    “I am old now, Frodo. I’m not the same hobbit I once was.” Can’t quite say why, but I love this line. Sadness from entering old age, but with a fond nostalgia for all the adventures he’s had. A life well lived. We all should hope for as much.

    Bilbo Baggins was Ian Holm’s final role before his passing in 2020, and it was a very important role for him to end his career due to his poor health.

      The same could be said for Christopher Lee who played Saruman.
      Both men were too old and weak to travel, and so, special accommodations were made to get their scenes filmed in the UK where they lived rather than New Zealand.

      They could have done better in the way that the extras like the Orcs were played by people in suits rather than being completely computerized. This is why the original trilogy feels more realistic than the Hobbit trilogy when it comes to the orc scenes.

  • @xbrando7
    @xbrando7 Před rokem +137

    I honestly think that this “story time” opening, as well as Galadriel’s prologue in Lord of the Rings, are some of the best parts of the entire film series. They create a sense of child-like wonder and set the mood for the rest of the movie so perfectly (Bilbo’s especially).

  • @vishnu79

    It is worth noting that Thror (Thorin's Grandfather) possessed one of the Seven Rings that Sauron gave the Dwarf-Lords, and was corrupted by it. When Sauron made the Rings, he was ignorant of the nature of the Dwarves, since his master, Morgoth, had had no part in their creation, unlike all other forms of Life which were laid out during the Song of Creation, and thus could not pass that information along to Sauron. So while the Nine Rings were specifically crafted to twist and corrupt the Men who wore them, Sauron could not achieve the same result with the Seven Rings he gave to the Dwarf-Lords.
    The Ring of Thror was imbued with the power to amplify one's natural skills and traits, but this was a double edged sword, as it also amplified one's negative traits as well as the positive ones. The Ring would thus amplify your wisdom, courage, insight, and bravery, but also amplified your greed and cunning equally. In the end, Thror fell to this power, and the Ring passed to Thrain (Thorin's dad) after Thror's death. When Thrain attempted an expedition to Erebor (many years later) Sauron's agents pursued them and Thrain was captured and taken to Dol Guldur. There he was tortured and his mind broken, and Sauron took the last of the Seven Rings from him and left him to die. Gandalf found him there (mostly by accident) and got the map from Thrain and promised to deliver it to Thorin, but Thrain was too maimed and broken, and he died there in the pits.
    At the Council Of Elrond, Gandalf figured that one of the reasons Balin wanted to re-take Moria was to find the Ring of Thror (since most Dwarves thought it had been lost there when Azog killed Thror in Moria) but Gandalf told him he wouldn't find it there, since Thror had given it to Thrain before leaving for his journey to Moria.

      Absolutely. Even the opening hour of the film was perfect just as Bilbo sets off on his adventure with the Dwarves. It does however go downhill from there. Not terribly, but the films could have done without the cliché Azog storyline and the cringe-worthy parts forced into it in order to drag the story out over three films.

    Look as much as this trilogy didn't end up as much of a masterpiece like it's predecessor and i absolutely love the lord of the rings, I very much loved this trilogy aswell and during my late primary school years when the hobbit movies came out and all the way up until my early high school years I was obsessed with this trilogy and I had books on the behind the scenes, I watched the three movies most specifically Unexpected Journey and Battle of the five armies all the time which annoyed my family alot. I know that many lotr fans and Tolkien fans didn't like how the hobbit movies turned out there were a few things I liked about the movies.
    Overall I loved and appreciated the hobbit movies alot they may not be as well written or emotional like Lotr but these movies will always have a special place in my heart.

    You can say what you will about the Hobbit trilogy. Nothing can ever compare to LOTR. It just isn't possible. Hobbit was never going to be as epic as LOTR. But Hobbit is still hundreds of miles better than Rings of Power and probably anything else that anyone else can produce. Love him or hate him, Peter Jackson does justice to Tolkien. I don't think anyone else could've done Hobbit better.
    Tolkien's estate's dissatisfaction with Peter Jackson is irrational and bordering on petty. They should be kissing his feet for basically introducing Tolkien's work to the mainstream audience and to an entirely new generation. Christopher Tolkien was the living stereotype of an bitter, sad ultra fan that doesn't appreciate anything outside of the books his father made. His bias and zealotry towards his father's work wouldn't allow for that. It's not like Jackson completely flipped the script.
    The story and overall theme matches with the books. Some creative agency had to be taken in order to convince the casual viewer about certain characters. The books have a ton of context that explain why certain characters act a certain way and what motivates them. There is no way you can fit all that in to a movie so you have to cut corners and maybe even completely change certain things. A movie is good if it can stand on its own without the context of the book and both LOTR and Hobbit does that. They are both good movies and even better books. And they can both be good at the same time in their own way. It is not mutually exclusive.
    We should all be thankful that someone was talented enough to make Tolkien's work into two different movie trilogies and actually be pretty good. There aren't a lot of franchise that get justice done on the big screen and we are extremely lucky that Jackson did as good as he did.
