutted it. The Scouring of the Shire, not Mount Doom, was the climax of the novel. They left in all the transitional scenes, but they removed the main event.
Idk I felt like the scouring of the shire was a hobbit victory lap that would have required a lot more screen time for Ol Sharky than was really doable. It's like an entire post-climactic side quest that would have thrown off the tone of the resolution.
As much as I would have loved watching Pippin and Merry kick Sharkey's ass, I was also happy the Hobbits got to have peace.
I've never had a problem with the Return of the King's ending (or endings so to be speak), I feel it's one of the most perfect epilogues to a trilogy of all time.

“If Enya’s music was a person” is one of the best lines I’ve heard on Pitch Meeting 😂😂😂
I really like the many endings though. I could not imagine it any other way.
Especially that Frodo doesn’t fit back with his people anymore. This gives the ending a sad touch after all the happiness which is quite realistic and makes the ending fitting to the suffering we watched over three movies

In case you haven't read the books, the ring gets destroyed halfway through Return of the King. Showing as little as they did in the movies after the ring was destroyed is actually a great accomplishment.
Wait, what? They destroy the ring that early in the story?!?
But then you have the scouring of the Shire as well, which would've been a bit more satisfying than half a dozen false endings.
@@Neion8 The scouring of the Shire was probably the least satisfying piece of any media ever to me. I get Tolkien trying to make a statement about war and all that, but it completely disrupted the flow of the story for me.
@@Nathrezim0 Fair enough, but I'd also argue that it's the main part where you see the growth of the Hobbits and the benefits of their adventure (as in almost everything else, they had quite a bit of support); had they just sat at home like every other Hobbit and let the rest of the world fend for itself they would've been incapable of protecting themselves. However, because of their experiences - they gained the ability to defend their homes.
Although I can understand it steps away from the structure of the traditional hero's narrative used in 95% of fantasy/adventure/folk stories by throwing in another conflict immediately after the resolution which can feel disjointed.
@@Neion8 Oh yeah, I can definitly see how some people like it and and respect what that part of the story is doing, I just don't enjoy it myself.
Of course, you're right in that it does show off how much the Hobbits have grown, among other things!
Hobbit Pitch Meeting:

Having a long epilogue sounds like a good thing to me. I always hate it when we never get to see the main characters enjoy the peace they won. Just "Yay, we won, party!" and then roll credits is always super unsatisfying.
But that could've been done in a better way
“Long epilogues are TIGHT!”

You should do the Rock (1996) and Face/Off (1997)

Writer: "Actually, that I.O.U. was good for one battle only."

I think it might even have been good for one defense of Minas tirith only too. Still, I guess they could have asked the ghosts if they'd mind doing them a favor, lol. Could have put a nice mausoleum in their cave or something.
@@SomeGuy-ty7kr The best part is they didn't even fight in defense of Minas Tirith in the books. They just helped Aragorn and co. take over the pirate ships that were sailing up river to support Sauron while recruiting a lot of southern Gondorians that the pirates had been terrorizing to help in the actual battle. The I.O.U. wasn't even good for a 1 whole battle.
