- Опубліковано 11 лют 2025
- It's been awhile since our last video blog. As we approach release, we want to show you a bit more of what we've been shooting. Hope you enjoy and we will see you in theaters on December 13.
All of Jackson’s Tolkien movies will still be treasured in a hundred years from now.
There will never be good movies ever again this was such a masterpiece
not these three pieces of crap
except for thranduil-he's the best cinematic elf of all time!
the hobbit movies were terrible
The Scenen where the elfs jumped over the dwars at the last second to fight the orks... absolutly stunning
Does anyone else think that Radagast's reaction to Gandalf's cursing is hilarious? The way he's like wtf?? and turns around, then he's like so seriously "Gandalf what are you talking about??" LOL. Those 2 guys are awesome.
Radagast the Disgusting. Radagast the Fetid. Radagast the druink ShitMaster of ridiculously badly animated rabbits. That Radagast?
When you realized that its been 8 years since the unexpected journey~
Horrible
😭😭😭
I still remember the memes about “im going to a journey” like it was yesterday.
😔😔😔😔
We all got here from an unexpected start.
I love the Thranduil of the movie. I think Lee Pace's interpretation of the character is amazing, cause he (and you all) have found the best way to show us how much the king of mirkwood is different from the other elves already seen in the previous movies. Great job, thank you!
@Alcaraz Van vincent and has swag😎
he is probably the best thing about the movies
@@mangomarielnah the best thing stays Martin Freeman as Bilbo
@ yeah, true
Let’s appreciate and thank you to every teams and every single person who contributed to make these movies happened.
Yeah thanks for the poorly made job.
@@HextorBane in your dream stop crying 1 year old kid is salty
@@mikuhatsune8121This trilogy sucked though. It was a CGI infused cheap thrill ride.
@@LaurensPP in your dream stop crying 1 year old kid is salty
@@LaurensPP _This trilogy sucked though_
It didn't, though. In spite of its glaring flaws (and the Hobbit movies are incredibly flawed, I'm not gonna say otherwise), the trilogy is still vastly superior to the original book on so many levels.
_It was a CGI infused_
And there's nothing fundamentally wrong with CGI. If anything, it gives the movies this ethereal, unrealistic feel which involuntarily suits the tone of the story, seeing as it's a biased and embellished retelling of the events Bilbo witnessed.
_cheap thrill ride_
A flaw inherent to the source material. In the book, there is no real sense of danger, all the tension build-up moments systematically fall flat, there are tons of narrative ellipses with important events happening "off camera", and most of the characters in the book are totally transparent. In short, for the most part it's just the Dwarves constantly running from one place to another and that's pretty much it; the best part of the book being by far the "Riddles in the dark" chapter, with Gollum.
So, if I weigh the pros and cons, we have:
*cons
-the lame humor
-the forced love triangle
-the ridiculous scene with the molten gold statue
-too much Legolas
-too many action scenes, some of which belong more in a video game than in a movie
-WB didn't reinsert the deleted scene where Gandalf talks to Thranduil and asks him if his late wife would have liked to see him cherish the white gems more than his own son
-they changed the tone of the story
*pros
-the original story is still there, albeit bloated and diluted
-the cast is impeccable
-they fleshed out the characters (the Dwarves, the Elven King, Bard, the master of Lake-town...) and the story
-when Kili and Fili are killed, now I feell sad. Whereas in the book, the only thing I remember about them is that they both have blond beards, silver belts, and blue hoods
-no more narrative ellipses, with Gandalf leaving halfway through the story only to return in the very last pages, Smaug being killed "off camera", or Bilbo being knocked unconscious as soon as the Battle of the Five Armies begins and waking up only after the battle has ended
-Beorn is really intimidating and I understand now why Gandalf is so cautious not to upset him. In the book, he's basically Hagrid
-the Spiders and Smaug are scary and you actually fear for Bilbo and the Dwarves. In the book, they are a joke and Bilbo makes fun of them
-beautiful photography and gorgeous soundtrack
-probably the best dragon I've seen since Disney's Dragonslayer in 1981
-perfect prologue to TLOTR

"Gandalf, what are you talking about?"
"I dont know" lold
I played this character Gollum (Smeagol)

Too much of that fine Southfarthing Leaf
@@mishopapava 0aapaaa
2:48 Gandalf saying "Oh fuck no!"
Priceless.
Whoa,Thranduil saying "Thats awesome" was a bizzare sight to behold,even from behind the scenes.
"Once I knew all the spells of Elves, Men and Orc." Now I can't even remember a simple line.
You are the best director in the world. These movies top every single one in existence. Can't wait to see the Hunt For Gollum.
Peter Jackson is a legend, a talent and a gem.
And so is the great lord 'Tolkien'
Nope he is not. HE was just lucky with Lord of the Rings and the shameful The Hobbit trilogy is here to prove it. So poorly made that even my grandma could have done a better job.
@@HextorBane in your dream stop crying 1 year old kid is salty
@@HextorBaneHe is still a legend.
Stop crying. He's a Legend@@HextorBane
The coolest party is how they made hobbits and dwarves appear shorter.
😂😂
Хх
Man all that crazy work is cool
There is no party
No , the coolest party it's when Smeagle is a character and also one of the directors
Man I wished these movies never had to end. I really enjoyed them all especially the first trilogy. 😊
I’m ready watch them on the big screen again !
The Rings of Power show makes this movie look like gold.
Absolutely! Considering the producers were A-holes in not allowing a year delay prep for PJ and his team after GDT left is criminal but the fact they manage to make the movies as good as they did with their script meddling, forcing 2 movies into 3 is a miracle...
The best parts of Rings of Power are definitely better than those Hobbit movies.
@@HarryNansenabsolutely not. 😂😂😂
@ 🐵🐵🐵
@@HarryNansen why are you calling yourself a monkey?
hahaha Lee Pace is so pumped at how cool he looks ahahhaha
from what I've seen, Lee Pace spent most of his time just being super excited about how cool everything is :P see his reaction to his throne and the five armies set
really? where?
Benedict just bumped out in the last 5 seconds, which makes me smile :))))
How cute, I love the team so much :) and the movie, too!
4:22 Richard's hairflip though.
Yes, I noticed that, too! He does like to do that! I saw on another post when he was sitting on a horse and he really flipped his hair and then the horse did the same thing. That was LOL funny!
@@lbroderick783 It may be after 5 years, but, link or it didn't happen
@@imapigeonyoupeasant1489 wait for another 5 years
@@lbroderick783 it was on one of the production diaries for the first movie
So hot 😍
Tauriel might not have that ethereal calm and wisdom of Galadriel and other Elves, but she sure is the cutest of them all.
4:21 for the manliest, most badass hairflip
Oh my gosh yaaass
3:45: That's some pretty impressive sword-work!
Not realistic tho
@@jesusshrek1271 that is realistic
Muhammed Bulgur yes he is doing it in real life
@@dLexNAontwitch i know he is doing it in real life but thats not real sword work. Those tecniques are not real they are fantasy. Just to look cool
gapjunction11 agreed
Sylvester McCoy: "Gandalf, what are you talking about?"
Ian McKellen: "I don't know."
XD
Benedict and Martin- The Hobbit
Benedict and Martin- Sherlock Holmes
Benedict and Martin- Avengers
Realization hits me:
I love The Hobbit (& LoTR)
I love Sherlock Holmes
I love Avengers
What's next?
2:50 I never thought I would hear Ian Mckellan say those words lol, bleep is just so vulgar.
3:26 when a dwarf race is taller than you.
Relatable
Totally 😄 I'm at a hieght of 5'1 and even the Hobbits are taller than me 😊
then you are a hobbit
@@karissarasmussen567 hobbits are 4ft or less
Мистер Джексон! Вы гениальный режиссер!❤️💯 Обожаю вашего Хоббита! Пересматриваю его два-три раза в год. Это потрясающе красивая сказка!❤️ Спасибо вам за такой волшебный и удивительный мир хоббитов, гномов, эльфов, троллей, гоблинов.❤️
прочитай книгу волшебное братство Саймака там вообще пушка
"Gandalf what are you talking about ?" haha haha best part
Haha Thorin at 4:22... so majestic ;) love the hobbit 2- its the greatest movie ive ever watched 3 thank you, Peter Jackson!
i really like watching the blogs, I learned more about movie production thru these videos. Thank you Sir Peter Jackson :) and keep up the great work. you and your staff/crew are amazing!
Lee Pace pulls of the role of Thranduil! I'm jealous he gets to wear the badass crown! Can't wait to see the final look of the film!!
YES! FUCKING YES!!!! Why did I just notice this now. Finally a new production diary. Thank you Peter, I know you must be busy as hell but thank you for bringing this to us. I've been a fan of the Middle-Earth canon since I was 8 (Turning 26 in a bit)
Gandalf and radagast swearing is the funniest thing I have seen
It's great to watch this vlog again after I have seen the movie. Now I can compare what's here to the scene in the movie. Thank you Peter.
Notice how their focus is how Tolkien wrote the characters.
There first frame of reference is “this is how it’s supposed to be”
I think some modern films could benefit from this approach.
This is seriously such an awesome insight into what it takes to make a movie, thanks for these production diaries!
Yes, yes, yes, the job is great. .One of the best trilogies in the world. I love this trilogy with all my heart, I watched these episodes The Hobbit, The Lord of the Ring many times, and every time I look like the first time.
I loved Lee Pace!
But i love how Tauriel acts, getting mad at Thranduil for not letting Legolas love her and saying "Cannonball!"
Evangeline Lilly is perfect perfect for the role of Tauriel,i love her.
No, she suits her role like hell. Why else do you think she got the part!
Friendship with PJ and his wife and bed with WB bosses?
Illuminati I like her bone structure
Saruman
Not to mention, she's gorgeous.
20 years on and I just watched the Hobbit trilogy extended editions again
Timeless
It's not been 20 years since they made the hobbit films. Don't do that to me again 🤣
Omg "get out of here or get in that jacuzzi" l XD I love lee
3:44 amazing sword management holy 🤯🤯
Real sword would be more difficult and heavier
3:44 Dat Aiden Turner skills! * Q * I totally love him * ~ *
Every amateur director like me can meditate by watching these production diaries :)
Benedict Cumberbatch is so awesome. Can't wait to hear that bone chilling voice of his
6:53 Haaaaaahahahaha I love her!!
Mr. Peter Jackson Lord of the Ring and Hobbit was so excited we wanted another movie about the Middle Earth.
I love the camaraderie and the playful atmosphere that we get to see in these production diaries. Making these movies entails a lot of hard work, but it sure does look like a whole lotta fun too!
All the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies were great. All you guys and gals did a great job!!
The best dragon design I’ve ever seen; It’s almost real. Really peter Jackson added a lot to the cinema.
2:54 Radagast trying to confuse an already confused Gandalf was so fun 😂🤣 "Lego, dit it with lego" 😂😂
Peter Jackson himself looks a bit like a dwarf :)
like no he looks like Jack Black...like wow
No she looks like a gigolo
He is durin
Thought that too lolz, when he was in picture I thought, he could have been one of the dwarves hahaha :D
More like a hobbit
You guys nailed it... great job. I have watched all 3 parts of this movie in 3D and I'm gonna watch it few more times
I'm gonna be so disappointed when the scene with Evangeline Lilly and Thranduil talking about the jacuzzi doesn't make it into the final movie.
Also, nice to see Benedict Cumberbatch making an appearance in this one.
Anyone else stumble onto one of these and then cancel your afternoon plans to finish it all?
I know this is 7 years plus that I hadn't seen it so... anyone still here?
I'm finding these 11 plus years later!!! There's sooo much bts content and I've 180'd on these movies (ex-hater) and am fangirling the fawk out but there's no one to talk about them to 🫠
"Dwarves will take some catching, and so do burglars! Phsew!" Martin Freeman is so badass!
It's ok Peter. A blog post is never late by your clock. It arrives precisely when you mean it too and we shall hold you to it! Awesome, awesome work!
The Hobbit is my favorite movie sad that i didnt ha e a chance to see it in the cinema i wasnt old enough but i get to watch it on google play and it was awsome thanks Peter
4:23 look at Thorin XDDDDD
Omg, more hair-flips! xD
Yes XDDD
Hi after 6 years xD
Because he's worth it!
Garnier men for .......etc etc
@@kareemodeh2550 Hi after 7 years
Amazing cant wait it. I read the hobbit and I think only Peter Jackson can make it in epic movie! Good job. Thanks for sharing this video.
thank you kind souls to whoever filmed & edited this for us
Thank you to everyone of you for hard work on this great movies.
3:10 when the weed hits
I really don't know why so many of you are hating on TROP series, I actually really enjoyed and have rewatched the first season twice but un patiently waiting for the second season to end so I can binge watch.
Im sorry for my bad English so i will say it in German just to make sure i have spelled it out.
Ich bin so begeistert von Ihren Filmen! Nun habe ich alle Hobbit Teile gesehen und ich bin einfach nur fasziniert. Wenn Tolkien noch Leben würde wäre er selbst begeistert im Kino gesessen oder sogar am Set. Die Details und die Auswahl der Landschaften sind einfach Atemberaubend, ich kann nicht mehr als zu sagen "You cheered up my Life" Ich weiß das es sehr viel Arbeit ist an einem Film zu drehen, die Arrbeit der Schauspieler und der Mitwirkenden Personen war einfach nur erstklassig. So viele Eindrücke wie in diesem Film sah ich bis jetzt kaum. Danke an dieses Diary, zwar sah ich sie mir an als der Film schon lange rausgekommen war und dennoch entlockt es mir einen Aufschrei der Begeisterung. Es ist schön zu sehen wie perfekt die Leute am Set miteinander harmonieren und wie Peter Jackson alles mit diesem unglaublichen Tagebuchbeiträgen die ganzen Erfahrungen und einfängt.
Wenn man sich die ansieht fühlt man sich fast wie im Film und man beginnt richtige Vorfreude zu entwickeln wie das Endprodukt sein wird. So viele Worte die meine Begeisterung beschreiben gibt es einfach nicht. Selbst mit diesem Text könnte ich niemals das ganze Ausmaß meiner Glückseeligkeit beschreiben oder gar in Worte verfassen. Ich lese zurzeit an einem Buch welches sich "His Majesty's Dragon" nennt. Peter Jackson meinte zu diesem Buch "Thats the Stuff i would make a Film about" Einen sicheren Zuseher hättet ihr hiermit gesichert es würde mich so sehr freuen wenn er diesem Buch genauso viel Leben und Lust einhaucht wie er es mit den Werken von John Ronald Reuel Tolkien getan hat.
Nun ist fast alles geschrieben was ich in diesem Moment fühle als ich mir dieses Diary angesehen habe. Bitte machen sie weiter so!
Verbindlichste Grüße
Speed Pirate Hiii ❤️ Ich bin auch Deutsch 😊
Besser kann man wohl nicht ausdrücken. Hast mir aus der Seele gesprochen
Greatest movies made I STILL watch them all over and over
Have you watched the lord of the rings trilogy boi
@@armoredgaming2352 LOL I said I watch ALL LOTR movies not some
1:07 Bilbo, Kili, and Balin are having a great time, not sure why Fili is so unhappy.
Thank for making THE HOBBIT we all enjoy and inspired your movie.
2:08 That dude is the guard of the fire tower in Lord of the rings when Pippin starts the fire to ask for help for Gondor. Damn I have good eyes Lol
You have amazing memory😂😂😂
Wow
the hobbit series is really an iconic movie for all age.
All the characters are so perfectly matches to their roles.
MY corona vacation goes well with hobbit movie.
When u saw a comment 6 years ago. "I don't want to comment"
Sees a comment 'one day ago'
Starts to put in a comment...
BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME.
Hey Peter Jackson, glad your talking about Hobbit. 😑😂😂😂
Awesome video blog. I also may or may not have gotten really excited when Benedict Cumberbatch was on screen for one second.
I can't wait for this movie it's gonna be awesome Peter Jackson you are brilliant
Rlly gotta respect the hard work of Andy Serkis from his humble beginnings of originally being set just to voice gollum
Can't wait for the last part.
This is really one of the best best movie, really really appreciate their work.
Oh my God, that line at the end brought forth many fangirl screams from me, my fellow Sherlockians and members of the Cumber Collective. SINCE HE'S OBVIOUSLY TALKING TO SMAUG!!!!
To Work on such a Project must feel great. To wake up in the Morning and knowing that you keep on working on such a Big Thing with all those interesting People and so on.
I LOVE YOU THE TEAM OF HOBBIT AND LORD OF THE RINGS
“Get outta here or get in that jacuzzi!”
“Cannonball!” 😂
That's so funny, the first outtakes. The funny thing is: Gandalf is the only charcter that can talk nonsense, and nobody would recognize it.
Being the guy on the passenger's seat, not talking through the walkie talkie and yet seeing your name on the end credits.
Genius
Tauriel: Shall I take my leave of you now?
Thranduil: Get out of here.
Tauriel: Or should we get in the Jacuzzi?
Thranduil: Get out of here or get in that Jacuzzi.
Tauriel: Cannonball!
I love it!
incredible just incredible amazing cinematography special effects just amazing🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎥

Great diary Peter! Thanks for sharing the fun. Really looking forward to seeing the movie.
"You see him in the middle of the room..." "And I kick him in the bum!" AHAHAHAHAH Lee Pace screaming "THAT'S AWESOME!!!!!!" Is amazing!!!!!!!
Lol Tauriel flipping off Thranduil is hillarious
I came for the Hobbit and stayed for Lee Pace
Мистер Джэксон, вы гений. Никто лучше вас не снял бы обе истории Средиземья. Назначить вас режиссёром Хоббита - единственно верное решение.👍
7:50 Doctor Strange :D

Sherlock!
Sherlock or Dr. Strange
Or Smaug voice🤣
Smaug!
Thank you for the best ever films!
hearing Gandalf swear just made my life
I LOVE watching these videos! Thanks so much Peter for sharing! This makes me appreciate much more the hard work involved in creating these masterpieces! Can't wait to see more!
