I thought it was important that Bilbo refrains from violence in the book and that was sorely missing in the movies due to it being a fundamental piece of Bilbo's character.

"Burninating the countryside!" "Burninating the peasants!" "Burninating all the people...in their THATCHED ROOF COTTAGES!" "And the Smaug comes in the NIIIIIIIGHT!"

"I have seen every Star Wars film released since I was born in the cinema." I think being born there makes you a citizen of the cinema and entitles you to free tickets.

Oof, that was a journey....That part about the consequences of actions or lack thereof hit hard. I never thought people would write something that would make the GoT duo look moderately capable, and I'm mentioning GoT especially because it was basically consequence porn; from whether you'd decide to have a quickie with your sister to just pissing off too many people. I think I'm mostly miffed to the point of disgust with their certainty that they were doing so good that they had to bring in the delicate metaphysical/ontological guns like the innate evil or not of the orcs, because they'd done everything else so well that was the next natural step 🙄In a better world, Joseph Maule's performance would be a milestone in fantasy lore, but the fact that such a plotline can't hinge on a luckily scripted figure and a great actor, it needs.....argumentation, scenario, acting skills allaround, direction and actual moral sense, just made it tilt so heavily on Adar's perspective, because Adar was the only character whose portrayal felt had a whole history behind it, and who was actually displaying real actual feelings whether misguided or not. It's the first time I've seen a performance that is simply **too** good for the scenario. This is a new one. The people who made this are legitimately black holes of quality, they don't simply ignore good, they actively repell it with their choices. I'm kinda glad the character was recast tbh, so now this plotline too will return most likely to the level of the rest of the show and it'll simply become another hole-ridden plot. This show was too little to tackle this aspect of Tolkien, the whole Adar situation belonged to a much, much superior work to really work as it should.

Oh good, candid shit-takes over how you think people are no longer allowed to find other people beautiful in movies anymore because... cancel culture? Dude, you're only hurting yourself. This is your token "free engagement." I'm sure the you-tube algorithm will ignore the "do not show me content by this creator" part. Have fun doing .... whatever it is you do.

i give this review 3 bags of popcorn and countless dislikes

Love the movie RRR is so good

So when it comes to characters… even though they have 2 HR meetings, Titus and Cora are ultimately ones who enforced no doubt the horrors of war ordered by the Empirium onto the other characters 😵 how come this doesn’t come up at all ?

I love everything you put up, I'd love to see you do a series retrospective on Cowboy Bebop

Can you remember that time Anakin blew up the death star?... 😂

“When we hit 500 subs” June 2023 and your at almost 50K.

Yeah, Blade Runner 1 and 2049 certainly are masterpieces. Easily one of the best movie duoligies ever made. How on Earth both Ryan Gosling and Jared Leto ended up being in 1 of my top ten favourite movies and 1 other of my top 50 favourite movies (Jared Leto being in Blade Runner 2049, one of my top 50 favourite movies of all time, and Requiem for a Dream, my 4th favourite movie of all time, and Ryan Gosling also being in Blade Runner 2049 and being in Drive, my 5th favourite movie of all time), I don't know. Yeah, as good as the story of Saw 1 and 2 are, the rest of the Saw movie you mainly watch for the traps and to see how absurd and convoluted the story gets and also for Tobin Bell's performance as John Kramer. Not to see objectively good movies.

Wtf the hobbit was awesome.. not as good as any of the lotr movies but still entertaining

1:27:24 remember the pharoah mummy from the scorpion king Mummy movie? Lol why she look that.

I’ve been waiting to watch these because I wanted to see the show and ngl as good as the show was I was more excited to watch your videos

1:15:00 Kais whole plan is just ripped off from the Emporers in the Force Unleashed game series, find all the rebel leaders by hyping them up to rebel, then at their meeting, round them all up in a suprise sneaky ambush. Lol, Zack really gave no effort here, just smashed 9 other franchise stories and nouns together and put it on netflix for the hollywood money laundering.

Guys guys, the directors cuts are being renamed 😂 nothing says this films did exceptionally well like attempting to distance the directors cuts as much as possible 😂 well I look forward to the video rants that will inevitably eventuate.

It is in my head canon that Thranduil brought his army to force the dwarves to give him his treasure. King Thranduil would have started a war with the Dwarves in the beginning of movie if Smaug didn't show up. Because Smaug shows up, Thranduil believes it is a just punishment and leaves them to suffer for there consequences

The other is Faramir. Lol

Imagine being sent to a place in a body of a old man having your powers nerfed and still being a forgetful old man and then sometimes remembering things from the past a couple thousand years isn’t so easy to remember

The parts of the movie that make zero sense are due to the fact they are made up. Even if a few are hinted at in other books and journals, there was not a single reason to include a lot of the extra garbage. So much of this is done in order to stretch what could have been a 3 hour single movie into 3 horrible movies. I suggest trying to read the book while forgetting this series. LOTR is fun if you dont watch these or the Rings of Powher.

The way you described what Norrie's rational reaction to the consequences of her action reminded me so much of Powder/Jinx in Arcane, and I think that comparison with a much, much better character in an infinitesimally better constructed world makes it even more obvious how unnaturally everyone reacts to the weight of past events in this series....

I'm sorry, but I can't get over the --lightsabers-- laser swords. You mean that they invented, and USE, swords whose handles burn their wielders. But also, it's so easy to fix said issue that a piece of cloth along the handle is enough to wield them barehanded. So the people who invented them intentionally designed the swords to burn the people that use them unless they are wearing gloves. I did a rewrite for the first movie, and one important thing I added was the idea of ID tagging the weapons and ships so only people in the imperium could use them. Link the laser swords to the gloves because they've got a chip in them, have her laser sword be damaged in the fight and require the cloth to cover an exposed component, anything but making the sword wrong as a joke.

I take point about the disregard for physics but as this is taking place on a planet other than earth so our laws of physics do not necessarily apply. Or am i high?

I like how Belli's wacky space laser/plasma/whatever tf pistol has a hammer on it like a 19th century revolver 🤣

nice try Connor Dawg i know that’s u talkin 😭

Zack Snyder’s Space Empire (at home) - Spans multiple galaxies - Blows up planets for fun - Can imprison and make use of literal star gods - Can resurrect the dead - Can’t synthesise or produce food for the crew of a single ship - Has no infrastructure to produce food within its vast territory so has to resort to extortion and piracy on a single village on a single planet - Can’t overwhelm a single village with a ship specifically designed to conquer entire worlds - Can’t train their soldiers to not be rapists for 5 minutes - Have no concept of chain of command or sucession Sure.

38:56 can confirm 😆, I read a decent amount of the books The Silmarillion, Children of Húrin. I checked out of rings of power at episode 3 and just couldn't finish watching it. I am watching your commentary series because it was suggested on my feed and your humor and analysis is on point. I can only hold on to the hope that the gollum movie will be good as it is the director from the original trilogy. Though, I'm going to be honest my hopes are low because the gollum video game was absolutely terrible 😮‍💨

I'm going to go against the grain here (pun intended) and say you deserve a mental break from all this crap. Review Shogun before they bastardize it with a second season. Or the Gentlemen Netflix series. Treat yourself.

Take a lesson rings of power, this is how you create a powerful protagonist !

One of the "extended scenes" is several seconds of someoen walking up stairs, so idk, id have to say I agree with you and its unnecessary.

1:18:00 I’ll admit I couldn’t stop chuckling when Largo was giving his speech talking about how “ Our hearts are bigger than our feet!” I kept thinking “Yeah! Unless you slow down slightly!” Then you’re wolf chow!”

The Necromancer part of these movies is something that gets mentioned in the books, I forget if it’s in the movie version of the council scene in Fellowship. It’s theorized by Gandalf that Sauroman had been working with Sauron for a good while, that him dismissing the Necromancer’s presence was explicitly a ploy from him to delay the council from learning of Sauron’s rise. The climax of that arc does kinda suck though because yeah no Gandalf *SEES THE DAMN EYE AND DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY PANIC AND ACT WITH THE RANDOM NEW RING BILBO HAS*

"the crayon eaters" 😂😂😂😂😂

Why doesn't Disa have a beard? Dwarven women have been well established in the Hobbit and a line in the Two Towers to have beards

It was always my opinion that dwarves were very hardy physically but mentally very susceptible and fickle, so Thorin was very weak to both dragon/gold sickness and the thrall of the Arkenstone. It was an issue as soon as he got anywhere near home. It probably also has to do with having “King’s blood”; I always thought it would be interesting if the royal dwarves were slightly inbred like many royal families.

Really enjoyed all these lengthy critiques!

I just realized; the Rebels must've been aware that the Imperium's scanners couldn't detect anyone hiding underground, or wouldn't bother to check unless they had a reason to. Otherwise they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of digging a tunnel network in order to ambush them. This means that they had a way to hide their women and children, by digging another tunnel for them to hide in somewhere else, and didn't think to do it. Also, why was Nemesis the only person in the long house protecting them? You've got an entire village full of people fighting to save their homes, but could only spare a single person to protect their loved ones? If the rebels thought protecting the women and children was important enough to keep one of their best fighters off the frontline, I'm pretty sure they would've put a few extra guys in there with her as back up.

The orcs one I can actually explain. Orcs can survive in sunlight no problem but have low stamina and are much stupider than goblins. Goblins are smaller, faster, can run longer but cannot be in the sun. Saruman bred them to get, big, strong, mobile in the day orc traits but also fast, intelligent and have endurance like goblins

Good fucking God, the Scargiver. It took me about a month to sit through the first, and that one I was laughing at cause it was hysterically bad at times. This one I watched fast because it wasn't goofing off enough so it was easy to just keep it playing and you wouldn't miss unintentional fuckups in the intricate ways they were in the first. It was just a lull. Like watching an a-hole injecting himself with heroin and lay there tripping for a while. Booooring. No funny ugly aliens manhandling beta males. No spider-women. And for the love of fuck, can someone please edit fan-edits of all Zack Snyder movies to remove/speed up all the slow motion?

There comes a time when a true visionary makes a story so incredible, so wonderful, so beyond our normal mortal scope that few can truly appreciate the intellectual mastery of it. This is not one of them. In fact, it's sad that so many actually good ideas and stories get sidelined only for reconstituted grease slop like this to get multi-million dollar movies made for them.

2:13:00. The raven in question is speaking Westron A.K.A. English and is called Roäc. This is not mentioned in the movies, however it is made explicit in the book.

to be fair still a better story then modern 40k atleast its consistently stupid instead of stupidly inconsistent

Gimberberries XD

they have infinite power producing gods trapped in their ship? along with small battery storage efficient enough to make lasers functional weapons ... why are they burning coal? what part of the ship and empire, if you have those two things, still needs coal? does their god eat coal to produce that power? is it a hungry god? i guess that would make coal a more efficient powersource i guess... but im stretching hard here

I have been incapacitated with a bad back for the last couple of days now, and this series has not only kept me thoroughly entertained, but actually made me laugh out loud on many occasions. I cannot tell you how much I’ve appreciated the distraction.

Google "do rocks grow?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Zack feels like one of those jocks from high school that only got interested in nerdy stuff because of the violence and nothing else. Nothing wrong with being that, but those kinda guys don't really have a lot of story ideas swimming around their heads.

Why in gods name did she shoot that guys gun, then run to him instead of just blast him again lol.
