“You shall have my sword!”
“And you shall have my bow!”
“And my axe!”
Asia: “How’s he gonna carry all that??” 😂😂😂
I came looking for this exact comment. 🤣
My brother and I saw this in the theater. They said “You shall have my sword!”
“And you shall have my bow!”
“And my axe!”
My brother immediately said, "and my HK!"
Meaning his new HK handgun he'd recently bought. LOL
I always remember that when I see this scene.
It's a good question though, because at the end of this film we learn that Frodo cannot, and that is why he does it alone.
You know, that does seem like piling it on, when you think about it.😂
I DIED! 😆💀💜 -x-
Things I love in life:
1. Watching the Lord of the Rings again and again.
2. Watching others experience the joy of seeing the films for the first time!
Also, no other movie has ever made 9 blokes walking past a rock look so epic.
I super-lucked out and found a 6-disc set of the Hobbit and LOTR movies in a bin at Walmart. Now, one of those discs is pretty much always in my PS4. If I get bored and can't find anything, I just play whichever disc is already in. Never fails to draw me in. Even though I'd read the books at least 4 or 5 times through before the movies came out.
Oh yes! 🤗
1. And again and again and again. It's an every couple years, one weekend, event for my family in my theater room.
2. Pretty fun, right?
Heyy. I love “It’s Mr Video” too!
Gotta admit I love my HP movies too
Asia says “His feet look like your feet…earth grabbers.” I freaking died laughing.
Same 😂😂
Poor dude 😆
Big Fan of Asia, but BJ didnt have that coming.
@@empirecity61 if u watch their other reactions, you know he did! 😆
Earthgrabbers!!!!!!
17:11 Christopher Lee is a legend.. He was the only Lord of the Rings star to have met the writer of the books, JRR Tolkien (1892-1973). He played Dracula through the 1950's through the 1970's. He was in Star Wars, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He was in the Royal Air Force during WW2, and he was a singer up until he passed.
He apparently wanted to play Gandalf, but he was too old and not physically capable enough to play the part. So he played Saruman, instead.. Which works out, because I think he was great in his role, and his voice was perfect.
He was also in a metal band. 👍😎
@@honorsilverthorne7227 So I've heard. I haven't listened to any of it first hand though.
Dan Vasc said in livestreams that Christopher was supposed to eventually do something on his album (I forget what), but he got ill and then past away.
Lee was in the British special forces and had extensive combat experience. That's is why, when Jackson wanted him to go into spasms of agony when he got stabbed by Wormtounge, Lee had to correct him and play the part properly as someone who knew exactly how men reacted and died when stabbed in the back.
Asia mentioned not being the "LotR" type going into this, and having seen enough reactions to this series at this point that I knew- as soon as I saw the expression of pure enchantment on her face as she looked out over the Shire- that she was hooked. This story is timeless, and the films are a wonderful introduction to it.
I... can't even begin to express how incredible this "movie" is. The Hobbit trilogy died sadly in production hell, and I don't think I would've appreciated del Toro's vision as much as I would've wanted to (he's a legendary visionary filmmakery and I lovey him)... but when PJ's behind the scenes (that... sounds wrong) clip of him telling his crew "This is real. We stumbled across the most accurate historical retelling of these events archaeologically and we're going to try to make a film about it"
Now BEFORE that I was (super psychotic fantasy book fangirl here, Wheel of Time is my all "time" favourite, LotR a very very VERY close second) terrified. Saw rumors on the net back in the ancient day (when I still had dial up) that they were going to make a live action Lord of the Rings.
I was with my best friend, HER best friend, and a guy we were both friends with (who I could beat in HEMA swordfights despite that being "his thing" and me giving him books on it like... bro, if you goin do dis den FACKING TRAIN, you're exceptional.........)
Anyway sorry, I'm drunk.
I don't remember the movie we were watching, we were in theatre, and it opens with Frodo stalking around doing his "no one knows it's here, do they. DO they, Gandalf?" And (the first FLICKING reveal of Gandalf walks into the literal frame) .....
Then it cuts to the black riders, and *THE BRAVEHEART SOUNDTRACK PLAYS* some super psychotic God and all good things bless that nerd managed to do that, everyone sits in the dark watching the rest of the film.
I literally started squealing out loud when Gandalf stepped into frame "LORDOFTHERINGSLORDOFTHERINGSLORDOFTHERINGS!!!!" when Cass grabbed my arm laughing, and Rob asks later on why I freaked out. I freaked OUT because it actually LOOKED good, the acting was great, I LOVED Elijah Wood with a passion (fight me Flipper) and it just seemed so pitch perfect.
Then 9:11 happened. And the movie that was already fully in production and very much at its final product landed right after that. And somehow, because apparently we always notice positive happenstance they say and we ignore everything else (which I disagree with).... this movie ends with Samwise standing there, looking off into the future, and the rest of the scene dissolves into all of us walking into a very dangerous distance.
Not away, but towards. "....into the very fires of Mordor."
(also, for "casual" nerds like me, the way they say "Mordor" is... mwah)
YOU ARE NOT THE SUCKO! Unless you mean spikes suck, in which case they do when we step on them.
Drunk?
*smiles, hugs*
Cracks me up that when I go to church the most Christian movies I make everyone try to watch are Matrix Tril and LotR
the look of total rapture on Asia's face for 40 minutes says it all. I love watching new LotR fans being born😍
It's sad how often I'm searching for return of the king reactions so I can binge someone's full reaction to the trilogy. I need friends
Especially if they read the books
Asia had me choking on my popcorn when she said "Why does he have to say it like that?" When Gandalf told Frodo about the ring. I laughed so hard I inhaled a popcorn kernel.😂😂
Best counter from Asia: "I cant carry all of that!" after they all offered to try protect Frodo on his journey 🤣
BJ: "it's like the ring's got a LoJack on it"
I laughed way too hard walking through the grocery store while listening to this lol
Just imagine the ring's voice like it's the shoulder devil in emperor's new groove
This isn't a kid's movie, it's a Fairytale for adults. THE Fairytale
There are definitely fairytale-like stories in middle earth, but lord of the rings is more of an epic.
Yes, right. Tolkien wanted to invent a rich english mythology as compensation for its sparseness. Almost all of British mythology is of french (Artus) origin, so he thought of a history, civilizations, idioms and very slowly over decades, middle earth was born. It never was meant as a child‘s book by him.
@@losmosquitos1108 French and Norse. Look up “Das Rheingold” the original LOTR
It's not a fairy tale, It's an attempt on the classic genre of Epic.
The greatest tale ❤
Not only is this one of the best trilogies ever produced but it has one of the finest scores for a film ever produced. Fun fact: The score was composed by Howard Shore who was once the musical director on Saturday Night Live.
@suprchickn7745 Exactly!
But I wish they would've put more songs into the movies.
I remember when I read the books, I wished I would know the melody of the songs. Like Tom Bombadil's song for example.
When I heard that there will be a LotR remake, I was like:"Finally, I'll learn all the melodies!" And then they didn't include Tom at all. :'D
But the music is so great. I have fond memories or learning to play the soundtrack on my saxophone as a young teenager. (Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean were my favorite soundtracks to play)
And a few years ago, I was able to visit a concert where they played the LotR soundtrack live with an orchestra. And Billy (the actor of Pippin) was also there and he sang live. Such a funny guy.
I still love the music. So nostalgic. It feels like home when you listen to it.
Did you know that the composer actually created instruments to make the sounds he wanted?
20:46 Great to see BJ pick up on so many small details that many reactors seem to miss, and make plot connections that initially confuse others… and fun to see Asia fall for every jump-scare as they come along !
The more you learn about LOTR, you realize how amazing it is that Bilbo was able to drop the ring of his own free will. His ability to drop the evil he's carried for decades. Letting it go to travel on a new journey of adventure, for a final chapter of life into the light beyond the horizon, unburdened by a great evil...
yes but you saw before he parted the Shire, that the ring was beginning to corrupt even a Hobbit. He called it "My precious," just like Gollum.
@@jeannichols2459 yes but that's after decades of having it. It's bound to corrupt eventually and even then after calling it his precious, he was able to let it go
When mere moments with it corrupted gollum to a point he killed the person closest to him
I haven’t read the book but did the Ring play a part in that? Like it knew it needed to be away from Bilbo to have more of a chance to getting back home? Now that it was awake and had heard the call, it needed to be in different hands?
@@Drummer4President just consider this for your opinion; would the ring want to leave him when bilbo was leaving his house on a journey all alone? Bilbo who struggled to drop it at the door - Old, feeble, and alone on a long journey with the evil ring...
No, I believe the ring didn't want to be left behind at that point. In fact, being with bilbo would have only made it easier to take or find.
Even more so with the hold it had over bilbo
@@DogmaticNonsense I wasn’t asking about reader interpretation or opinions. I was asking if the book made it clear either way whether the ring wanted to leave him or not?
Because from my opinion, yes Bilbo would have been a choice target on the road, but he had also had the ring for some years without turning into golem. But he was starting to turn, so may have fought for it. So if it had wanted to stay, it could have been hoping to ensnare someone less weak willed than Bilbo, or Frodo even.
I was just asking for clarification without having to read the book really 🙂🤷🏼
An older brother gave me a copy of The Hobbit as a birthday present, after finishing it I checked out all 3 of the LOTR books from the library as fast as I finished them.
The author JRR Tolkien was a veteran of the trenches in WWI and an Oxford professor in British folklore/literature, so he had insight into real courage and skill in bringing characters to life. The Middle Earth stories began as bedtime stories he made up off the top of his head for his kids.
Tolkien was friends with the guy that wrote the Narnia series, C.S. Lewis. He was another Oxford professor that would meet at a pub with Oxford types, have drinks and make up stories. Tolkien and Lewis actually had a gentleman's bet over who could write the best books for kids.
When the Company made the movie, they built the entire village of the Shire for real in New Zealand. It's still there!
Applications for rent and mortgage available now!
Seen about 20 other channels react to the trilogy. BJ is all over it. He’s getting every nuance and understands the plot and meanings more than any reactor I’ve seen so far. Bravo!
I totally agree!
I think they watched lotr before. They have poster on the wall in background
@@sachisachi7165 That doesn't mean anything. They probably got a lot of movie posters to decorate their room.
@@sachisachi7165 these guys don't seem the type tbh. If they are they're great actors and we have all been suckered lol
@@sachisachi7165 I mean, it's not like they have a giant poster of LOTR and only LOTR on their wall, it's a lot of posters of different movies, I doubt they've seen all of them.
These movies do the Ringwraiths justice. In the books, the first book especially, they are absolutely terrifying. The way they seem to manifest from the shadows. You guys are gonna love this series!!!
"When you a wizard you can't be losin' your staff" hahaha
When one realizes the staff will never limit the essence of one of the Ainur that sang the world into being. ;)❤❤❤ but yeah very funny comment from him
So true
@@Makkaru112 *spoilers below for the films and books*
We honestly don't know the nature of the wizards' staffs. On the one hand yes, they are Maiar spirits and have an inherent power that would not require a staff to use. But on the other the staffs are shown as being significant to the Istari. Gandalf insists on bringing his staff with him when they meet with Theoden and seems to use it in the process of helping him. When Gandalf destroys Saruman's staff Saruman's powers seem to be drastically reduced. The Valar gave the Istari the bodies of old men to remind them to be humble, so it's not unlikely that those bodies also limited their power. Obviously Gandalf was still able to defeat his fellow Maia (the Balrog) without his staff, but it was only in direct conflict with other beings from Valinor that the wizards were permitted to use the full extent of their powers. So maybe the staffs are tied to their ability to use their powers on beings in middle-earth; because they don't have permission from the Valar to use their full powers for middle-earth, they are only able to use their powers to the allowed extent through their staffs. This, of course, is contradicted by the wizard duel in the film, but obviously the fight didn't actually happen in the book. It didn't need to, because as the leader of the Istari Saruman had dominion over Gandalf. There was nothing Gandalf could have done to oppose him in that regard. The same way that once Gandalf was given Saruman's old 'job' he had dominion over Saruman, who could do nothing to oppose him.
The point is, the staffs are significant in some regard. Though I suspect your motivation for your comment might have just been you seeing an opportunity to flex your Tolkien lore knowledge and taking it ;)
"Why's he gotta say it like that?"
"Cuz it's an emergency" 😂😂😂
OK, finally headed over to Patreon so I can finally see full reactions. I am missing out on more gems like this lol
"STOP TAKING ME FOR SOME CONJURER OF CHEAP TRICKS!!"
Asia: "OK..."
Ohhhh myyyy Gawwwwd 😱 I never imagined you 2 would do this trilogy... I AM SO FLIPPIN EXCITED!! We all say, humbly, without trying to push too hard... this is the greatest story ever adapted to film. You are both going to be astonished in the range of emotions this movie (these movies) will bring out of you. The world-building in this movie will suck you in IMMEDIATELY.... and don't fret about the length of the movies.... every utuber ever: I dont know if my attention span can go 4hrs... 4hrs later: WHAT?!? IT'S OVER!??! NOOOOOOO
Maaaaaan - I'm so f'ing hyped! 🥳
Peter Jackson made the written word of this story come to life, what a fantastic job, made my dreams come true. First I read The Hobbit, loved it and then my boyfriend gifted me a special bound edition of the Trilogy, I never wanted it to end. I hope Asia and BJ enjoy it as much as we did. Cheers
It's just tobacco. Book author Tolkien was as inveterate pipe smoker and brought pipe-smoking into his fantasy world. However, Miidli-Earth was supposed to be ancient Europe, so he didn't feel right using the Native American word tobacco, so he just called it pipeweed. The book was published in the 50s, and he had spent about 20 years writing it, so it would predate the common use of "weed" as slang for marijuana. When American hippies discovered LOTR and thought that everyone was getting high on weed all the time, Tolkien was not very happy.
Asia has one of the best laughs I’ve ever heard. Totally contagious. Enjoy the greatest movies ever made!
Right? I was smiling like a loon watching this. 😆
She truly does. I wished she would do those try not to laugh. At least the drunk ones or Tony Baker. It would be so entertaining.
I was never into these types of movies either. I didn't even start watching LOTR until about eight years after they had come out. Once I saw them I was completely hooked. I boight the extended version DVDs and have watched them more times than I can count. So excited to be watching these with you guys!
I think we would all be truly lucky if we could have a friend who is as brave and loyal as Samwise Gamgee. But I must admit I'm glad to see you both enjoying this movie.
Sam is the REAL hero
I truly believe Frodo would have never made it if Samwise had not been there for him.
Samwise is the real hero as far as I am concerned.
@@MasterBiffpudwell That is so true. Frodo is so lucky to have Samwise with him during the journey.
I read a story which referred to “Samwise Gamgee and his assistant carrying the ring to Mordor.”
@@MasterBiffpudwellmade it where? Keep your thoughts and opinions to yourself until they finish
“I can’t carry all that!” 😂 😂
Me and my husband fell out laughing. Love you, Asia.
Reactions like yours are why I'm totally fine if someone says "Never seen it before"
Can't wait to see the rest. 😊
I think one of the most impressive things about these films is the landscape, which is all in New Zealand, where the director is from. It's REALLY like this, this gorgeous, magical scenery.
*flash of Sauron's eye*
Asia: i dont want that, i want nothin to do with that
Classic "i dont want the smoke" reaction i love it 😆
I have seen so many reactions to this but I gotta say, this is hands down one of the best reactions to LOTR that I've seen thus far. Watching y'all reaction made me excited for what y'all were about to see and learn from beginning to end. I can't wait to see your reaction to parts two and three. 😊
Oh, fun fact, Christopher Lee (the actor who played Saruman) was a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings books, and read them every year. He was also the only member of the cast who actually met J.R.R Tolkien in real life. He was also the cousin of Ian Fleming, the man who wrote the James Bond books.
Y'all have SO much understanding from the first viewing! I've seen a lot of reactions and most times people don't really understand what's going on 😅 honestly, i barely knew what was going on in my first viewing. You're great at interpreting movies. also, y'all had me cracking up!! 🤣
BJ mentioning Radio Flyer is a huge deal. That’s such a forgotten movie, and one that I watched a lot as a kid despite it being a sad, difficult movie to watch, that I somehow still loved and revisited because of how it made me feel. LotR are fabulous movies and I’m so grateful you’re watching the extended cuts. They’re superior and these movies are incredible. Enjoy!
I find it amazing that there are still people out there who haven't seen these movies - glad you've found the time to react to them.... judging by this reaction, you are in for one hell of a ride 🙂
👏🏾👏🏾Last night was "my FIRST time EVER" watching LOT in it's entirety. Have to say, i absolutely, positively loved it!! Gunna' check out The Two Towers in a few minutes!👏🏾👏🏾
Asia's reaction the first time the eye flashes on the screen says it all.
The LoJack line was classic, as well as both their reactions every time the orcs were in frame.
Watching you two...after telling us that you don't think you'll like this type of movie...and you're both already so invested...and both fully protected by the Blanket of Safety...yeah, thus is going to be a wild ride!
Loved your reaction! Love your channel! The "weed" is actually just tobacco. Tolkien himself was a pipe smoker. 🙂
@39:00 “They gotta take it to Mordor.” “Not me.”😆
You two keep your child like spirit in your hearts which is great. It’s a wonderful thing to stay as a child at heart when your an adult. It keeps us a bit innocent & grounded. You seemed to really enjoy this incredible work of art based upon the literary masterpiece that is the Lord of the Rings with wide eyes & a big smile. Movies are amazing & being able to enjoy a great movie on movie night as you two did is one of the great simple pleasures in life. It’s always nice to see reactors getting joy from a movie. You two are an adorable couple too. No matter how many times I rewatch LotR, it never gets old.🙂👍
I just love merry and pippin chaotic troublemaker duo, they will never stop doing stupid shit 😂
So glad you enjoy the LOTR story! It's pretty much "the" fantasy story known to modern people, and has established many trends and archetypes that fantasy writers have reused tirelessly.
This soundtrack is one of the best ever.
After watching your channels custom animated splash screen and intro to your video, I instantly liked the video before it even started hahaha. I honestly love your channel guys. Your Matrix reaction was amazing to watch so, I can only imagine a movie trilogy as EPIC as Lord Of The Rings is going to be top tier entertainment.
Keep it up guys!! 🔥
The One Ring’s power over people explained here:As for the rings given to these groups:They were all meant to go to the elves but Mairon of the Maiar disguised as a high elf named Annatar when he came to the elves pretending to be an emissary from Valinor on behalf of the Valar so it makes sense how alluring the ring is and how strong it’s pull on people is. (A bit too instant in the movies though) Galadriel soon saw right through him and especially when after speaking with him regarding not remembering him when in Valinor long ago where she learned from all the Valar thanks to being dominantly Vanyar/Teleri side over her Ñoldorin side where she gleaned from that encounter that she did not study under Aulë the Vala with any elf named Annatar ! But later named Sauron by the elves meaning deceiver! After all of this, The three elven rings were made in secret without Saurons touch upon them thanks to Celebrimbor! Remember Gandalf before he became Gandalf was the same species of entity Sauron used to be!! Wow hey? The Rings, in this case, would have lost their powers eventually due to the lack of the One Ring and possibly because they were designed to defeat evil, and evil, in the form of Sauron, had been defeated. The Three Elven Rings served their purpose for a long time. Two out of three of them had several different bearers Unlike the other Rings, the main purpose of the Three is to "heal and preserve", as when Galadriel used Nenya to preserve her realm of Lothlórien over long periods. The Elves made the Three Rings to try to halt the passage of time, or as Tolkien had Elrond say, "to preserve all things unstained". I can expand upon this based on any further statements and questions you have for me as a reply to this comment ! ❤ Aside from the three Elven Rings Made In Secret Without Saurons presence or touch upon them through Celebrimbor!

OMGGGG IT’S HAPPENING 🗣🗣🗣everybody stay calm 🚨 everybody STAY CALM🔈🚨STAY F***ING CALM🗣🔈🚨🚨🚨
No but fr, I can already tell you’re gonna LOVE this. Thank you for taking us with you in this wonderful journey.
Also please tell me you’re watching the extended edition🙏All the love!
Glad to see you're both doing the greatest fantasy trilogy of all time, doubt this one will be bettered for a long time!. Fun fact: If you wind back to when the Hobbits enter Bree, the fat guy eating a carrot who burps at the camera as he walks by...is the trilogy director, Peter Jackson in one of his cameos.
Thanks for reacting to my most FAVORITE of FAVORITES!! The most beautifully done and meaningful story of our time! It has the best messages at its ending too!! The battle scenes are nothing short of epic. Strap in. Its about to get wicked!🤘🤘
"He mopped the floor with Gandalf"
I have never heard anyone say that - I laughed SO HARD!!! Man, I don't think there's a single movie I wouldn't love to watch with you two. :D
Literally!
Aragorn: "You have my sword."
Legolas: "And my bow."
Gimli: "And my axe."
Asia: "Pfft. I can't carry all'a that."
😂😂🤣 Never change! ❤
Can't wait for Pt. 2! Been a long time comin'! 🤘 I'm calling it now: this is gonna be one of y'all's favorite franchises.
"I can't carry all that!" Is possibly the funniest thing I've ever heard.
"Look at his feet, babe. Looks like your feet" HILARIOUS
“Battle of the wizards, power of the mind.” Best way to explain this scene.
"HE JUST MOPPED THE FLOOR WITH GANDALF". BRILLIANT. SIMPLY BRILLIANT.
"oh that a goblin. You know that thing was forged in EVIL". Love it.
When you were talking about Elijah Wood being a great actor as a child, it made me realise y'all should watch 'The Good Son' it's a great movie with Elijah Wood and another great child actor Macaulay Culkin. It's a movie where both child actors go toe to toe in a thriller.
Macaulay gives a chilling performance in that one.
Imagine if they watched Elijah Wood in Maniac
@@delphipriestess9968 Elijah was also in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Weird name, great film.
Talking about child actors, even in this category Sean Astin is as usual the most underrated actor ever to be acting in a generation-defining cult movie. Goonies, to be precise...
Such an underrated movie! It creeped me out like nothing else
BJ is sharp and really good about picking up on details and figuring out plot twists. And Asia is so adorable with a huge heart! I just love her so much 💕
FINALLY!!!! I have been waiting for my favorite reacting team to watch this. Enjoyed watching this with you guys, can't wait to see you complete the series. This is hands down my favorite movie series ever. I am 66 years old. I have seen many movies over the years. These three movies were awsome Academy award winners.
❤️❤️ Debra
You two are in for an amazing time! This trilogy is a masterpiece.
Saw all 3 movies in theaters when they released. So good.
Just discovered you guys through this video, and I am honestly impressed. You guys picked up on so many underlying themes on your first viewing. Y'all gained a new subscriber, looking forward to seeing the rest of the trilogy!
Hey, Thanks Benjamin!! Welcome in and we appreciate your comment and sub! ☺️
Dear Asia & BJ, I was in cinema on all 3 movies from 2001-2003! Seeing this masterpiece (and Harry Potter) on a big screen was spectacular! Hope its the extended version you guys are watching! Have lots of fun and greetings from the heart from Germany! ❤
You were in the cinema for 3 years? 🤣😜😉
@@BintyMcFrazzles T'was a long movie.
@@BintyMcFrazzles maybe that is how long the ultra-mega extended versions are... 😁
@@DanVibesTV and worth every second
@@BintyMcFrazzles Oh well, smarty-pants. I’ll bet you can’t write in German.
There is actually a reason why the Hobbits are the best keepers of the One Ring: They have no ambition, at least not one that the Ring can translate to corrupt them. Sure they'll EVENTUALLY start to fall to the Ring's influence, but only once it's worn them down a great ways.
Basically This
The Ring: "Use my power, and I shall make you the... greatest garlic farmer... in Middle-Earth?"
Hobbit: "OR, I could just head over to the inn, have some cups, and ooh, pipeweed and brandy would be great, maybe with a lovely meat and cheese plate, and some good yeast rolls with garlic butter...." *continues going on about food for 40 minutes unbroken.
Ring: *screams in frustration*
Fellowship of the Ring is my favorite film of all time. Having the opportunity to see you all watching it for the first time made it hilarious and exciting again. Looking forward to part 2!
"But if we had a headless horseman after us, you walking through that?"
"I'm walking through that."
😂😂😂☠
LOL "I can't carry all that".....I just saw a meme other day of Frodo trying to carry all those weapons, very funny
So happy for you guys. You’re starting one of the greatest stories of all time. The Lord of the Rings is an absolute masterpiece.
I love the start of "happy go lucky" feel, this is a kids film and then a few moments later.. the facial expressions became so serious haha
18:10
BJ: "he just mopped the floor with Gandalf" 🤣🤣I'm dead! BJ is a low key genius!
Also I just want to say those ring wraith horsemen tight. I was a kid when this came out and those things were terrifying! 😂
I am so stoked to see you guys watch this movie! The whole series is FIRE!! I have read all the books numerous times. I hope y'all are having a great day. Much love! 🙂
I just love watching you two.... puts a smile on my face in these times.... Cheers !
These films are the best. No arguments 😅 thank you for watching this one hope you enjoyed, try the books if you haven’t!
The moment you two started movie reactions, I've been waiting for this epic trilogy! Welcome to the LOTR family 😀 You are in for a life changing experience.
Asia in the beginning: “I thought this was a kids’ movie.”
Well, maybe for another few minutes haha. I haven’t finished the reaction yet but I already love how much you guy are into it and picking up on stuff so quickly!
Asian’s comment made me laugh. You can have my sword and you can have my bow and my axe. Asian’s comment I can’t carry all of that.
i've seen so many people react to this and i'm very impressed with how much you're picking up on!! You both caught so many nuances that people usually don't notice in a first watch-through. Even just the fact that the ring alters people's minds is lost on some 😂SO excited for the rest of the trilogy!!
I cant wait for part 2!!! The best movies made of all time. So glad we all get to share this experience together as it's your first time watching!!
Not sure if you noticed but Legolas is played by Orlando Bloom. He was also Will Turner in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
i'm in love with Orlando Bloom. Sooo COOL in this movie!!!!!!!!!
Still can't believe that there are people that haven't watched this masterpiece 😭
honestly I watched very late in my life because I'm really not into that kind of movies, I started watching GoT end of season 5 or I've never seen start war for exemple, I know the emblematic quotes but that is it :/ it happens, I bet you maybe they don't watch this type of movie but like Jackie chan, Jean-Claude Van Damme or rush hours are more the kind of movies they were into growing up, it is cool start seeing people react to movie that are out of their "confort zone" it is because of that we reunite here to share this moment and to experience as it is was our first time seeing too ;)
Asia had me in tears. I had to pause. I can't carry all of that.... AWESOME!!
I'm so glad you guys are watching this!! LOTR Is a true masterpiece!
"Oh he done did this before!" This was actually Vigos Mortensons first sword scene, he was cast at the last minute so only had one session with the swordmaster Bob Anderson (who has directed almost all fencing scenes in film) and between takes to make this look like he's an experienced fencer. Bob called him "the best swordsman I've ever trained."
It's so great to see you enjoying the movie, and especially without knowing the storyline. Amazing how quickly you guys pick ip on all the important things and how the characters are. I cannot wait to watch the rest of it with you!
I don’t think I’ve looked forward to reactors watching Lord of the Rings more than y’all lol if you haven’t viewed the extended edition for this first movie, please do yourselves a favor and watch the extended versions for the other 2. Trust!
He said "its a wizard showdown." 🤣 🤣
Something that isn't really conveyed well in the movies (conveyed as well as they could have done though) is the fact that in order to get Bilbo to let go of the ring, Gandalf was using some incredibly powerful charm or persuasion spells if I remember correctly, and he was still hesitant about giving it up. I also love the fact that the ring clings to his hand as he drops it and falls to the ground without bouncing seemingly defying physics. It has it's own will and from the earliest stages we see it doing all it can to return to its master.
Asia and BJ, you all should watch the theatrical version of the last two movies. First time viewers will enjoy it more. If you love the theatrical then you could watch the extended version later.
12:20 -- Asia: "I don't want nothin' to do with that!"
Me: "Indeed, you don't. In fact, you have no idea how right you are."
So glad to see you two have started this series. I saw all three movies in theaters, and adored both Peter Jackson's vision and the performances of so many wonderful actors in bringing Tolkien's amazing world to life.
Enjoy!
I have watched a couple of your videos and enjoyed them, but with this one you gained a subscription from me. You both treated this movie with the respect it deserves and demands. Thank you both so much for this phenomenal reaction.
Hey, Thanks Denise!!! Welcome In and we really appreciate both your words & sub!!
15:08 He said it that way for dramatic emphasis. This is what is written on the ring in an elvish writing system by Sauron. Also, it’s from the book as a famous poem from the “Fellowship of the Ring”.
It was very subtle, but when the ring was first revealed, there was evil whispering to the men, the elves, but stopped abruptly when it showed the dwarves. They are immune to it's corrupting influence.
Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings film trilogy is a masterpiece. My favorite films of all time. I've watched them more than a dozen, maybe dozens of times, at least once a year
This is my comfort movie, because the lines between good and evil, moral and immoral are shown as honorable and dishonorable. I really hope you both enjoy this movie, it's well done.
First time seeing you guys. Amazing reaction. Startlingly perceptive- I thinnk you picked up on a lot of subtleties much more quickly than most reactors and Asia's comments are pure gold. Thanks
@Asia and BJ God Bless your patrons as they had the good sense to get you all to watch and love this :), Oh this is going to be an amazing ride
You two are both hilarious and intelligent. Loving this reaction!
These films truly are masterpiece, art, the detail is craaazy from the ring shrinking down from saurons finger size to the ring hitting the floor like a led weight without bouncing when bilbo drops it, these films do not get old they have a replay value of infinite.
the details of this movie's worldbuilding is crazy :) they've hired so many experts to create different cultures and topics, like therer were smiths to forge weapons, and there was Tom Shippey - a renowned literature profesor - as their main literature consultant (about Tolkien books), and the caligrapher who wrote all the books the charachters use in the movie - the writing in those books was not some incoherent babble, it was written in Tolkien languages - elven and dwarven languages - and of course there was also a jeweler who made every version of the prop of the Ring - from the smallest to the biggest version used in the movie. I remember that story about their caligrapher. He wrote one of those books and knowing elven language he did a prank - wrote some unparlamentary words in there. :D And one of their consultants of languages found out and told PJ and PJ told the caligrapher to change it :) Becouse the languages consultant and PJ knew that there will be fans in the audience who would be able to read this :) Well, it would be unending laugh from PJ team if that "elven curse" :D was left to be seen on big screen as one of the pages of elven book :D
Yes! The extended edition dvd's have some of the most extensive and amazing behind the scenes that I have ever seen. The way they were made was absolutely historic and groundbreaking so it's great to see that documented so thoroughly.
@@laurelrosegardens6454 for me it was impressive that they got to make 2 or 3 versions of every prop according to the height of actors :) Imagine every table, cup, rug on the floor and chandeliler made two times as bigger and smaller for bigger and smaller actors. And then it was the problems with costumes oh my :) As far as I could find out Frodo got 10 costumes and most other main roles got different costumes from clean to rugged, bloodied etc... and then it was the problem of making those costumes for bigger and smaller actors -not only one for tall hobbits actors and for tall human/elves actors but also for small doubles of hobbit actors when the hobbits must be compared to tall heroes and for big doubles of human/elves actors when the human/elves actors must be compared to small hobbit heroes :) They not only got smaller doubles for hobbit actors but also big doubles standing for Ian McKellen and Viggo Mortensen :) It was all part of "Scale doubles". Jeez I just love the Ext. DVD with all those production stories :) I love the ideas - how to make Rivendell's waterfalls to look so great but be cheap :) how to make an armour for Elendil guy who will be smashed on the rock, how to build a "vikings village" with wood and straw roofs :) how to train 200 horses for battle scenes etc.... Jeez I love those guys :)
"He just mopped the floor with Gandalf!" This is probably the first time ever I wanted someone to say, "literally."
Fun fact: When Pippin mentioned "second breakfast" (and other meals), this may have been humorous BUT: on average, smaller creatures actually _do_ need to eat more (relative to body weight) than larger ones. Thus, larger and/or more frequent meals.
One of my favorite movie series of all time. It hits every emotion and you get so invested in the characters. ❤❤❤
It does everything so well
I love the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy! I watched all three in the movies! Glad y'all are watching and hope y'all enjoy them!
What's cool is that after the theatrical releases, the Blu-Ray releases were even better.
