So Gandalf was trolling them through ventriloquism, like he did Tom, Bert and Bill Huggins? That doesn't make sense. The fact is that it was Gandalf's voice, but they thought he was dead so it must be Saruman. This movie is idiotic, deceiving the audience so they won't know it's Gandalf, when they show it's Eowyn not Dernhelm from square 1.
"A great smoke rose about us, vapour and steam. Ice fell like rain. I threw down my enemy, and he fell from the high place and broke the mountain-side where he smote it in his ruin. Then darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell. ‘Naked I was sent back - for a brief time, until my task is done. And naked I lay upon the mountain-top. The tower behind was crumbled into dust, the window gone; the ruined stair was choked with burned and broken stone. I was alone, forgotten, without escape upon the hard horn of the world. There I lay staring upward, while the stars wheeled over, and each day was as long as a life-age of the earth. Faint to my ears came the gathered rumour of all lands: the springing and the dying, the song and the weeping, and the slow everlasting groan of over-burdened stone. And so at the last Gwaihir the Windlord found me again, and he took me up and bore me away." -The Two Towers Ch. 5
I think they did that as a way of representing the fact that Gandalf became the new white wizard as Saruman betrayed his quest to aid in destroying Sauron. So Saruman then became the wizard of many colors (ironic right?).

I read that Patrick Stewart and Sean Connery both turned sow the role as Gandalf. I'm certainly glad they did. I can't anybody doing a better job than Ian McKellan.
I could see Patrick Steward as Gandalf. Granted the execution of the character would have been different than Ian's, but I'm certain that Patrick would have done a fine job and made it his own. Mr Connery however... much as I like him. He's a bit of a ham. I don't think he would have made a good fit for the character of Gandalf.
@@VeryDeathlyShiny Connery's too hard of a guy to play someone as eloquent as Gandalf. A gentle Shakespearian actor is perfect for Gandalf, and yet can also exude strength and be stern when needed.
If you read the books you'll discover that he actually has a bigger role than just saying stupid things that makes the audience laugh. Gimli is a badass, not comedic relief. He has action, not words
@@Kris-lu1rs Well it's a movie, and you need some comedic relief. I feel like Gimli in the movie provided adequate action and comedic relief at the same time.
Gandalf: "Why did you not take the Eagles?" Aragorn: "The Eagles? What now?" Gandalf: "The Eagles that were waiting for you a short way to the north once out of Moria." Legolas: "You never told us about the Eagles." Gandalf: "Did I or did I not tell you fools to 'fly'?"
Gimli: "Don't you think it would have been better to inform us ahead of time?!" Gandalf: "Well... perhaps, but all is well that ends well." Aragorn: "Tell that to fucking Boromir!"
I always have to remind myself that he's essentially been reset and despite retaining memories his personality and power is changed a lot by necessity.
4:33 Gimli's expression pretty much summed up my reaction too. After that, I went ape-shit while still crying, "GANDAAAAALF, YOU'RE BACK! LET ME HUG YOOOUUUUUU!!!"
Me too. And so actually does Ian McKellen. He enjoyed playing Gandalf the Grey because of his character being less distant and more friendly and warm than Gandalf the White. It's the same reason why I prefer The Grey and it might me because after his death he returned to Valinor for several "lifetimes". So obviously he might have forgotten about everything he's experienced and isn't able to recall his memories clearly. Just notice how he says the line about his name as if didn't remember that until that moment. Gandalf the Grey spent a long time in Middle earth, so he got familiar with its people and assimilated a bit, just to forget his experience during his return and learn everything again.
@@UsmartOne no they are not Gandalf the Grey is not Much Powerful because he have no permission to use his power, and also at this point saruman is the Head/Lord of the Istari. As when Gandalf the White is sent back to Middle Earth The Leadership of Saruman is taken from him and Is Given to Gandalf the white Which makes him More Powerful 🧙♂️
A charming way to say:Dam Gandalf you are resurrected, you have a greater power and have a better appearance but you still speak bullsh*t I don't have any clue about. 😂😂😂
When I first saw this scene and Legolas says, "The White Wizard," -me thinking it's Saruman-, then the glow. That glow was so bright, so pure, and uncorrupted, I was thinking, "who-what is this? It can't be Saruman. No imposter, no bad guy could give off a light that brightly." The glow was so flawless.
I love the extended version of this scene. My favorite moment was when Gandalf said "the coming of Merry and Pippin will be like the falling of small stones that starts an avalanche in the mountains." and Aragorn says "in one thing you have not changed, dear friend. You still speak in riddles." and Aragorn whispers those last few lines like he doesn't want Legolas or Gimli to hear them and that comment makes Gandalf feel good and he and Aragorn have that laugh. They've been apart since Moria, not knowing if Gandalf actually died and they're relieved to have him back.

Notice how it's not just the mixing of Ian McKellan and Christopher Lee's voices, but also their faces. At 2:14, you can slowly see Christopher Lee's facial features subtly morph into McKellan.
If I remember correctly all the wizards are only in the guise of old men to appear less powerful and intimidating to mortals, so maybe that is why he said that he is what Saruman should have been.
At home, Mother Balrog is feeding her little baby balrog (let's call him Huey) with Gerber's Processed Orc with Carrots. She looks at the mantleclock next to their honeymoon photo at the beach and wonders out loud: "Your father is late...I hope everything went alright today.".
The struggle of being a Balrog. The dad was just trying to protect his well earned land from foes. He was even going to try to talk the invasive troupe in a reasonable way, until Gandalf started yelling at him that 'he shall not pass'. Confused, he tried to knock the wizard out, only a minor blow to nullify his rant. But soon Gandalf started to beat his staff hard against the Balrog's bridge... his favorite bridge. Angered by this, as the bridge suddenly gave way, he managed to ring his whip around the mean wizard's leg, dragging him down with him. Mr. Balrog died with the name of his son on his lips.
Mr Balrog was only trying to protect the poor people that got attacked by those nasty orcish hooligans, he even chased the naughty goblins away, and then one of them started saying bad words (he said the A*** word!) and called Mr Balrog a Flame of Udûn! And then he started attacking him with a nasty magic staff and an Elvish sword. He even broke the bridge at the back door! The sort of people you get in dark, evil places you drove the dwarves out of these days! Did you hear that their cousin Mr Smaug got driven out of the dwarven kingdom he taken from the dwarves by a group of them? And one of those nasty, rough hobbits. And did you hear about Mr Gollum's Precious? Or Mr Saruman's staff? Oh, and has anyone told you about that nice Mr Sauron's Eye yet? Dreadful things they get up to.
So what happens when you see an old friend after a couple of months? Is it all awkward? I've got friends I only see twice a year - and it's always instant comfort between us when we meet.
I can't remember the first time I saw this scene, but I still get goosebumps when I see Gandalf reappearing. It's the most moving moment in the entire trilogy for me.
Nah Gandalf was brought back to life by Iluvatar himself (or itself?...) And it came back with his full Maia power. The only one who could oppose to Gandalf after this event is Sauron himself, nothing else could even hurt him, not even Saruman

I love Gimli's line at the end and agree. I much prefer Gandalf the Grey over Gandalf the White. The Grey was a gentler character and, to me, just more likable. Gandalf the White seemed to actually take on a few traits of Saruman, becoming more stern and commanding, barking orders rather than asking or suggesting.
Cassimfan The role of Gandalf the Grey was as a guide and diplomat, while the role of Gandalf the White is Sarumans old role, that of a leader and commander. I think the movies do a superb job of depicting the rather large changes to the character that happen when he changes his label, which is a hard thing to portray on film. But yes, the Grey is a friendlier character.
He is Saruman as he should have been. Quite literally..."Saruman" is just the mortal persona of a spirit. White Gandalf was given a similar mortal persona to Saruman but kept his basic instincts
This Gandalf is different from Gandalf the Grey. He died. Gandalf the White is still thinking through things and waiting to see who he is in this world. Thankfully he appeared in an area where he would be found amongst people who knew or know him. His memory comes back a little bit, and he starts to realize his goals. Bromanship crosses over even in death, and we can see that here.
For those that don't know Gandalf is actually equal to the Balrog. Balrogs were formerly Maiar(primordial spirits essentially angels) who were twisted by the words of Morgoth/Melkor and thus became Balrogs. Gandalf is also a Maiar and like Melkor and Sauron his spirit can return to Middle Earth which is how he was able to come back as a White Wizard. For reference Sauron is also a Maiar.
He is a Maia yes but Idk if it's clear old Gandalf was. He himself wasn't even sure and in Moria the Balrog was countering all his spells. The Balrogs along with many other spirits who flocked to Melkors side got a skill upgrade from him. Even Sauron himself became terror we know him as due to Melkor. Before he was just a skilled assistant to Aule. A great craftsman but not known for changing shapes, sorcerercy, and military strategy. That all came from Melkor.

There is a small window of people who had the genuine honour of seeing this scene and being absolutely gobsmacked by it. If you read the books and knew what was going to happen when this film came out in 2002, good for you. If you were born after 2002 and it has entered into common knowledge that Gandalf the Grey becomes Gandalf the White, then good for you also. There is a little window of people like me who are old enough to have not had this knowledge smashed into my head at an early age but I also didn't read the books early enough to know what was going on ( I read them after the movies). The trailers and posters hinted at Gandalf's return, back then. But we had no idea how epic it would be. Imagine, if you will, that you thought Gandalf truly dead and gone. Then watch this again. You'll get a glimmer of that horrible, amazing feeling.
I love how they've mixed Sir Christopher's and Sir Ian's voices, when Gandalf shows up. :D

I love how they react to Gandalf's return, first with relief, then pleasure of being together with one of the wisest being again.
imagine they killed Gandalf by accident
ra1zoo cant, a wizzard must be killed 3 times in succesion in diffrent ways. thats why saroman was stabbed, fell, drowned. wizzards dont die easily.
Torak8988 Like say... Impaled by an arrow, stabbed by an axe, and beheaded by a sword?
SuitedCloud not sure sounds legit to me maybe a bit more creative maybe stabbing wont do it.
Yeah...... that would be pretty fked up
Nah Gandalf was brought back to life by Iluvatar himself (or itself?...) And it came back with his full Maia power. The only one who could oppose to Gandalf after this event is Sauron himself, nothing else could even hurt him, not even Saruman
Gandalf: At last I threw down my enemy and smote his ruin upon the mountainside.
Gimli: That still only counts as one.
Liked, because both are favorite lines of mine. Very well paired.
Trees: **start growling*
Legolas: "The trees are speaking to each other!" **immediately looks at Gimli*
😂😂😂
The Extended edition of this movie is edited so exceptionally good! By the time i had to switch discs i thought 20 minutes passed... its been 105 minutes.
Exactly! For me, The Two Towers is the fastest paced LOTR film.
Beautiful, perfectly shot scene.

I love Gimli's line at the end and agree. I much prefer Gandalf the Grey over Gandalf the White. The Grey was a gentler character and, to me, just more likable. Gandalf the White seemed to actually take on a few traits of Saruman, becoming more stern and commanding, barking orders rather than asking or suggesting.
Cassimfan The role of Gandalf the Grey was as a guide and diplomat, while the role of Gandalf the White is Sarumans old role, that of a leader and commander. I think the movies do a superb job of depicting the rather large changes to the character that happen when he changes his label, which is a hard thing to portray on film. But yes, the Grey is a friendlier character.
I think that was the point.
+Alessandro D. They did the same thing here. Their voices were combined to confuse us.
He is Saruman as he should have been. Quite literally..."Saruman" is just the mortal persona of a spirit. White Gandalf was given a similar mortal persona to Saruman but kept his basic instincts
he barked orders because his voice was like an empowering spell, continually cast on those within earshot.
This movies are truly a master piece and that soundtrack full of emotions. I can't watch any of this movies without crying.
this forest is old
very old
old as balls
old af
This Gandalf is different from Gandalf the Grey. He died. Gandalf the White is still thinking through things and waiting to see who he is in this world. Thankfully he appeared in an area where he would be found amongst people who knew or know him. His memory comes back a little bit, and he starts to realize his goals. Bromanship crosses over even in death, and we can see that here.
2:07 And this is the scene where we first can see just a little of Gandalf's origin. He reveals himself as one of the mighty forces of Arda
For those that don't know Gandalf is actually equal to the Balrog. Balrogs were formerly Maiar(primordial spirits essentially angels) who were twisted by the words of Morgoth/Melkor and thus became Balrogs. Gandalf is also a Maiar and like Melkor and Sauron his spirit can return to Middle Earth which is how he was able to come back as a White Wizard. For reference Sauron is also a Maiar.
Maiar is plural, it’s Maia for single
He is a Maia yes but Idk if it's clear old Gandalf was. He himself wasn't even sure and in Moria the Balrog was countering all his spells. The Balrogs along with many other spirits who flocked to Melkors side got a skill upgrade from him. Even Sauron himself became terror we know him as due to Melkor. Before he was just a skilled assistant to Aule. A great craftsman but not known for changing shapes, sorcerercy, and military strategy. That all came from Melkor.
My favorite line. “I am Saruman, or rather Saruman as he should have been.”
Legolas is the oldest of the trio, yet he's the first to bow to Gandalf and asking for forgiveness
Because he's old enough to know Gandalf's true nature.
Definately one of the best cinematic moments just when we thought all hope may be lost Gandalf swoops in to rekindle it
“this new Gandalf is more grumpy than the old one“ 😅 you just have to love Gimli
04:15 Ian mckellens acting here with the music is beautiful
Ngl but when Aragorn says “Do not let him speak, he will put a spell on us” it gives some major DND role-playing energy lmao
"Cool new powers, Gandalf; will you use them continuously from now on?"
"NO"
So stop your fretting, Master Dwarf!
Merry and Pippin are quite safe. In fact, they are far safer than you are about to be!
Lol
5:31 Sarunan: *profusely sweating*
This scene alone makes the last march of the ents feel even more epic than it already is.
I like how Gimli makes fun of talking trees while HE is litteraly the one Voicing them :D
Aragorn's face after Legolas tells him the White Wizard is approaching! He's like, "Oh, great. Just what we need."
Movies just don't get better than this.
There are so many cool touches in this. Gimli instantly knows the taste of orc blood.
The extended versions should have been the originals.
Gimli seems to be a geography expert
Gandalf respawned.
and leveled up too
After taking all that XP from the Balrog, what makes you think he wouldn't
Yep you get a power-up when you beat the level-boss. That's why he got an extra life.
I love how Gimli changes from ''dank,dark tree-infested'' To ''charming''
Gandalf is my favourite character in any movie. Ian McKellen is an amazing actor!
5:44 has the most delightful smile from Gandalf. It looks truly something between friends.
You know a forest is old when an elf say it is.
such brilliant story-telling, and art that may have been lost, I hope not
Idk why I find Legolas so attractive in this scene but I do..💀
I find him attractive in all of his scenes.
Galadriel was the one who cloaked him in white.
"The Ents are going to wake up and find that they are strong..."
"Strong? Hmm that's good..."
Spihk Heartbust!? Spihk Heartbust Analyze & discuss effects towards Bozeman Hotmail Recipient as result for mail man with mail for Bozeman Hotmail Recipient to retrieve while Bozeman Hotmail Recipient was on Ghnavel!
"New Gandalf bit grumpy that the old one"
I like when he says, "They have feelings, my friend." :) Yes! Yes, they do.
The one time Morgoth is mentioned, cool!
Magnificent performance splendid lines.Not matched by the insipid recent attempts.
To the moment when Legolas says "the trees are speaking to each other" , add "In Vietnamese" to the subtitles.
Meme template ready.
As a kid this scene freaked me the fuck out. I thought for sure gandalf died in the first film.
he can't really die he's truly immortal he was just sent back to the mortal plain to help again and he was promoted.
There is a small window of people who had the genuine honour of seeing this scene and being absolutely gobsmacked by it.
If you read the books and knew what was going to happen when this film came out in 2002, good for you.
If you were born after 2002 and it has entered into common knowledge that Gandalf the Grey becomes Gandalf the White, then good for you also.
There is a little window of people like me who are old enough to have not had this knowledge smashed into my head at an early age but I also didn't read the books early enough to know what was going on ( I read them after the movies).
The trailers and posters hinted at Gandalf's return, back then. But we had no idea how epic it would be.
Imagine, if you will, that you thought Gandalf truly dead and gone. Then watch this again. You'll get a glimmer of that horrible, amazing feeling.
HAWK TUAH. Ork Blood on that thang.
0:04 And that's how Gimli got infected with Orc Aids
If only this was actually Todd Howard
I cant help it but it sounds like "HGHH BBLLB"
O/DIV
"From the lowest dungeon to the highest peak"
Must have been a hell of a run
The runner's high afterward was an absolute killer. He actually died.
I guess I have to watch the extended versions. This slightly less cut version is SO much better than the theatrical version.
A thing is about to happen that has not happened since the elder days, the ents are going to wake up, and find that they are strong.
1:25 "McKenney the white wizard approaches"
sometimes automated captions produce gold
I love how Gandalf is still a little high after a week long Barlogfighting bender & stuff.
Proves that a good fight is better than all the pipe-weed of the Shire.
