501 Buckland Road, Matamata 3472, New Zealand
To be exact.
I'm afraid you wouldn't 'fit in there' you're too tall and your feet aren't hairy enough.
@@blacktronlego probably. Hobbits are not very fond with Strangers.
@@blacktronlego how do we know her feet aren't hairy? 😜
@@redcardinalist man of culture I see
Been there nice place to live. As long as you don’t mind living on a fault line
When the ring slides onto Frodo’s finger at The Prancing Pony it looks unbelievable because it wasn’t a natural fall. The ring has a will of its own. It _wants_ to be found, so it controlled its descent onto Frodo’s finger so the ringwraiths would be drawn to it.
Funny fact ! ... When Gandalf hit his head on the beam in Bilbo house, it wasnt suppose to happen, but Peter Jackson loved it so much that he keep it In the film 😂👌
Ha! Like the Stormtrooper who bonked his head on that door that didn't seem to open up all the way.
Or like in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory when the Candyman accidently smacked a little girl's head with the counter divider during his song XD
Also, Aragorn was supposed to dodge the knife the orc threw at him, but between the sweat and prosthetics slipping, the actor accidentally threw it straight at Viggo Mortensen's face instead of over him, and all Mortensen could think to do was swing the sword into it's path and knock it aside. It was pure luck that it worked, and even greater luck that it was caught on camera and NOTHING ELSE HAD GONE WRONG. As the coolest take, Jackson put it straight into the movie.
"You don't deserve those wing eyebrows!" An insult I should really use more often....
"Potatoes"
She's embracing memes without even knowing about them
Love it
POTatoes
Po ta toes boil em mash em stick em in a stew!
whats tatoes precious?
"Where is this place?" The Shire and a lot of other locations were filmed in New Zealand. :)
And the Shire is still there! 😁
@@JedHead77 But it is based upon early18th to early 20th century rural England. Which is wrong because New Zealand is more like 1980s rural England.
Paul Rice What does that have to do with her wanting to know where this was filmed?
@@JedHead77 She said she wanted to live with the Hobbits.
@@paulrice8358 And which place in England looks like the Shire?
I really appreciate how you pay close attention to the little details, like noticing immediately that Elrond was present at the original battle against Sauron. Also, your voice is very pleasant to my ears.
The Ring influences those who hold it to value it (hence "my precious"), and is strongest at the place of its forging. Isildur COULD NOT have destroyed it there, no matter how much he might have known he should. It wasn't a matter of his weakness; the Ring contains Sauron's overwhelming desire to dominate others, and Sauron is effectively a fallen archangel or perhaps an evil demigod.
The more powerful the person or ambitious/desire the more easily the ring will corrupt your mind. This is why Gandalf can't take it, he knows he'll try to do good, but will lose sight of what is right and fair.
It is also why Hobbits seem to be better able to resist it since they are content with what they have. They don't have any big ambitious desires beyond perhaps introducing a third breakfast, enjoying the finest ale and having a merry party.
This doesn't really give the Ring much to work with neither would it get it out of the Shire, since Hobbits rarely travel.
Something you must realize about the one ring is that it is alive. Sauron basically put a big chunk of his own soul into it and it can influence people and even choose to do some things, like falling off Isildur's finger or landing perfectly onto Frodo's finger. It even at time tries to force its own will on Frodo and make him put it on.
3:38 - that cute little girl is Katie Jackson, the daughter of director Peter Jackson and screen writer Fran Walsh. (And the boy sitting next to her is her brother Billy.)
...and Peter Jackson himself was munching on a carrot in Bree.
I only ever noticed that these kids were in all 3 movies its good to know why that is :D
These "monsters" (orcs) once were elves, but they were corrupted by the first dark lord and turned into their own evil species.
Corrupted might sound as if they willingly choose to become evil, but they were actually taken, tortured and then turned evil. Edit: And thats sad.
No way. What about the ones incubated in Isengard?
Leo M
They are the byproduct of Saruman of breading men and female orcs or vise versa. And yes there are female orcs. Tolkien himself confirmed this in a response to a letter from a fan.
morgoth made them into orcs
what does your picture mean? the horizontal bars
"My butt was so sore and filled with insects, but it was fun"
Wait... what?
I’m looking for an answer too what the actual fuck does that mean
@@jennafreer9337 lol i think she was running through a cornfield & fell, getting covered in insects, not "filled with"
@@kintozero3169 or she was doing other stuff and the insects went in at some point to join in the fun
@@Cydonius1 Luckiest insects of all time. But it wouldn't fly in society. Too insectsuous.
@@thesurvivorofhathsin8486 NO MICHAEL NO NO NOOOOO!!
Don't tell my dad I laughed. He might think I've inherited his "dad 'humour'".
The books say humans were blessed with mortality.
Humans were blessed because when they die they go to heaven, if elves died they just died there was no after for them xD
@@steveomcgolpin4058 is it not more like that the elves goes to a "waiting room" until the last war of the gods. While humans get the choice to go straight to "heaven" or go to the same place as the elves?
@@steveomcgolpin4058
Not true. After dying the Elves went to the Halls of Mandos in Valinor for rest and recuperation. Eventually some left that place too.
Humans left somewhere but only Eru knew. Presumably heaven as you said.
I thought tolkien said,the gift of man is free will with the life they have before death,and then they can go through the doors beyond arda unlike any other race? Which is sort of like the elven undying lands and in the same sense the humans will also become immortal once they reach there? Not heaven ofc but something in comparrisson
Elves are tied to middle earth so they will forever of all there lives roam it but they have the undying lands where they can have only for themselves
"You don't deserve those winged eyebrows! Cut them!" Love that reaction to Saruman's treachery and the rest of this video also! Also love how engaged in the stories you are in all your reaction videos!
He is unworthy of the power of the Wing.
Regarding the "logic" of keeping the One Ring for himself: how many times in our History Mankind could just get rid of "evils", like polution, animal abuse, slavery... but with each one of these horrible things came also POWER.
The Ring was always an analogy for power, and the point is that no one could throw it into the fire (give up the power they have) willingly
@@emPtysp4ce Indeed
@@emPtysp4ce I would also add that, in addition to power, the ring could work as an analogy for substance abuse. But then again, power in itself can function much like a drug.
@@JP-1990 I have a friend who suffered from years of addition to heroin that after reading these books when he was locked in rehab he most identified with Gollum. He said that heroin was his "precious" and letting go was next to impossible. He is clean now for 19 years and still struggles but he has good friends and family now to help. The books like all good books touch each of us, and enlighten each of us in our own ways.
@@VadulTharys it's amazing how even after 19 Years he still struggles. It's not unlike Deodorant at the end in some ways. I hope your friend makes it in the end.
I died laughing at 8:03 “my butt was so sore and full of insects, but it was fun!” Hahaha so funny loved it.
The ring flying into the air and landing perfectly on Frodo's finger is one of many little details showing the ring to have like a mind of it's own. In another scene it changes its size to better fit the person who picked it up
In the beginning of Numenor, which was the most noble, and most beautiful of all the human civilizations (before it was corrupted by Sauron) used to live for hundreds and hundreds of years, but their quest for immortality had the opposite effect, making them live shorter and shorter lives.
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all,
One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all,
And in the darkness bind them,
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

SPEAK THAT IN THE BLACK SPEACH
@@cheeseburger12 or Hobbit Nazgûl
All of you need to hear Christopher Lee reading this poem if you haven't already.
I love that you're doing this incredible trilogy!!!
Now for some quick comments to assist you on this journey ;) So Hobbits live to be about 100 years or so and Bilbo went way past that due to the ring prolonging his life. It's also how the creature Gollum was able to stay alive for 500 years...because of the One Ring.
Another thing to keep in mind is the power of the One Ring. Sauron's life force is tied to the One Ring and the ring is filled with malice, hate and evil. Isildur did not destroy the ring when given the chance because the ring had already ensnared him by taking advantage of Isildur's desire for power. The ring, in a way, compelled him to keep it. Like was mentioned in the opening prologue, the ring has a will of its own and does not want to be destroyed and will do what it can to corrupt those who have the ring so they never destroy it. Gandalf, being such a powerful wizard (or Maiar according to The Silmarillion book), is afraid that even holding the ring for a little bit might begin to corrupt him and have him wield his power for terrible deeds rather than good. It's why he refuses the ring from Frodo. Hobbits, naturally don't care for power or money. As a species they are quite content living a simple life. The ring can definitely corrupt Hobbits too but it will take longer for the ring to be able to corrupt them. They won't fall easily as a human would.
What’s interesting is that it’s heavily implied than many of the qualities that make the more formidable heroes of Lord of the Rings such noble and ‘epic’ figures are the exact same qualities that make them vulnerable to the ring. Equally noteworthy is that the person in the books who seems to show the greatest resistance to its power is Sam, who is the most humble and least ambitious or ‘formidable’ of them all.
Not or, Gandalf is a Maiar. Hobbits are quite uncomplicated, that's why the One Ring struggles to corrupt them.
Sidebar: I love that the chosen one in this story isn’t chosen because of “the force” “secret parents” or “the prophecy”. It’s because he’s literally so powerless nothing will take him seriously. 😂 it cracks me up every time!
The fact that your FIRST comment was asking if Orcs were always Orc literally made my jaw drop. The attention to detail and the questions right off the bat are making me look forward to the rest of the video for SURE.
Most hobbits don't live as long as Bilbo. The ring extended his life. At 111 years old, Bilbo was among the oldest hobbits to ever live.
Yes, and that's why he looks so much older at Rivendell; without the ring, time is catching up with him.
They do live longer that normal humans though. Their age of maturity is 33.
The Old Took made it to 130 or 131 I think so Bilbo had it in his blood.
@@cpmf2112 It's more than just blood. The ring got Golum to 500 or so.
@@Mitheledh sure, but for Bilbo it didn't seem to extend so much as defer his old age. There is also an inconsistency there even in the book. Think about it, Bilbo didn't have the ring for 17 years and aged tremendously during that time. Gollum lost it for much longer but didn't really age and was quite capable of fighting until the end, unlike Bilbo walking gingerly to the ship.
Sauron and the ring are one. The ring has a will of its own, It wants to be found. That's why peculiar things like frodo falling on his back and the ring falling on his finger make sense. The Ring wants to be found!
The ring is incredibly hard to destroy or part with because it's filled with the spirit of Sauron. This gives the ring a very strong will to survive and corrupt...which influences all who carry it. The longer you posses the ring, the more it corrupts you and the harder it is let it go. Humans are especially susceptible to this power, while creatures like Hobbits (who only tend to value food, drink, farming and family) are able to resist it.
Well, resist it longer.
@@cheeseburger12 GOLLUM WAS THE RESULT OF RESISTING HARDER
@@tonyyul703 which still worked out better then being a nazgaul
The scenes in Bag End were filmed on two sets; one hobbit scale, one normal human size. These were then composited together resulting in the two characters in the same shot. The scenes at the table & in the cart were done by placing the actors playing the hobbits further away from the camera than Gandalf...a very simple effect known as forced perspective.
"He's pole dancing, I don't like it" has now ruined that scene forever 🤣
15:27 you have to understand the ring as "a lot of power", and power corrupts easily the race of men. Hobbits are more resistant but also vulnerable. Gandalf is a very powerful wizard, and the ring could corrupt him and turn him into a dangerous man, thats why he doesn't want to touch the ring at the beggining. Welcome to Middle Earth and sorry for my bad english!
thats not that right. The ring makes you power even more powerfull. The hobbits have the least magic in there body, they are quit,not full, invisible, ore silence when they walk (master thife bilbo baggins) thats why bilbo and frodo can cloack with the ring, and because of there "litte" magic they can longer resist. A powerfull Maia like Gandalf, would coruptet in days ore hours (sry for my bad english)
@@Hirnknaker What about humans ?? They don't have any magical powers in them
Hobbits are resistant to the ring not because of that, but because they don't give a fuck about being powerfull
@@ChatTimideOfficiel Hobbits are basically a subspecies of men :)
@@joramsim And ? It does'nt change what I said about being resistant or not xD Hirnknaker was saying that it's because of MAGICAL powers that can makes a magician like Gandalf being corrupt by the ring, but humans does not have magic in them and they are less resistant than a hobbit which have a little magic in them.. I don't know if it's clear but to me, magic have nothing to do with the corruption by the ring
"Your butt was so sore it was filled with insects?"
🤣😆😄😀
But it was fun.
I love imagining Gandalf hearing the story of Isaldur's refusal to destroy the ring from Elrond and wanting to say, "Yes, you've told me this story THOUSANDS of times by now."
My god, she has the beauty of an elf
Agreed my fellow simp
If she’s Mediterranean, it’s more like a Gondorian woman
"That kid looking like she was gonna have a stroke." Believe it or not, that is actually a cameo by director Peter Jackson's daughter, Katie!
Are you watching the Extended Edition? That's the best version of this trilogy to watch. As an example, the Extended Edition actually SHOWS Isildur dying. He puts the Ring on to turn invisible, but when he dives into the water, the Ring betrays him and slips off his finger, revealing him to the Orcs on the shore, who shoot him and kill him.
I actually prefer the Theatrical Editions. It was fun to watch the Extended Editions for the extra scenes, but now whenever I rewatch LOTR I watch the Theatrical Editions. In my opinion, most of the added scenes, including the one you mention, aren't that important and they interrupt the flow of things. Also, the writing and acting in a lot of the added scenes is jarringly inferior. Other added scenes are too rushed and they feel like they've been crammed in. The Theatrical Editions are also extremely long already, and the even longer Extended Editions can be a bit of a drag, especially ROTK. They do have their merits, and they're fun to return to from time to time, but overall I just prefer how the Theatrical Editions pan out.
@@capnhawkins I disagree just because the theatrical versions cut out so much of Faramir's story and development, and he's one of my favourite characters
@@capnhawkins Exactly! i agree 100% with this. i rly hate when people recommend the extended edition to who never watched the movie before. the theatrical version is by far the best to see for the first time, and then you watch the extended to get all the details and stuff... like a fan service
@@bsmith3506 but their take on Faramir is pretty off in comparison to the books. Faramir is pretty immune to the ring in the books.
@@capnhawkins Saruman's ending. Boromir flashbacks. Isildur's death. Come on. I would prefer watching the correct editions at x1.25 speed than watch the shortened ones.
Lol 7:34 "you don't deserve those wing eyebrows. Cut them."
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😄 "He's pole dancing. But I don't like it." 7:44
I love a person who has a good memory throughout a long movie. Subscribed! 👍
Don't know if you recognized him under the wig and the wing eyebrows, but Saruman is Christopher Lee aka Count Dooku.
•500 years old is an unnatural lifespan for Hobbits and you see that Gollum lives for so long because of the Ring's corrupting power. Most races are mortal, but the Dwarves can live for 100-200 years. The Elves are immortal and there is a group of Men called the Dunedain who are blessed with longevity.
•Hobbits live in the Shire. The Shire is a region, with Hobbiton being a town within it. Hobbits on average are 3ft 6inches, so keep that in mind before you buy a Hobbit hole.
•Sauron's body was destroyed, but his spirit lives on because the Ring survived.
•It's a tower.
•Saruman fell to the Dark Side. Why is a mystery, but he will be the main villain for the first two films.
•Hobbits eat 7 meals a day; Breakfast at 7:00, Second Breakfast at 9:00, Elevensies at 11:00, Luncheon at 1:00, Teatime at 3:00, Dinner at 6:00, and Supper at 9:00.
•The Orcs bred by Saruman are the Uruk-hai and they are a force to be reckoned with.
Also there are no Dwarf women. Dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground.
@@matthewc.1194 There are Dwarf women; they just often get mistaken for Dwarf men because of their beards. Thorin Oakenshield had a sister; the mother of Kili and Fili.
@@joshuawells835 lol I know. Just referencing the theories Gimli shares in Two Towers. Although, come to think of it, I can't remember seeing a single female Dwarf in LOTRs or Hobbit. But I also didn't see them popping out of the ground either. 🤔
@@matthewc.1194 There aren't any in LOTR, but if you pay attention in the flashback of An Unexpected Journey, there are Dwarf women fleeing Erebor.
You ignored the midnight snack.... Well, it is optional, so i can forgive that ;)
Yes! I grew up on this epic trilogy. You're going to love it! Enjoy the journey
" what is taller, a midget or a hobbit ?" I'm in stitches lol
The little hobbit girl at 3:37 who shivered while Bilbo was telling his story is one of director Peter Jackson's two kids. They make cameos in all three movies :)
8:58 "Everything is bigger than you! Feel my pain!" -I think we can both relate to that, then. Being a petite woman has its downsides!
Going to enjoy watching your reaction to the whole trilogy! These are some of my favorite movies and books ever!
Hey! I just found your video and channel and I just subscribed! I love the Lord of the Rings and am very excited to follow your reactions. Your reaction was awesome. I really liked how much you loved the hobbits and their village. Also, I really liked the part where you immediately started clapping after the defeat of Sauron. You're awesome.
Oh my god! Yes! This is going to be so good! I love the Lord of the Rings and I love your reactions! Hooray!
Yay, thank you!
I have lost the count of TLOTR movie reactions I have seen so far. I just love to see people appreciating what I consider the best trilogy ever created.
Fun fact: Between Bilbos Birthday Party and the time Frodo leaving the Shire with Sam pass 18 Years
You're quick wit just floors me. Never laughed so hard. Love your reactions! New fan!
In Tolkien's world, mortality is the "gift of men" because they get to leave this mortal coil and spend eternity with Illuvitar, The One. Elves live in an eternal sameness, as beautiful as it is.
Wow you've made so many interesting reaction videos, this is going to take ages to go through but I'm gonna start with this one and work my way through them :) Thank you for all your work and for sharing it with us!
I really like the way Forces of Evil were shown in these movies. Saruman portrayed by Christopher Lee is one of the best villains in classic fantasy.
Love your accent. Yes, regular humans, like in our world, lived mainly 70 - 80 years. Dunedain, such as Aragorn, had lifespans three times longer, so might live almost as long as a Dwarf. Dwarves lived about 250 years. They apparently had prolonged adolescence. Gimli said that he was thought too young to join Thorin's company (in the Hobbit), but at 62 felt he was ready to conquer the world. Hobbits were apt to live to about 100. Elves had essentially eternal youth. Orcs usually died young due to their culture, but having elven ancestry they might have the same potential lifespan.
"You don't deserve those wing eyebrows! Cut them!"
Oh wow, I love your reactions. Genuinely, I've seen a LOT of lotr reactions, and you point out so many small things not even I had noticed. The scarecrow, that doesn't scare away the birds at all... It's very sweet and I like watching :)
Maybe it's been said before but Saruman and Count Dooku from Star Wars are both played by the legendary Sir Christopher Lee... also played Francisco Scaramanga in The Man With The Golden Gun (a Bond film). Three of my all-time fave movie villains all played by the same legend!
Also I don't know if anyone explained yet, that the moth is a messenger between Gandalf and the eagles. So from here on forward, if you ever see Gandalf pause to look at a moth, you know an eagle is nearby
The way you say potatoes is insanely cute
First time here and wow your voice ....your accent is just beautiful and you are stunning keep up the good work and you got a new subscriber
The theory on the orcs is that they were elves that the first dark lord, morgoth (who sauron served), captured, tortured, and corrupted. Morgoth was a higher angelic being and the strongest one, and he wanted to be able to create life. But since he didn't have that power to create life, he instead corrupted beings. In the end though, he really just wanted to destroy the whole world, while sauron wanted to rule the world.
When Boromir died, it was saddest scene in whole movie.
I'm so happy for people to experience this movie for the first time. Your reactions are gonna be great
You have amazing attention to detail, and you let yourself be swept up by the story! I love it! Also you're really good at names.
Anyone else thst just can't focus on what happens in the movie? This girl has such a giggly, innocent and open personality (well and is a gorgeous beauty, obviously) that I just can't get myself to look at anything else on the screen than her!
You're really great and sweet, keep it up please!
This is so adorable. But you know, Duaffy, what you say shows that you have a really good grasp of what is happening and your reasoning within the film is remarkable. Not bad for someone who could step into the film and look right at home herself.
To answer your question about Hobbit heights, the average Hobbit is 3'6 (107 cm), so they are very very small. That's actually the origin of one of their names "Halflings" since they're often less than half the height of humans.
I rarely comment on videos, but you are awesome! I love you' re honest reaction and human responses! ;)
Thank you so much for such nice comment! Knowing you don't usually write makes me feel honored :)
Hi! New subscriber here (from the Philippines)! Your reactions were awesome and cute! L.O.T.R. is my all-time favorite (both books and movies)! Can't wait for the rest of your reactions! Looking forward to seeing your channel grow! More power and God bless!
P.S.: You could be an awesome She-Elf in Middle-Earth!
Well,prepare your heart,this trilogy is pure emotion
Little known bit. Of all the actors in the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit Trilogies, Christopher Lee was the only one who actually met JRR Tolkien.
You have to understand that the ring had a will of its own, and could trick and corrupt almost anyone who held it. Even those who were just near it would hear its call.
It worked by turning even the good intentions of those who held it against them. That's why Gandalf refused to take it, because he would want to use its power for good, but knew it would twist his intentions to evil without him even realising.
I love Duaffys firm demsnds….
”Give the ring……here!” 😎👍🏼
I love your reactions and this one is awesome!!! LORD is my favorite saga
Orcs were once elves. Corrupted by Sauron to darkness. And the Uruk-hai, the ones bred by Saruman, were created by splicing orcs with men.
1:55 Humans are indeed the shortest lived race in this universe. But the Ring significantly extends the lifespan of whoever possesses it, that’s why Gollum lived 500 years.
2:09 This was filmed in New Zealand. They left the Shire sets up, the whole town is still there and is now a tourist attraction.
9:08 About the same, actually. Little people in real life tend to be 2.5 to 4 feet, same as Hobbits.
Yeah, in the Prancing Pony, when the ring slithers on to Frodo's finger, it was a bit of a groaner the first time I saw it. The explanation, which I've chosen to embrace, is the ring wanted to be on his finger in keeping with its will to be found as previously stated in the movie. Best. Leo.
The ring did that on more than one occasion: slipped off of Isildur's finger; off of Gollum's finger; it slipped on to Bilbo's finger when he was first fleeing Gollum. In many ways, the ring is an actual "character" with certain very limited abilities.
in the book he had his hand in his pocket and was fiddleing with the ring, and it slipped on as he fell, kinda hard to show on film, but Peter Jacksons interpretation was a bit over dramatic.
Edit: I'm also pretty sure the ring wanted to out him, and made sure it slipped on his finger, as there were spies in the inn.
I read the books, long before Jackson ever made these movies, and agree that this choice was kinda hoaky, but... how do you show that a ring is capable of slipping off or on a finger? Jackson even went so far as to let you hear the ring whispering to others, which Tolkien never actually did. But Tolkien did assert that the ring was a "character" with a will of its own, so... it works. Hoaky or otherwise. :)
Wow I love how you react to things, it feels very refreshing and fun. Definitely one of the better reactors :)
1:06 - They were orcs. From the books: they originated long before the events of the lord of the rings from elves who've been captured and corrupted.
1:54 - From the books again: The first humans had a very long life. Centuries after centuries humans' lifespan has got shorter and shorter, but I think it's still longer than real-life humans.
5:18 - Sauron didn't die. He transferred part of his power into the ring, so that unless the ring is destroyed, he can't never die (but he was defeated and took him many years to return, though not physically). How he communicates with his subordinates is never explained.
6:52 - In the theatre version of the movie, here you could see a car driving on the background (they removed it in the DVD version).
"My precious" That is what I say whenever I see Tifa.
1:56 numenoreans are like “she is one of us” .
Great reaction thank you for the video.
7:44 "He's pole dancing."
I died. lol
"NO THAT'S EVEN WORSER" -best reaction.
2:15 - "So beautiful! I want to live with the hobbits!" Most of the locations throughout the films are in New Zealand. And you can actually visit "Hobbiton". The original set has been preserved and turned into a tourist site. It looks like it would be an amazing place to visit! www.hobbitontours.com/
😍😍😍 love your reactions!!!!
You have the best personality ive ever seen, you just became one of my favorite persons in the world. Subscribing now.
when Gandalf bumped his head on Bilbo's rafter, that wasn't scripted. Ian McKellen really did it and Peter left it in!
I'm 10 minutes in and I'm charmed! "whats bigger a midget or a hobbit?" NEVER EVER CHANGE!
Oh and you saw the director in this section of the movie, can you guess where?
Orcs were once Elves, twisted & ruined by the dark powers. Hope you are viewing the extended editions, as they give more character & quieter moments. Please try the Dark Crystal at some point. Hope you enjoy your journey into Middle Earth, I've loved the books & the films for years and they inspired me to travel to New Zealand a year after Return of the King came out
The Ring Wraiths are drawn to tomatoes and nice, crispy bacon.
I love Christopher Lee for being a great actor for Saroman and Count Dooku
Hi, stumbled over your review of The Fellowship of the Rings, and subscribed! I'm looking forward to sharing your journey through the next two of the trilogy.
I completely share your joy in the beauty of Middle Earth and your whole hearted reaction and embracing the world and it's characters. Your use of the word "holy" to describe Rivendell is perfect!
I would profoundly urge you to watch and review these in the Extended Editions; there is so much more to the stories included there, it makes a profound difference, particularly by the third movie!
I'm looking forward to your ongoing reviews, perched on the edge of my seat!
Thank you so much!
P.S.
Please do review the third Star Wars Trilogy, 7, 8, and 9.
You should form your own opinion of the movies.
While we anxiously wait for the lovely Duaffy to give more insightful and charming reactions. I'll re-watch some of her previous reactions to help her algorithm. Besides, it's a pleasure!
Saruman is Count Dooku and the actor (Christopher Lee) is the only one who did know Tolkien.
There were a lot of moments here that made me smile, and laugh. You have made my day a lot better, thank you!
Ohh really!? I am so happy to hear that! Hope whatever troubled you has been solved ♥
Humans, particularly Numenoreans, who were faithful to the Valar were blessed with long life. However, they became corrupted and lived shorter and shorter lifespans. Finally, they desired immortality and launched an attempted invasion of the Undying Lands and the Valar destroyed their kingdom island, Numenor, and only a handful of those faithful to the Valar survived. Aragorn is a descendant of Elendil, one of these faithful. Elendil is the one that cut Sauron's finger bearing the ring.
Sean Astin, who played Sam Gamgee, is the son of John Astin, who will forever be known as Gomez Addams.
You: "..and what about that girl?"
me: "She'll like him a lot better once he's a hero. That's how girls work."
I'm so glad you're reacting to this series....you're in for a wild ride
9:14 Don't forget that the ring as a mind of its own. It can make itself bigger, smaller, lighter or heavier at will and it wants to be find by Sauron
it was the One Ring that gave Smeagle unnatural long life: 500 years; and Bilbo to 111 until he gave up the ring to Frodo.
The three elven rings are special because they're not tainted by Sauron but they're still connected to Sauron. An elven smith forged the three rings instead of Sauron and the power of the those rings are the preservation of what you cherish most, a stillness against time as well as other attributes. The elves love their forest and magic, both of which are fading in Middle Earth so they use the elven rings of power to preserve what they have. This is why their lands are kept beautiful but if Frodo succeeds in destroying the one ring it will destroy the power of the elven rings and what the elves love will fade.
Celebrimbor did not forge the Three instead of Sauron. He did it without his knowledge, just on his own. They are connected to Sauron through the One.
@@bartoszrebelski8571 Yes that's what I said.
Yes, the Shire is pretty sizable, especially compared to Hobbits. The main Hobbits live in Hobbiton, but of course there are many farms and such outside (within the boundaries of the Shire).
If I like to move my Fantti, you are, first..... 🥰 Love your clips.... Happy holidays and so oon, take care again. 🥰
Best of any first time reactor at remembering the names and figuring out all the various beings and what is going on!
My biggest gripe about people watching this movie is that they assume the ring to just be a normal ring, despite the introduction and numerous hints that it has a will of it’s own. Really tests my patience, and I’m always sitting there like, “Pay attention!” until they finally get it. Unfortunately, some never get it, and it disappoints me greatly. This also includes many other things not explicitly said, but hinted at that others never seem to pick up on. Like the more powerful and ambitious someone is, the worse ring bearer they would be, and there things. Ugh. Rant over.
Someone has probably already said but, when Gandalf hits his head in the hobbit hole, it was an accident and he just kept acting
