Much love
Rob and Trin
Im late to this party, & as prob has been said 300 times, but with bree “looking like a set”, thats the magic of peter jackson, he used sets, ministures & “bigstures” as often & whenever possible...so much love was put into these movies...yeah, he used real stuff, non-cgi at every opportunity l i think the movie-biz term is “practical effects”....loving this reaction, i hope i dont comment 90 thousand times🙄
You should look into the EXTRAS ... because 99% of this is NOT GREEN-SCREEN / CGI, which is the reason why these movies look great. They have REAL ARMOR ... as compared to Amazon's "shirt with chainmail print" production.
@@Muck006 yeeeessssssssss, many thumbs to,this comment👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The Hobbit Village is in New Zealand and still running as a tourist spot.
6:20 I have watch this reaction several times and have not paid attention to Trin saying flute is an instrument she loves, as I do cause was the first I learn to play, well the recorder, but still, and was thinking you might like to listen to the music of modern composer Zbigniew Preisner most well known for his soundtrack score for "The Secret Garden" movie, but he actually is a flutist and a recorderist and he has many lovely pieces for that instruments. His albums Requiem and Les Marionettes are sublime and dreamy
Best movie trilogy ever! Better late than never
@@mikelarsen5836 bruh. What kind of stupid comment is this? Are people only allowed to watch the movies if they read the books? What kind of shit mentality is that?
It’s a great trilogy but rise, dawn and war of the planet of the apes is the best trilogy.
@@Superman68541 great shout tbh. Watched all 3 in like 2 days a few months back. Don't know what took me that long 🙂
@@Superman68541 me when im drunk and i lie
@@Superman68541
Based on what metrics? 😂
No Rob, they actually built The Shire. It still stands in New Zealand.
The actors who played Merry and Pippin have a great podcast called the Friendship Onion. They’ve stayed good friends since the movies.
A wonderful bond endures among the cast, and they’ve got the tattoos to prove it. 😉
@@0okamino sadly they just announced they are suspending the podcast for now. Just saw the post yesterday.
Judging by your reaction to this first film, I think you would enjoy "the making of LOTR". You will end up with a deeper appreciation for all the work and details that went in to this trilogy. It explains how Peter Jackson used a forced perspective technique to make our hobbit characters appear smaller and SO MUCH MORE. Excited to go on this journey with you.
Yes he would indeed! LOTR reactions are booming now as we speak and Moviejoob and OmarioRPG have already dived into the lore videos. Many have even gotten the books including the Silmarillion and his many other books outside of the main trilogy books. Children Of Hùrin, Book Of Lost Tales, Unfinished Tales, Red Book Of Westmarch, Of Beren and Lùthien, Morgoth’s Ring, Laws And Customs Of The Eldar, Fall Of Númenor, Fall Of Gondolin, Lay Of Leithien! ❤
Ty E best appendixes of any movie!! it's unbelievable a gift to the world these movies are
The whole trilogy has my favorite music score of all time. I watched it in concert a few years ago and I couldn't stop crying. It was the greatest thing I've ever heard.
A lot of these sets were practical, that’s why everything looks so grounded. You can still visit Hobbiton in New Zealand!
Sir Christopher Lee not only portrayed Saruman in this movie, he actually met J.R.R. Tolkien (the author) as well.
And Tolkien said if there was to be a live adaptation, he'd want him to play Saruman & or Gandalf! He firstly wanted Gandalf though.
@@Makkaru112 He was really just born to play the Fallen good guy though, wasn't he? Lol
Can’t say I expected this but I can say I’m pleasantly surprised
8:08 Gandolf showing his strength for a brief second, then going back to "I'm trying to help you."
The Lord of the Rings trilogy is Peter Jackson's finest work. I'll never forget seeing all three movies as they were released. The books mesmerized me as I read them several times. When the story came to the big screen I couldn't wait to see all the characters brought to cinematic life. The scenery and soundtrack were so impressive. Just seeing how the two of you react tells me there won't be any regrets covering this magical quest. One day I will dig out my DVDs and indulge myself in this tale. again.
Have you read The Silmarillion yet? Perhaps even Children Of Hùrin done by Christopher Lee Audiobook style. He read it aloud and it sounded like Saruman was reciting the great tales of old to us through those videos. ❤❤❤❤
A note about the "wizards" : They are NOT "old men spellcasters", In Middle-Earth mythos The "wizards" are ACTUALLY angelic spirits called Maiar, sent by the Gods (Valar) to help Men resist Sauron (also a Maia, in service to Melkor/morgoth) the Balrog is a Maia spirit as well
All the scenes in The shire are real not Green screen, They had a small set made for Gandalf to look huge, IN an interview it was revealed when Gandalf banged his head on the frame wasnt scripted. he was meant to duck down under and struggle to pass through but infact had to take the afternoon off from filming as he gave himself a partial concussion.
For side info the journey from The Shire to Rivendale works out about is 145-150 miles
yep! but not Peter Jackson using his concussion for footage 😂😂😂
This movie trilogy was truly a labor of love. From the writers and director to the actors, all involved tried their best to make the best films possible.
Even though Gandalf is "the wizard" the elves, hobbits and dwarves all have a certain aspect of magic.
oh my goooosh, no way! i'm so jealous that you get to experience these movies for the very first time! they were such an important part of my early teenage life, back in the '00s. what a journey this will be! 🥰
Imagine waiting a whole year in between films. Hands down best movies ever
Not sure if this has already been stated, but a lot of the effects are practical. The difference is size was forced perspective and size doubles. Amazing movies.
These movies shaped most of my personality as a result of them taking up a majority of my childhood
I must say you both are two of the smartest reactors I've seen till now. You catch every hint and you have an excellent sense for cinematographic narrative and esthetic, congratulations.
Thank you! 😊really appreciate it ❤
@@robtrinreact2825new subscriber here, yes I love that you pay attention and don't talk over important parts!
6:21
Trin: "It's like a story I want to hear forever!"
(half second later)
Frodo: "Oh no you don't!"
😂 the timing of Frodo's line
I’m so glad that you’re enjoying the word building and the craftsmanship of this movie! Many reactors only focus on the plot (which is valid) without taking the whole movie in because it’s so beautiful
Let’s face it, with all the different aspects to take in, a single viewing cannot really suffice.
@@0okamino Completely agree, there’s so much to absorb in these movies. It’s be really hard in one sitting
These movies were masterpieces. The practical and special effects were revolutionary for their time and still hold up pretty well 20 years later.
You guys are reacting to my favorite show and my favorite movies of all time?! I'm so excited
Happy new year Rob & Trin. And welcome to Middle-Earth.😉
Happy new year youtpfpm, we hope you are doing well! ❤
More movies on the channel for 2023 :)
holy F your reactions are so seamless with each other and the movie. y'all really seem like you care to watch this movie and respecting that this is the favorite thing in the world to so many of us! subscribed!
what timing, just finished watching this movie, and the second one, and half way through the third now (we watch the extended edition) over the last few days. You're in for an amazing ride. Holds a special place in my heart as it was filmed in New Zealand, my homeland. I've even been to Hobbiton! Enjoy the movies!
That's awesome! ❤❤
Absolutely! New Zealand can be proud of this accomplishment!!
LOTR: Simply breathtaking. Actors. Writing. Direction. Music. Sets. Equipment. I don't know how many times I've seen the best trilogy ever, but it's still like a new journey every time I watch the movies and still evokes the same emotions.
5:37 It IS a real place. They actually constructed The Shire in New Zealand I think. It is still there where you can visit it.
24:36 _"Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson."_
😆
😅
I only just got to this today and I am SO glad you're watching the extended edition!
I still love Sam's line when he says he's about to go further than he has ever gone before.... (and it's only the edge of the Shire)
that intro was so relatable, lmao. I found your channel because of firefly, but i got through your Lost, Stranger Things, and Walking Dead playlists while grinding in an old school MMO in windowed mode sharing the other half of the screen with youtube.
honestly my adhd brain has an easier time doing both than it does with either one individually.
Holy cow!
I’ll be watching this shortly, but just wanted to say wow! So glad you guys are doing these movies!!
Oh wow, you are in for a treat. It blows my mind every time I learn that someone hasn’t watched these movies. I was 11 when this movie was released in theatres. It is my favorite memory of all time. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Ooooh 2023 starting off this hot, right out the gate!?! Love it
Even though the Hobbits seem young and childlike sometimes they were actually older than most humans. Ages of the four hobbits during LotR: Frodo is 50 years old; Sam is 38 years old; Merry is 36 years old and Pippin is 28 years old. For comparison Boromir was 40, making Frodo definitely his senior.
Wow, I thought you had already watched these movies. Favourite trilogy and the 3rd movie is my favourite movie of all time. So happy you are watching this
I don’t claim this without heavy consideration after 35 years of watching movies…but it’s the best trilogy ever made.
As a long-time fan of the books, I remember the online fan community being extremely concerned about the making of these movies. We were afraid that they would be messed up ... again ... by someone who didn't understand the books.
Thankfully, that didn't happen. 🙂
When Peter Jackson offered Sir Ian the role of Gandalf the Wizard, Sir Ian replied “Now Peter, you know I’m not actually a wizard?” And Peter said “Yes I know that. I want you to use your acting skills to portray…. A wizard… for the duration of the film.”
If you were to draw a graph of his process, it would be Sir Ian, Sir Ian, Sir Ian. Gandalf, YOU SHALT NOT PASS! Sir Ian, Sir Ian, Sir Ian.
@@lemmy103 And how did he know what to say? The words were written down for him in a script. How did he know where to stand? People told him.
I can't believe you guys never watched this. This is gonna be a great watch!
What a joyful experience! I'm so excited to watch the rest of them with you! I think my favorite shot from this movie is when Frodo volunteers, and Gandalf is the only one who hears him. The look on his face, knowing his dear little friend is going to have to be the one to make such a treacherous journey, bearing this horrible burden. It's such a small moment but it really stuck with me.
I love this moment too! Having listened to the actors commentary on the film, Ian McKellan said that in that moment he reacted as if he was a father whose son was declaring that he was going off to war. The emotion he was trying to express was of someone who was proud but sorrowful at the prospect. I think he did an excellent job. And that moment always gets to me as I remember the actor’s words.
To give you context to the rings invisibility. There are 2 worlds/dimensions like the upsidedown in ST. The seen and the unseen world. When wearing the ring you are now in the unseen world. Ring wraiths/Nazgul live in both at the same time.
First of all, well done on watching the extended version!! If you're going to watch it, might as well do it right!! lol You definitely won't regret this!
Thank you :) and that's exactly what we thought :)
HEY GUYS!! I'm so freakin' excited about this!! Welcome to Middle Earth, sit back and enjoy the journey!! Lovin' this!!
~Dawne
It makes you feel at ease watching you guys react to the greatest trilogy ever made while drinking a coffee in the morning. Thank you!
5:25 That’s why it works for me!!! The fantasy elements are still grounded in reality 💯🎬🍿
Because it is written as (and based on) legend rather than imagination. Elements of the original story have been taken from folklore. Tolkien wanted to write alternative history with a wink. His motives are probably even deeper.
Sam and frodo are similar age, but Frodo is literally 55-66 years old currently.
Re: the flood at the river. You'll notice Gandalf's "magic" almost always involves fire. It's related to his mission.
Peter Jacksons one of my all time favourite directors, gre up watching Bad taste, Meet the feebles and Brain dead, then he did these later on and King kong, then that they wont grow old and the Beatles Docs more recently.
Best LOTR movie reaction I’ve ever seen. It’s prompted me to subscribe to your channel, which I believe is a first for me. It was quite clear you were both ‘in’ from the opening monologue. And brought back happy memories of seeing the Fellowship in the cinema, Christmas 2001. I had no knowledge of Tolkien or Middle Earth. Didn’t know what to expect but I was completely committed in the opening few minutes. You acknowledged the quality of the movies referencing the score, make up, cinematography and fantastic acting etc. You even mentioned the lighting of the single mounted Ringwraith (a gorgeous scene). The narrative clearly posed no issues for you at all. I loved your emotion when the fellowship is formed at the CofE. What a journey you’ve both begun.
They actually built the hobbit village in a farmer’s field in New Zealand, it is there today still & ppl pay to tour through it. The rivers, scenery, it is all New Zealand. Very few places were green screened. Mostly the dwarves’ homeland
You can go to the Shire in New Zealand. The Village is still there to visit
This is so awesome to see y'all react because these are my favorite films and I love reactions, but most people haven't seen them because they don't like long movies or don't usually like fantasy. It's fun seeing these films often change their minds, but it's so sooo fun seeing (and hearing) folks who already love fantasy get to enjoy this masterpiece for the first time
Both of you are so lovely! I think you are the first people I have seen who were moved to tears when the Fellowship was formed.💜
I am so incredibly happy you started watching LotR. I was obsessed with it for the longest time when it came out. It became like 70 percent of my personality haha. Seeing you freshly experience the movies is almost like watching in for the first time again. You will forever be a fan of this, I can promise you that! Happy watching
Wasn't expecting to see this. I love these movies.
I remember sleeping over a friend's house, which I was almost never allowed to do, and we tried to pull an all-nighter watching these, which I'd never watched before. Core memory unlocked.
This is awesome. These are such good movies! Watching them with you guys is such a nice surprise!
thank you peeps. for sharing your LOTR journey with us. i'm keen to see the rest of it
I’ve never been able to get past the first 20 minutes of the first movie…this helped
SO glad you're watching these. I saw every LOST reaction, and am looking forward to watching your reactions to these movies--one of my absolute favorite movie series. Enjoy!
It's always funny when a reactor first tackles LOTR, the extended cut. They all look apprehensive about the time - then bounce up after the movie finishes and says "Over already!?'
"Like sending two kids out into the world." Yes it is. But it's the child like innocence of the hobbits that mean they don't fall instant prey to the corruption of the ring, when even Gandalf thinks he'll fall prey to the corruption, even with the best of intentions.
Holy crap! Always thrilled to see reactors i like watch these classics, and y'all are at the top of that list! SO glad you did this for the channel. Excited to join you on this journey!
The thing with the elvish rings is they weren't made by Sauron, so while their power is still bound to the one ring they're not as controlled by it. The elvish rings remain relatively pure and the wielders of them didn't suffer the same fate as the Man ringbearers. Most of the Dwarvish rings were lost, some in the stomachs of dragons.
You said at the beginning of Frodo's journey that they send off a kid, but in the book he is over 40 years old; hobbits live longer than humans.
I remember when the 3rd movie came out on Blu-ray, I did a marathon of all 3 extended cuts in one day: wake up, eat breakfast, watch the first movie, eat lunch, watch the second movie, eat dinner, watch the third movie, go to bed.
Pippin would be ashamed that you only ate three meals.
@@bradcarver8127 😂
WE had to wait a full year between movies, you are lucky and able to binge it in a day lol
"Stop touching it!" "Yeah, he keeps playing with his thing."
Me and my wife raising two boys under 4.
😂😂😂😂😂
great new years surprise! I would never have guessed you guys hadn't seen it yet, better late than never, or precisely when you mean to...🙃
Enjoyed your reactions! Since you have apparently watched the Hobbit movies, you know that Gandalf knew that Bilbo had acquired a magical ring. But which ring? "There are many magical rings...and none of them should be used lightly!" Gandalf had been uneasy about Bilbo's ring ever since he found out about it, but the ring had no stone or any markings, as if it were one of the lesser rings. When Gandalf first greets Bilbo at the door of Bag End, he exclaims, "You haven't aged a day!" and gives him a hard look. Hobbits live to be 100 as often as not, so Bilbo is very old but not unduly so. It is the fact that he still looks middle-aged that reawakens Gandalf's fears, for only the Great Rings prolong life. But Bilbo comes from a long-lived family on his mother's side, so perhaps there is nothing to worry about. Gandalf knows that Sauron's forces are actively looking for the One Ring, so he is taking a chance in letting it lie hidden in the Shire. So he rides to Minas Tirith, the great city of Gondor founded by Isildur, to seek for accounts of its finding. Once he reads Isildur's account of the Ring's appearance, he immediately returns to the Shire and gives Frodo's ring the fire test. Only then is he sure he has found the One Ring.
It's never mentioned in the movies but Arwen is the granddaughter of the most powerful mage in the world Galadriel, the elven queen.
She also had two brothers in the books I don't remember having them confirmed in the movies.
3 brothers. One of which is the most famous in the entire legendarium and beloved by all and first discovered men, named Finrod, the other two died in the war of wrath named Aegnor and Angrod.
Now I see why Rob and Trin are so relatable and the best reactors out there, it's because they're gamers like me and you.
❤🎮❤🎮❤🎮
How.... have you not seen this... it's a masterpiece.
I’m glad you mention that Bilbo was an unusual hobbit for exploring outside the shire. Many movie watchers (understandably) wonder why Merry and especially Pippin (who, let’s be real, is the problem rather than Merry lol) are “allowed” on this journey. XD But that adventurousness that both share is a rare quality in hobbits. But in real life, “heroes” are often the people who actually do it, not necessarily those you expect will.
Was I hiding under a rock yesterday? This just popped up in my feed.
Gimlis father was one of the dwarves in thorins company from the hobbit
Oh, nice! Movie reactions! I can watch something with you again. Happy New 2023 year, Rob and Trin!
Thank you Julia ❤❤, happy new year!
Oh wow!!! I'm super excited about this reaction
It’s my own personal Frodo and Sam !!!! I’m so very happy to join you on this journey. If it’s any consolation, the end credits are EXTREMELY LONG and there are no end credit scenes, so the movies aren’t nearly as long as expected. And great cliffhangers to end the first two so you immediately want to watch the next one.
Hey Paul, hope you are doing well, very happy we can accompany you with this amazing trilogy.
Gandalf is a "Maia". One of five Maiar that the Valar sent to Middle Earth long, long ago.
The Valar (the "Gods") sent five Maiar (think of them as Angels or Demigods) to Middle-earth to help contest the evil of the fallen Maiar (Sauron and Balrogs). Yes, in a sense, Gandalf and the Balrog are brothers. They had great skills of hand and mind and assumed the guise of Men, seemingly old but of great vigor. Their mission was to guide Elves and Men by gaining trust and spreading knowledge, not by ruling them with fear and force. They were known as the "Istari" or Wizards.
These Maiar/Istari were:
Gandalf the Grey, (later Gandalf the White)
Saruman the White (Curumo or Curunír; later "Saruman of Many Colors")
Radagast the Brown (Aiwendil)
Alatar and Pallando, the "Blue Wizards" (for their sea-blue robes, they went East and disappeared)
Gandalf was known by the following names:
Olórin (his "true name" as a Maia)
Gandalf (Men, Hobbits, in the North)
Mithrandir (Elves : "Grey Pilgrim" or "Grey Wanderer")
Incánus (Gondor / in the South, possibly "Mind Ruler" or "Mind Master")
Tharkûn (Dwarves : "Staff Man")
Greyhame (Rohan : "Grey Cloak")
The Grey Pilgrim (Elves & friends of elves)
Stormcrow (by King Théoden of Rohan, due to Gandalf chasing trouble)
White Rider (by some of Edoras)
Láthspell (derogatory name by Grima Wormtongue : "Bad News")
Old Greybeard
Gandalf the Wandering Wizard
Of course in the book, Bilbo is actually 18 years older or so when we see him in Rivendell.
Sarumon and Gandalf aren’t actually old men, they’re Meiar which are immortal spirits. They just took on those forms
One thing I always notice now and find 'illuminating' is, when Frodo puts on the ring atop weather too to escape the 5 and gets stabbed, Aragorn is seen as Full pitch black dark in the eyes of Sauron, meaning that he's a great threat to him while many others are just light grey or 8n the case of the 9, bright white.
Gandalf whispering to the moth: “Go get me some Germolene”
“Alright guys, if you could just stop making stupid mistakes.” *looks around nervously*
I didn't know you two were doing these! Happily surprised. Thumbs up but I'm not watching until part 2.
Thank you Eric, yeah we have quiet a selection of movies that we watched on patreon, we want to start editing them for youtube, it's quiet challeging but yeah this trilogy is just a masterpiece!
21:45 there are _Uruk_ ("Orcs") but these are the _Uruk-hai_ (think of them as "Elite Orcs"). in the movies, the Uruk-hai are usually depicted with the mark of the White Hand of Saruman to demonstrate their higher rank and "finer breeding".
A note on Book vs. Movie: One of the biggest flaws in this movie is the Fact that Aragorn has Anduril from the very begining of the story, when he draws his sword to confront Sam in The Prancing Pony, its Anduril he draws, broken about a foot below the Hilts, The "Flight to the Ford" scene wasnt a big deal except he made Arwen out to be some kinda of wizard and she DEF was not, the flood was triggered automatically by the Riders themselves trying to enter Rivendell by the Elven Ring Elrond wears, those are the only "serious" errors/flaws in the story of the First movie, the other two come with thier own flaws as well, but in the intrest of "no spoilers" ill wait till those are posted to comment
Thanks for sharing this was great seeing people like u guys that wud appreciate it. It's a rare thing
You guys are my favorite reactors. Watched your entire LOST reaction after I recently rewatched the show since it originally aired. And coincidentally I also just rewatched The Extended Lord of the Rings trilogy twice these past two months over the Christmas holiday.
There are two things I tend to want to point out to people. As you surmise, the setting is somewhat low fantasy; Tolkien uses magic elements as a form of miraculous divine intervention where the ultimate fates of human-kind are up to their own free will (this literary work is one of Christian influence). This is a setting in which magic is defined by those who wield it a force of nature or ontological being (where "magic" might instead refer to something outside what is possible, or believable). For example, in the books, Sam asks an elf about elfish magic, and she is bewildered by the question. The other thing is that Tolkien's time and place was such that social stratification changed in an evolutionary manner (rather than revolutionary); Samwise is a servant of Frodo's and plays the role he accepts as natural for him according to the order of things.
The Dwarf, Grimlie, is played by the same actor that was in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Arc as the Egyptian digger friend of Indie's John Rys Davis
Shut the front door!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 OMG! I love you guys even more! First, TWD, then FTWD, Better Call Saul and now my Favorite movies ever!!!👏👏👏(including The Hobbit) 😂🎉🎉🎉 what a start to the new year! I thank you! 🥹🥹😃
Fun fact: the scene were gandalf hits his head was actually real
a note about The Ring itself: The Ring's temptations are DIRECTLY related to how much native power a being has naturally, THATS why Gandalf was so afraid of it and why Galadriel was so affected by it
Finally! THE Masterpiece!!! 😍
Omg! I’m so excited! These are my favorite movies ever
Oh my days! Such good movies!
The reason everything looks so grounded and real is because most of what you see is real. Whether that be a miniature in the case of Orthanc (Saruman's tower), Rivendell and The Argonath or gigantic "sets" like The Shire which was planted and built over the course of a year before a single frame was shot. One thing to note about the miniatures is that they were huge. So you could film them very close. The ring of Isengard was about 20 meters in diameter. Complete with caves and mining equipment. All in camera.
The pre-production of these three films was insane (they were shot in one go and edited into three films. Just like the books had to split into three from one great volume because of paper being so costly at the time. ).
Truly a passion project of nerds playing around with their toys.
edit: If you want to look more into this, the keyword is "big-atures". But please wait until you've seen them all.
