I never understood how people could get emotional watching things like this but as I've got older I've come to understand why a little better.. The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings movies get me emotional. They're masterpieces. I understand they're adaptions but I grew up with the visuals for LotR and I'm almost certain it's one of the main things that has given me my deep love for fantasy. The music, the scenery, costumes.. Absolutely everything, sounds and feels perfect and because of that I feel something different to nostalgia every time I'm reminded of these two trilogy
@@safetydoggo2721 Opinions. Some people such as myself love the story as a whole rather than looking at that as individual ones. If you see them individually then sure, but together, it's a world. Notice how I mentioned both trilogies.
@DrTheKay it is though honestly. yeah the cgi sucks and its not on the same level as lotr, but they did the best they could with the story that was given. the story just wasnt as good as lotr trilogy.
Christopher Lee spoke with a greater authority in his voice at age 89 than most of us will ever have at any point of our lives. May he rest in deserved peace!

now after this documentary, i see "the hobbit" with completely different eyes. they put so much work and passion in these films. amazing! love these vlogs 😍
actually I see alot of rushing and trying to meet deadlines, though some good came from the movies like rebuilding the hobbiton set with actual permanent materials
@@sonicfreak04 See, that's what I don't get. Jackson came on late to the project, he admits that he winged a lot of it and that much of the production was rushed, yet he still made the decision to make three very long and bloated films instead of just one simple little character piece. It's like he wanted to give himself more problems, and to me it was pointless becasue half the stuff in these films was either just made up for the sake of it or mined from the appendixes just to fatten out the runtime. The Hobbit was a very short and very modest book which would have worked wonderfully as just a small, understated little adventure film, but they had to try and turn it into some sort of massive epic. The result is a murky narrative and some really ropy CGI effects and makeup. They're still very watchable, but 70% of the stuff in here just isn't needed.
42:08 Every true fan knows how much work Alan Lee and John Howe put into making drawings for Lord of the Rings... but here they even draw in blue and red to created 3d look. Thats sick ! Such a dedication, we can only guess how many concept arts those two created for Hobbit, LotR and even before books. I having nothing in common with that sort of art but I do have MASSIVE respect for John and Alan !
if you get a chance to see john howe's "looking for the hobbit" you should watch. it delves into tolkein's origins of the stories and characters that are in his books. lots of cool locations and an understanding of where these most beloved and magical stories derived.
I wish lotr/hobbit sets would permanently be displayed in a studio like the harry potter sets in the wb studio in london. That would be SICK. ( i know there’s hobbiton, but i mean, pretty much all of it )
A big part of non Hobbiton sets are green screen and matte paintings. A huge chunk of Rivendell's background is a matte painting. Minas Tirith is either a miniature model, a digital model, or a jumbled set designed to accommodate any kind of shot without seeming repetitive. Tl;dr, it would be more expensive than you think because you would have to actually build the parts that were brought in digitally.
Early last year sir ian McKellen camen to our school for a visit and gave us a speach about him being gay and stuff and at the end he said if you do not study YOU SHALL NOT PASS! It was an awesome experience :-)
Man I love Andy Serkis what an absolute dude, he just seems like such a genuine good hearted guy. These movies really lucked out finding him to play Gollum, legendary
The fact that they can make a 1 hour and 8 minute long backstage vlog of genuinely interesting and fascinating content just shows what great movies it is and how hard they work on it! Incredible!
I am so happy that Peter made these films. The story is one of the best ever told, and it took someone with extraordinary passion for the material to do them justice. And they did do that, and more.
I enjoyed them too. I think k the big problem people had with them was how heavy they went with the CGI. But with how rushed they were, what did people expect?
I agree with you IDK if they were rushed, a bit of Humor and some emotion make the Hobbit movie’s feel more real the characters were allowed to 😅be funny or mean. I love all the movies. I’m a little late getting into the Hobbit movies now.
Alan Lee said he imagined Rivendell as though it were some place he would like to retire. Yes, please. I think Rivendell is that safe, happy spot a lot of us would love to visit.
Looking at poor Pete at the beginning of this special compared to the last image of him is starting. This movie really took it out of him, wow. Thank you for your commitment Mr Jackson and crew.
I really don't know where Peter Jackson got his energy during this whole journey...but a BIG THANK YOU again to all involved for bringing The Hobbit to life!
Peter didn't want to do this. Studio started the Hobbit independently, with another director, which backed off when he realized what he was getting into, 2 years into pre-production. Peter was supposed to be an consultant at most, but when the other guy left, he was forced to step in to save the movie. I'm amazed he was able to save it to the extent he did, but is obvious it doesn't raise to the level of LOTR.
SomeRandomGuy it woudnt be a stretch to say they would’ve been better than lord of the rings by miles. They would have had the same dedication, same set dedication, costumes, real orcs, more developed characters. Not to mention the cinematography would have been better and it would’ve been more up to date visually and audio wise. Saying that, I think the films still ended out amazing. Below lord of the rings but still comparable, and anything that can be compared to lotr deserves praise,
@@Zamolxes77 the other director was Guillermo del Toro (the guy who made Pan's Labyrinth) and originally he wanted the movies to have a more childish and comedic tone, something that would match the tone of the book. The studio didn't like that however and after 2 years he "left" (in other words the studio pressured him into leaving).
@@VolvagiasBlaze Sounds legit. I'm not surprised the studio pressured him, they wanted Peter Jackson treatment, but Peter told them probably he's not doing that again.
I find it incredible how much goes into just a few minutes of a scene in these movies. And people sadly bash The Hobbit. I love ALL the LOTR films equally.
Right??? When I seen pictures of him currently I kept thinking if he just shaved he would look exactly the same as in the first movie- and he really does!!!
I wasn't super impressed the first time I watched The Hobbit trilogy but I've just re-watched it and was totally and completely engulfed. Can't wait to watch it again and again.
Everyone in the cast seems so amazing. It must be great to be a part of this huge group and film these amazing movies. There's so much passion from everyone, and Peter Jackson is so amazing and kind. I really love that he's so engaged with his fans as well, making these video blogs for us to watch. Truly amazing.
Bless Pete Jackson for tending to these great works with such love and bringing them to life for younger generations and old fans alike! Bless you Mr Jackson.
This whole little Vlog series makes me happy, i just love watching all of the funny little moments and the effort that went into one of my favorite movies!
the best scene in the hobbit trilogy is the dwarves singing by the fire it's the first time we understand the dwarves motives and see Bilbo empathize with them
For me it is when Bilbo and Thorin hug for the first time after Bilbo saves his life. It’s like finally he’s included in the company. I watched that scene 20 times really!
These might not be perfect or canon but you have to appreciate the hard work and imagination that went into this. That alone helps me appreciate it. Peter Jackson did an amazing job both trilogies!
Just watching Jackson say that he'd love to retire to Hobbiton is so wonderful, it's my sentiments exactly, the very feeling I had when watching Fellowship of the Ring for the first time, It truly felt like the most idylic peaceful amazing little village ever, and if that isn't successful filmmaking I don't know what is!
san tran they weren’t that good tbh, you could tell peter was getting sick of this universe...the Lotr is full of awesome stuff, the hobbit feel too much like they were obsessed with being suitable for a 3 part action trilogy
Seeing Ian mckellen taking on Gandalf role again 20 years later made me emotionnal.. what a legend. So much love for this crew, Peter Jackson and his vision and masterpieces had such an impact on my life and i guess many others.. can't describe the feeling LOTR and The Hobbit bring to me.. it's so special.. ageless.. thanks Mr Jackson and all the incredible people you've been working with.
Hearing all these stories about how production on American films is super stressful and sometimes actors are jerks. This is refreshing video because everyone seems to be having so much fun while also doing an an incredible amount of work for 2 years.
I was never a fan of these books, and then came Peter Jackson. The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings movies were so incredibly done that I’m now studying the Silmarillion. These are by far the best movies I’ve ever seen. Everyone who worked on these movies is totally amazing. Kudos to Peter Jackson and the crew. Thanks for taking me on such a beautiful journey through J.R.R. Tolkien’s worlds and turning me on to his books.
The genesis of making great movies like The Hobbit & Lord Of The Rings -- all episodes shows what genius & talent that create great films always begins with a great story. J.R.R Tolkien gave us a the books of trilogy that inspired the imagination for making it surreal. Thanks so much to Peter Jackson & his production team & the movie company for making it happen. Lights, Camera -- Action. It's a wrap . . . Peace Pipe out --Peelcasso
+Peel David Great movies are The Lord of the Rings films. The Hobbit films are far from great. Trust me, I hate to say this, but The Hobbit really can't be considered "great". Enjoyable on a subjective level, but not "great" on an objective level. Analyze the technical aspects, so including all that has to do with the narrative, the handling of the characters and all that, and you'll find dozens of flaws. The Lord of the Rings trilogy was, and is, and will always be a true masterpiece, but The Hobbit is hardly even a shade of that.
@@RecklessDemonX It might be possible to say that the difference between the trilogies is like between LOTR and the Hobbit. When I first read the book (in translation), it felt like a children's book, and simpler than Harry Potter. So the result would not be the same, the inspiration could not be the same. Yet the acting is great, the scenery as wonderful. Good music, the same artists, great wardrobe. The plot cannot be as interesting but there are some interesting characters. I am probably too simple to be aware of the flaws, maybe many are. When I watched the movies, I was not as enthralled, for sure, but still impressed with all the craft that went into tt. Yet I agree, not a masterpiece like LOTR.
3 things that make Radagast awesome! 1. His house is built around a tree. 2. Sebastian... need I go on? 3. The simple fact that Sylvester McCoy is just as crazy as his character. "To meet Doctor Who fans... from Spain!" GO RADAGAST! GO SEBASTIAN! AAAAHHH!!!!! :) :) :)
You know what, I love these movies. And I truly feel like Peter did the best with what the studios gave him. No one is saying they’re better than LOTR but they’re not absolute garbage either.
I am so, so, so happy that they decided to do this. I absolutely love this vlog and have been watching it many times for the past few years. Love the tolkein world so much
It's just amazing how much effort had actually been put in these movies. On top of that not only did Peter created a great piece of cinematography, but these movies also serve as the tourism ads (in the better sense of the word) for New Zealand. No wonder he was knighted at such young age (for the knighthood that is). In a way these movies are also a love song of Peter to New Zealand.
Actually living in New Zealand and living in Wellington when all of this was happening is truly amazing and you feel so special and going to hobbiton is truly an amazing experience
I Love THESE blogs you get to see Everyone's passion for their character and how much FUN they all had together!!! Plus all the beautiful artwork and work they did JUST to make people happy. Also Fili's such an adorable dwarf. Loved LOTR TRILOGY AND THIS ONE DIDN'T FAIL IN THE LEAST IT'S GREAT. AN I'M NOT A BIG FANTASY TYPE PERSON,BUT THEY DID AN AWESOME JOB💯.
Seeing Christopher Lee in this is so bitter-sweet. Aside from Martin Freeman, I think he was my favorite actor from these movies. He is truly missed by the film world.
I read The Hobbit when I was a young man in my late teens I thoroughly enjoyed it then and you have made my heart race since then with all of your lovely movies thank you and God bless you
This behind the scenes are amazing. Creating memories, catch it on film - on how each actor felt about their training and role. It is 2021, with the pandemic, world isolation I am watching epic movies by Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit) and never get tired of watching it. The best battle - The Battle of the Five Armies still gives me goosebumps. THANK YOU!
Man, thinking about how involved even this BTS video is, I can't even imagine how crazy it must be for everyone involved, especially Peter Jackson. Thanks for sharing!
I'm 56 years old ,but when i watch any of the lord of the rings films i am a 6 year old, I am in complete awe and mystified at the beauty of all the films!,thanks mr jackson . Andy serkis was the only choice for playing Gollum, he brought gollum to life . Thanks again 👏👏.peace out ✌
Thank you so much for giving us these. Watching how much fun the cast and crew enjoy making these movies (despite difficulties) really is a privilege. I feel content inside knowing how much love went into these. Can't wait to see the rest!
Man, I remember watching it when it first came out…it’s unbelievable that the first hobbit movie now in 2022 is as far away as the lord of the rings was back in 2011/2012 😅
I really really appreciate your hard work, absolutely wonderful and what an amazing piece of cinema that'll be praised for years to come, nothing else will come close to these movies, thank you very much for all the joy you brought to us, and hopefully hopefully we will see another set of movies as these.
@@DrReagge The First actor for FIli was rob kazinsky but he made the decision to turn home for personal reasons. idk what kind of personal reasons. anyway peter jackson said that it was a huge loss.
My grandson went to New Zeland for a semester in college and saw some wonderful sights on breaks. When his semester was ending my daughter and son-in-law flew there to meet up with him and traveled all over, and one on their goals was to visit Hobbiton. Such a thrill. The whole Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit were one of our very favorites. So they got to see what they are showing since the first was taken down. Thank you all for giving us these movies.
Its really nice to see the director walking around the real sets, talking about blocking of shots and camera angles...all the stuff that Lucas didn't do for the prequels
Beautiful. It's a thrill seeing how these things were made possible, witnessing Tolkienesque scenes and landscapes as they are brought to life and getting to "peek over Peter's shoulder" as far as the next movie is concerned. Also, dwarves in barrels. You just gotta love these guys, eh?
Wow, now i know why it takes up to two years to make movies like this or LOTR. I never thought about how much work is behind all this and how many people are needed for such a movie production. And btw... New Zealand is sooo awesome and has some of the most beautiful landscapes i've ever seen...
The amount of work that went into it, the thought, the passion, the sleepless nights really made them great, but the inappropriate cgi and different frame stole from the magic, unfortunately.
Its amazing to see those actors who played lotr which was shoot 12 years before the hobbits and still looked exactly the same! God, they barely aged!!! We need more of this. please make more movies or book what happen after lord of the ring..
They left out my favorite part. Billbo beside the fire saying " struck by lighting" I thought it was a great part when Gandalf says " a queer little fellow, had fits sometimes." I loved the way they worked so closely with the book. Read the book several times. Love it.
Seeing Elijah Wood, Sir Ian McKellan, Hugo Weaving and Cate Blanchett again

These might not be perfect or canon but you have to appreciate the hard work and imagination that went into this. That alone helps me appreciate it. Peter Jackson did an amazing job both trilogies!
Just watching Jackson say that he'd love to retire to Hobbiton is so wonderful, it's my sentiments exactly, the very feeling I had when watching Fellowship of the Ring for the first time, It truly felt like the most idylic peaceful amazing little village ever, and if that isn't successful filmmaking I don't know what is!
Im so in love with the hobbit movies. They are all excellent. If only he could produce more related installments. Hope to see more of them.
san tran they weren’t that good tbh, you could tell peter was getting sick of this universe...the Lotr is full of awesome stuff, the hobbit feel too much like they were obsessed with being suitable for a 3 part action trilogy
Can’t wait for the tv series!
I agree, they're my favourite trilogy
59:48 'There is a chopper behind me isn't there' *gets blown away*
God, the art! What I wouldn't give to live inside the mind of one of the concept artists for a day.
Seeing Ian mckellen taking on Gandalf role again 20 years later made me emotionnal.. what a legend. So much love for this crew, Peter Jackson and his vision and masterpieces had such an impact on my life and i guess many others.. can't describe the feeling LOTR and The Hobbit bring to me.. it's so special.. ageless.. thanks Mr Jackson and all the incredible people you've been working with.
I'm amazed they had any energy over to shoot these extra bits. I'd just be pissed off if someone was filming me while stressed out like that.
36:16 Gandalf with 3D glasses makes my last 2 brain cells boogie
he looks like a star!
Hearing all these stories about how production on American films is super stressful and sometimes actors are jerks. This is refreshing video because everyone seems to be having so much fun while also doing an an incredible amount of work for 2 years.
8? 8? 8 years ago??? STOP. 😭 one day our favorite years will be 30 years ago
You're riiight! 😭
i remember the day i saw them at the cinema! :( time is too faast
add another 4 years .. time flying away from us
I was never a fan of these books, and then came Peter Jackson. The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings movies were so incredibly done that I’m now studying the Silmarillion. These are by far the best movies I’ve ever seen. Everyone who worked on these movies is totally amazing. Kudos to Peter Jackson and the crew. Thanks for taking me on such a beautiful journey through J.R.R. Tolkien’s worlds and turning me on to his books.
1:22 Pete: "shy artists" SO RELATABLE!!
The genesis of making great movies like The Hobbit & Lord Of The Rings -- all episodes shows what genius & talent that create great films always begins with a great story. J.R.R Tolkien gave us a the books of trilogy that inspired the imagination for making it surreal. Thanks so much to Peter Jackson & his production team & the movie company for making it happen. Lights, Camera -- Action. It's a wrap . . . Peace Pipe out --Peelcasso
+Peel David Great movies are The Lord of the Rings films. The Hobbit films are far from great. Trust me, I hate to say this, but The Hobbit really can't be considered "great". Enjoyable on a subjective level, but not "great" on an objective level. Analyze the technical aspects, so including all that has to do with the narrative, the handling of the characters and all that, and you'll find dozens of flaws. The Lord of the Rings trilogy was, and is, and will always be a true masterpiece, but The Hobbit is hardly even a shade of that.
@@RecklessDemonX It might be possible to say that the difference between the trilogies is like between LOTR and the Hobbit. When I first read the book (in translation), it felt like a children's book, and simpler than Harry Potter. So the result would not be the same, the inspiration could not be the same. Yet the acting is great, the scenery as wonderful. Good music, the same artists, great wardrobe. The plot cannot be as interesting but there are some interesting characters. I am probably too simple to be aware of the flaws, maybe many are. When I watched the movies, I was not as enthralled, for sure, but still impressed with all the craft that went into tt. Yet I agree, not a masterpiece like LOTR.
3 things that make Radagast awesome!
1. His house is built around a tree.
2. Sebastian... need I go on?
3. The simple fact that Sylvester McCoy is just as crazy as his character.
"To meet Doctor Who fans... from Spain!"
GO RADAGAST! GO SEBASTIAN! AAAAHHH!!!!! :) :) :)
Watched these 6 movie series again and again countless time and still feels the same vibe ❤️❤️ beyond words ❤️❤️❤️
You know what, I love these movies. And I truly feel like Peter did the best with what the studios gave him. No one is saying they’re better than LOTR but they’re not absolute garbage either.
I am so, so, so happy that they decided to do this. I absolutely love this vlog and have been watching it many times for the past few years. Love the tolkein world so much
Jackson's hair turns gray throughout this. poor guy. lol. Thank you Peter Jackson for the OT.
I had more fun and have rewatched this more than the hobbit movies themselves.
It's so cool that they got the native Maori people to bless them and yargggggg that's so cool! NATIVE PRIDE!
I'm a born and bred kiwi, I have cousins who have maori blood.
YES this was AWESOME SAUCE to see the indigenous do their thing 💗
It's beautiful!!
Andy freakin' Serkis. Actor, Director, Producer. I love seeing Peter Jackson recognizing and employing his talents.
It’s such a warm, creative and proffessional atmoisphere. It’s like...the fellowship of the ring
It's just amazing how much effort had actually been put in these movies. On top of that not only did Peter created a great piece of cinematography, but these movies also serve as the tourism ads (in the better sense of the word) for New Zealand. No wonder he was knighted at such young age (for the knighthood that is). In a way these movies are also a love song of Peter to New Zealand.
Actually living in New Zealand and living in Wellington when all of this was happening is truly amazing and you feel so special and going to hobbiton is truly an amazing experience
Imagine working your whole life writing a story. And it coming to life and produced as beautifully as these movies did.
I Love THESE blogs you get to see Everyone's passion for their character and how much FUN they all had together!!! Plus all the beautiful artwork and work they did JUST to make people happy. Also Fili's such an adorable dwarf. Loved LOTR TRILOGY AND THIS ONE DIDN'T FAIL IN THE LEAST IT'S GREAT. AN I'M NOT A BIG FANTASY TYPE PERSON,BUT THEY DID AN AWESOME JOB💯.
watching the blog just make me apreciate the movie so much more.. What a ton of job there is, and a huge amount of ppl involved!
The sky he points out at 1:01:51 is what you see behind Dol Guldur when Radagast enters it.
Peter Jackson transformation from day 1 to the last day is haunting..
Your profile picture is perfect for your comment.
That’s what stress will do to you!! Not his fault
@@Tawadeb thats his point
When Elijah mentions his age.. Big shocker ;#)
At 31:26 I really love how John Rhys-Davies calls out “DADDY!” to Gloin. It’s so wonderful to see that.
Thorin has such an amazing voice...
This brought tears to my eyes. I love it so much.
Seeing Christopher Lee in this is so bitter-sweet. Aside from Martin Freeman, I think he was my favorite actor from these movies. He is truly missed by the film world.

I read The Hobbit when I was a young man in my late teens I thoroughly enjoyed it then and you have made my heart race since then with all of your lovely movies thank you and God bless you
The dvd extras in this instance are pretty much top of the line…. And watching the entire journey from conception to screen is priceless!
I can't get enough of Peter Jackson and the production teams utterly incredible work. These movies will stand for 50 years!!
Really blows my mind away how much went into this. And it’s just absolutely gorgeous.
This behind the scenes are amazing. Creating memories, catch it on film - on how each actor felt about their training and role. It is 2021, with the pandemic, world isolation I am watching epic movies by Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit) and never get tired of watching it. The best battle - The Battle of the Five Armies still gives me goosebumps. THANK YOU!
I LOVED THESE FILMS…when they finally ended and I could go home and cry.
This is the movie which ll be remembered for ages.
Man, thinking about how involved even this BTS video is, I can't even imagine how crazy it must be for everyone involved, especially Peter Jackson. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely incredible. They put an amazing amount of energy, hard work, creativity and attention to detail into these movies. Very special.
I'm 56 years old ,but when i watch any of the lord of the rings films i am a 6 year old, I am in complete awe and mystified at the beauty of all the films!,thanks mr jackson .
Andy serkis was the only choice for playing Gollum, he brought gollum to life .
Thanks again 👏👏.peace out ✌
So much respect and love for this movie
Thank you so much for giving us these. Watching how much fun the cast and crew enjoy making these movies (despite difficulties) really is a privilege. I feel content inside knowing how much love went into these. Can't wait to see the rest!
It's like watching a movie about a movie 🤯 amazing
Every single one of them is adorable and I love them all so much
Man, I remember watching it when it first came out…it’s unbelievable that the first hobbit movie now in 2022 is as far away as the lord of the rings was back in 2011/2012 😅
I really really appreciate your hard work, absolutely wonderful and what an amazing piece of cinema that'll be praised for years to come, nothing else will come close to these movies, thank you very much for all the joy you brought to us, and hopefully hopefully we will see another set of movies as these.
This is before the actor for Fili had been replaced
I was wondering about that
I'm actually glad Dean played Fili. Plus his and Aiden's friendship chemistry showed up on screen and helped build their relationship as brothers
why was he replaced?
@@DrReagge they stated that it was due to some heath issues.
@@DrReagge The First actor for FIli was rob kazinsky but he made the decision to turn home for personal reasons. idk what kind of personal reasons. anyway peter jackson said that it was a huge loss.
My grandson went to New Zeland for a semester in college and saw some wonderful sights on breaks. When his semester was ending my daughter and son-in-law flew there to meet up with him and traveled all over, and one on their goals was to visit Hobbiton. Such a thrill. The whole Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit were one of our very favorites. So they got to see what they are showing since the first was taken down. Thank you all for giving us these movies.
Thank you for this...So enjoyable to have time now and to see all the people who worked and created to make these movies and stories so memorable!
It's impossible not shed tears of joy, such nostalgia such an epic journey
The Hobbit, a great movie, period.
YES!!!!
Best movie, best crew, best experience... Thank you all!
I can't stop watching this :( and the people from the hobbit are dying so quickly 😔R.I.P Ian Holm
Its really nice to see the director walking around the real sets, talking about blocking of shots and camera angles...all the stuff that Lucas didn't do for the prequels
It’s crazy how it’s been almost ten years. I love these movies
I used to watch all these blogs over and over.
Beautiful. It's a thrill seeing how these things were made possible, witnessing Tolkienesque scenes and landscapes as they are brought to life and getting to "peek over Peter's shoulder" as far as the next movie is concerned.
Also, dwarves in barrels.
You just gotta love these guys, eh?
Wow, now i know why it takes up to two years to make movies like this or LOTR. I never thought about how much work is behind all this and how many people are needed for such a movie production.
And btw... New Zealand is sooo awesome and has some of the most beautiful landscapes i've ever seen...
Can't believe people didn't enjoy the Hobbit Films. I think they're all quite lovely.
The amount of work that went into it, the thought, the passion, the sleepless nights really made them great, but the inappropriate cgi and different frame stole from the magic, unfortunately.
Same here. Fantastic movies
Its amazing to see those actors who played lotr which was shoot 12 years before the hobbits and still looked exactly the same! God, they barely aged!!! We need more of this. please make more movies or book what happen after lord of the ring..
They left out my favorite part. Billbo beside the fire saying " struck by lighting" I thought it was a great part when Gandalf says " a queer little fellow, had fits sometimes." I loved the way they worked so closely with the book. Read the book several times. Love it.
