Thank God Nicholas Cage turned down the role of Aragorn.
Amen brother amen!
+Raven Moriarty Thank God Peter Jackson went with Sean Bean for Boromir, instead of Bruce Willis.
Spatharios Omg I had no idea thank God twofold.
Probably the only good decision he has ever made.
+Spatharios
holy shit imagine Nicholas Cage and Bruce Willis as Aranorn and Boromir hahaha
THE NAZGUL AHHH NOT THE NAZGULLLL
Take 12 hours to watch the entire Director's Cut trilogy back-to-back? It's an annual tradition in my household
+Sam Geuvenen you or your parents parent right.
I do that too. I have a 15 disc bluray extended cut and I watch that shit at least once a yr. with special commentary too and the behind the scenes stuff. it's always so entertaining
I need to do that sometime. Sadly of course the mother of the house doesn't like it :P
Diddo
in mine also
I prefer The Lord of The Rings trilogy over the Marvel Cinematic Universe
and i prefer got first 6 seasons over Lord of the rings
I love the MCU but i totally agree with you. This is totally epic
Anthony Tucay thank you
PREACH
@@hiddendagger7291what's got?
The most perfectly cast movie of all time
+Meatwood Flac The Expendables has the best movie cast of all time, but that's just my opion.
+Brock Allen If opinions could be wrong, yours would be one of it
+ethan2209 Your opinion.
i think its xmen
+Brock Allen expendables is one of the worst movies of all time? How could you compare these 2 movies
"YOU, SHALL NOT, PASS!!!!" (staff slams ground). Honestly one of the best scenes in movie history.
+Mark Sullivan The lobby shootout in The Matrix and the chase scene in The Bourne Identity are the greatest action movie scenes.
Brock Allen Neither even come close, even though they're both great.
Brock, the Bridge of Khazad Dum is literally the birth of fantasy fiction as you know it, have some respect :'D
*MY TITS ARE MOVIE HISTORY.*
@@brockallen436 ronin is a better chase scene
There are multiple moments in the Trilogy that I can look back on to make myself spontaneously cry.
What other movies can do that
dagdamor1 I CAN CARRY YOU!
In that case you could definitely be a hobbit
Arise, arise, Riders of Theoden!
Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!
Spear shall be shaken shield be splintered,
A sword day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride, ride to ruin and the world's ending!
DEATH! DEATH!
dagdamor1 Star Wars maybe
Jon Arnall I cry watching great classics
It's honestly difficult for me to believe there are humans out there who hasn't seen Lord of the Rings.
+Dr Famine its difficult for me to believe some people dont like it, they call it "boring" ... dear lord....
+Guitarheadleo Cause there no esplosions and hot chicks and esplosions and bewbs and a crap ton of effects and esplosions. Did I mention esplosions cause it needed more esplosions.
Yesss... And You forgot slow motion and explosions along with explosions
***** Of coarse, how could I forget the super-epic-slo-mo. Thanks for reminding me :)
I haven't watched it, but I'm reading the book.
"Hobbits... they're not really exciting people, they just want to: Drink, smoke weed and Eat. That is a Hobbits life... that's right, drama free, fun loving people." JRR Tolkien should have used that in his, "Concerning Hobbits" introduction.
10/10 I would've liked that
+Mark Devlin I'm surprised to see you hear King in the North.
They're not lazy in the books. They work as well.
Lord of the Rings is simply an amazing experience.
I would have followed you my brother...my captain...my king
They will look for his coming at the White Tower... But he will not return.
@@baileydeverell1175 but he shall live on through Faramir
Boromir is one of the best characters in the whole trilogy
@@kurtcobain5466 the thing is i dont event think there are any bad characters
@@muchamore321 damn straight
Definitely my favourite trilogy.
Wtf?..
NO. It´s the BEST trilogy
Jim Pula Nah other way
*Everyone's* favorite trilogy
what about the batman Nolan trilogy?
LORD OF THE RINGS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER.
Lord Of The rings isn't one movie. It's three.
pffffffffffffffff geez dude, you know what i mean.
***** Yep, and if you aren't doing the Extended Edition Blu-Ray versions you aren't doing it right.
***** I find the extended scenes just very intriguing, but i get why you'd say that. I've read all the books so i know enough .
As a reader of the books too, I love the extra scenes in the extended edition because many of them are right out of the novels!
"They're like the wraith version of the Terminator, but there are NINE of them."
:D
I keep watching peoples reviews on these films and noticed nobody ever talks about Sir Christopher Lee, his talent or character in these films. He plays an important part in these films and I'm wondering if people actually know who he was as an actor. Just recently he passed away and I also noticed not many movie reviewers paid tribute to him. He was on stage and screen more than any actor and was well known for playing villains. It would be kind of nice to see people who have love for movies show respect to one of the greatest actors that ever lived. For all great actors. Just wanted to point that out.
Robert Perez I really miss that Guy, he did such a great job as Saruman!
+Robert Perez Surprised me that his death wasn't a big impact but the man lived a hell of a life, thats for sure.
+Robert Perez an awesome villain, a maker of my favorite villainous force(the uruk hais), and for that i will forever be grateful. I still don't really know though, was he forced by Sauron or did he want to do it?
Filip Orvik he wanted to eventually usurp Sauron
@@filiporvik2782 Yeah, in the books he made a separate ring of his own that wasn't controlled by Saruman and became the Wizard of many colors. Technically like a grey anarchy sided Jedi.
Best trilogy of all time
Actually, best thing ever created
pretty sure tv's were the best thing created
+soothjaw well, the best thing to ever be shown on a tv
+Joseph Avi yes!
+Joseph Avi I can second that
I agree
Fellowship of the Ring - Awesometacular
The Two Towers - Awesometacular
Return of the King - Awesometacular
An Unexpected Journey - Worth buying on Blue-ray
The Desolation of Smaug - Wroth buying on Blue-rey
The Battle of the five Armies - Good time, no alcohol required
Great to see someone who didn't unfairly judge the hobbit movies by comparing them to lord of the rings
Mine MLG I was just being honest. I really like them so I gave them those scores.
Is it blasphemous that I like all of the Middle-Earth movies that act as one giant story?
I actually would put Fellowship somewhere among the top 10 films ever made. It's almost flawless, but at the other end of the spectrum it is perhaps the most indestructible demonstration of cinematic craftsmanship to be put on film. It's like a Rush song. It starts off as a fantasy epic with the prologue, beginning its endless world-building spree, which then turns into a horror-chase movie, which then takes more time to breathe and establish lovable characters, which then becomes a team-up adventure movie, which then becomes a last stand "escape the death star" type movie (with extortionate threat and pathos, and two wicked boss battles and a massive character death), which then takes more time for emotional relief (because Jackson knows what he's doing, people) and to set up things for future instalments and further establish Middle Earth itself as a character to love and fear for, followed by a white knuckle ride into a heartwrenching climax that sees key characters realise beautiful arcs and the adventures to come set up perfectly. It's 6 movies in one, with 7 big bosses (Sauron, Nazgul, Saruman, Watcher In The Water, Cave Troll, Balrog, Lurtz) and such inventive action interspersed with timely and necessary moments for respite and character-building. The acting is spot on. The writing is wonderful, with so many beautiful lines of dialogue, and the sprawling text masterfully forged into a compelling narrative. It's such a densely detailed yet beautifully simple film. Very few things come close to the scale and vision, nor to the astonishing directing prowess displayed by Jackson's greatest moment. It's astonishing.
And I don't need to say "It's only my opinion". I have reasons beyond personal taste to call this film one of the greatest of all time.
Best movie ever. Watched all 3 movies about 20 times. Read all the Tolkien books. I love it all.
Greatest movie trilogy of all time
Worse than Jaws 3 more like.
Tom Evans that's very unbiased
taine warren And corruted by power one can't use.
@@SovereignStatesman shut the fuck up big dick
lotr is one of best fantasy movie and it's more then fantasy
Tom Evans you’re so dumb. it won 17 oscars dumbass
I don't think jahns ages. I think he's immortal, possibly an elf.
Well, he is pretty pale. So I think he is a Nazgul.
This comment has certainly aged like a fine wine.
Best story of all time. Best books of all time. Best MOVIES of ALL TIME!!!!!!! Every single aspect of it is just amazingly perfect.
I agree with every statement
Completely agree.
I love the movies. However, I personally didn't much care for the books.
*cough* Berserk *cough*
Kristian Nojd the movies are meh books are great
The CGI on the Barlog was amazing!! Looked so real!
Fellowship of the Ring is probably my favourite movie of all time. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the whole trilogy, but Fellowship for me is hands down not only the best LOTR movie, but one of the best movies ever made. EVER. No other movie in the trilogy, at least in my opinion, truly immerses you into this fantasy world as perfectly and completely as Fellowship. It is the only one I watch regularly, and I'm always amazed by the feeling it leaves me with after it's over. It's sad, beautiful, intimate and mesmerizing, often all at the same time. Truly one of the greats.
Elwood Blues Yes. Fellowship is my favorite of the trilogy and one of favorite films. It is incredible.
Elwood Blues I know but the others are awesome.
It's my favorite too. Two towers was slow at times and focused a lot on the human civilization so not a lot of fantasy. Rotk comes close but the fantasy elements are more mysterious in the first one
Yep, ditto
steveninthe DUDE I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THAT
Lord of the Rings is fuckin epic because there are constant epic scenes every 5 minutes or something.
True that... ;-)
LOTR is 10 hour and count of epicness, every now and then with some minutes of breathing pauses
Pierluigi Di Pietro More like 12 hours. If you haven't seen the extended editions, your life is not complete. Every second of these films is magical.
ACR You’re prolly just a kid only appreciates only battle scenes and fight scenes as opposed to intricate cinematography and beautiful imagery paired with wonderful music. Smh at people like you...
ACR you’re so dumb if you believe that
Literally every thing from the dialog, music, camera angles, fight screens and just everything is so perfect! Every scene is like a slam dunk
Watching LotR is a Christmas tradition for my family.
Without Sam, Frodo would have never made it. I never really see much appreciation for Sam, but I like Sam. My favourite quote is when he's saying his speech and I just love the line "That there's some good in this world Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for" :)
Tolkien also said that Sam was the main character, and he's also the last ringbearer. :)
'I can't carry it for you Mr. Frodo, but I can carry you!' Shivers
Hugo Joubert It still goes down the spine. It just tickles. Sam is the Chief Hero of the story. Tolkien even said so.
for Frodo
Without Gollum the ring would've never been destroyed
One of my fondest movie memories is my mother, a Tolkien fanatic since the 60's, walking out of the theater with a dazed look in her eyes. They proceeding to hold court on Middle Earth history once we got home, for about an hour! While our house guests looked on in amusement and admiration. She later told me it took her a week to figure out whether or not it worked for her. It's now the one DVD series (extended edition), I can put on to watch during dinner and she still all but ~squees~! Thank you, Peter Jackson, for making her dream come true.
The greatest trilogy of all time hands down. Nothing will ever surpass it.
JRR Tolkien is legendary on so many landscapes and Peter Jackson helped with the legacy of Tolkien The Books and Movies of The Lord Of The Rings are worth going through again and again.
Just yesterday watched this movie for the first time I had never watched a Hobbit or LOTR movie but wtf have I been doing ? OMG it was so so epic I am just so hyped about The Two Twers and The Return of the King let's hope they will be this good too.
: )
They're even better :) The third one is the most epic movie ever created.
ahah u just came out of a cave or something? xD
finally finished watching the 3rd one and my God is it epic unbelievably great and to me The Return of the King stands as my 2nd best movie of all time behind The Dark Knight ofc
Gent M They are that my friend if you look in the dictionary at the definition epic you will see "the lord of the rings trilogy"
Fellowship of the Ring is by far the BEST LOTR film. The entire Moria sequence, from entrance to exit, is one of the best collection of scenes in cinematic history.
That being said, Return of the King is my FAVORITE LOTR film. Best and favorite, for me, are two completely different things.
Best is return of the king
The fellowship of the Ring-Awesometacular
The Two Towers-Awesometacular
The Return of the King-Awesometacular
The Unexpected journey-worth buying on Blu-ray
The Desolation of Smaug-Worth buying on Blu-ray
The Battle of the Five armies- a good time no aucahal required.
Alcohol* But yeah, I agree.
I can't wrap my head around how people cannot like this movie... A lot of the kids my age (14-15) think this movie is super boring. Maybe I just wasn't made for this generation of kids.
It's made for all generations of time
I'm 15 and I love this movie, so have faith! :D
Long live Frodo and yes, that pun was intended
I'm 15 and LOTR is my favorite movie/trilogy. But there are a lot of people my age too who don't like LOTR. ;(
I'm 15 as well and this series is my all time favourite however most of the people I know won't even bother to watch it, although 99% of my friends love it :)
I just saw The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and I have to say; "How the FUCK have I not seen this movie for so damn long!?!?" This movie is simply amazing, it should go down as one of the greatest movies ever made! The plot is brilliant, the dialogue is fantastic, the acting is incredible and very commendable, the music is absolutely beautiful and wonderful to listen to, I love the characters, I love the lore, I admire the CGI and the epic scale, it is just unbe-fucking-lievable! I would give it a 9.7/10. The only reason I didn't give this a 10/10 is because I thought there were a few questionable moments in the movie, but those a very few and far between. This shouldn't be considered an opinion, it should be considered fact, anyone who hates this movie need to wipe the shit out of their eyes and do not deserve a negative opinion. This movie is fucking amazing!
lord of the rings is just a trilogy masterpiece
This trilogy hit perfection. Best movies ever created period.
Love these movies so much. Lol. For me the only versions that I can watch anymore are the extended editions. They just bring so much more by way of storytelling and additional plot information that really make me love and appreciate the pure talent for film making that Peter Jackson has. Plus those extended editions work together to make my all time favorite book to film adaptations. Brava Peter Jackson. Brava.
Here we are in 2020 and still they’re the greatest movies ever.
Now the Hobbit has flown by as well.
Anyone excited for Amazons second age series?
Yup! Favourite trilogy is LOTR, so I am beyond hype for the amazon series
just hope they don't fuck up
Fellowship of the Ring: 10/10
Two Towers: 10/10
Return of the King: 10/10
The Hobbit an Unexpected Journey: 6/10
Desolation of Smaug: 7.5/10
Battle of the Five Armies: 6.5/10
Rick Dinson Perfect. My exact thoughts on the series.
Rick Dinson yup. it'll never happen ago.
+Rick Dinson would give Unexpected Journey higher than Five Armies, since Five Armies was essentially just throwing one gigantic piece of CGI crap at the audience until their faces couldn't feel anything anymore.
No
+Rick Dinson I think that An Unexpected Journey was the best in the three. Battle of the Five Armies was pretty shitty.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who gets so emotional over these movies... I think you nailed it when you said they're an EXPERIENCE. It's hard to explain, they're just awesome! XD
5:03 I think Jeremy would like Prince Zuko.
does watching it 34 times count as loving it ?
AND THE SILMARILLION!
***** did ... read the books 2 times .. the hobbit 10 :D
There were so many technical and artistic improvements in this trilogy that it's left a mark on film history and our hearts.
So Jon Snow is based on Aaragorn !!
LOTR 10/10
The Hobbit 7/10
Will James Hobbit. 6.5/10
Walter Kovacks Nah thats a bit harsh, they have faults but so does every movie
Will James I only give them that because they have no character development for characters that were in the book, (i.e. the Dwarves and Beorn) and yet invent unnecessary character's that are pointless.
Also a 6.5/10 is an okay movie. That's what the Hobbit movies are. Okay.
Walter Kovacks No character development, Thorin and Blibo are the main characters and we get lots of screen time with both throughout the whole trilogy. We also get lots of screen time with other important characters such as Gandalf, Bard, Balin, Filli and Killi. The rest such as the other dwarfs aren't as important so they are rightly sidelined.
Will James Thorin was done well, and giving Bard more character was a good idea, though the whole, lake town politics scenes in Desolation of Smaug were stupid and pointless. Bilbo did have good character in the first Hobbit movie, but in DoS and Battle he got sidelined a lot. He was still important, but he wasn't really the main character.
Sidelining the dwarves makes sense if you are only making one Hobbit movie. But at the end of three, three hour long movies, we should know all the Dwarves characters and personalities really well. We should care about each of them, and not just Thorin, Balin and FIili. Think about this. At the end of Fellowship, we knew all the 9 members really well. We new their characters and cared about them. The same should be for the Dwarves. Also, if you are going to sideline them fine, but don't add on characters like Legolas or Tauriel and Alfrid, (who actually got more screen time than Gandalf in Hobbit 3) and not even give half of the Dwarves a line.
Also, THEY STILL RUINED BEORN! AWESOME CHARACTER IN THE BOOK GIVEN A CAMEO! MAKES ME SO MAD! FUCK YOU PETER JACKSON!
Fun fact: Gandalf and the Balrog are of the same race.
Uncertain Title yup they are both istari
The Silmarillion made LoTR ten times more fascinating. Every time I read the books or watch the movies I catch snippets of phrases that make me say, "Hey! I know that! That's that one thing!"
Sauron, Gandalf and the Balrog are all Istari (Basically, angels) and when an Istari goes bad, they lose their ability to change form. Sauron was stuck as a "Dark Lord" figure, and the Balrog kept its menacing form. Gandalf and the other wizards were all Istari sent to Middle-Earth to fight Sauron, since there was no way the elves and humans could fight him alone.
As in, why is he the only Istari fighting them?
Okay, so "Istari" describe the wizards. The name of their race is "Maiar". Just had to clarify that real quick.
And angels don't change form when they go bad; they slowly lose power. Changing form is one of their powers. So while Saruman was in human form, he couldn't change back. By the end of the book, Saruman pretty much has lost all of his power entirely.
Its one of the few movie that is on par or beats the books in sheer awesomeness.
Percy jacks...Oh wait no. Oh dear God no not that.
The Godfather part 1 and 2 r far superior to the book, to kill a mockingbird , The Shawshank Redemption , fight club , the geen mile , Psycho and 2001 a space odyssey r the few of a very select category that r superior or on par with the book just like the Lord of the rings
Garrettontheweb the books are indeed awesome
Channel Blaino Jaws is superior to the book to most.
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is the greatest cinematic achievement in history. There have been better movies (not many), but the scope and grandeur of these films has not been equaled, ever.
Which movies are better?
I think it depends on my mood. Right now I can't think of any!
Gandalf's death is how I want to die
Falling down a massive cliff while stabbing a huge flaming, horned demon to death would honestly be the greatest death in history.
COYG FA cup champions 2014.
:)
naw bruh. Bormir's death was some manly shit.
Alexander Trivel he did die, but he came back as gandalf the white.
Greatest film series of all time
I agree
damn right you agree
I don't know if I am the only one but The ending of return of the king is the only film that has made me cry and this is coming from a person which the ending of Marley and Me caused no effect on my feelings.
Cor Tadew everyone cries at the end of Return of the King
I also love star wars and harry potters but nothing compares to LOTR. This series will forever be one of the greatest movie trilogies in existence
I think Jeremy re-reviews movies sometimes and if so this would be a great series to do now that the 4k versions are finally out. He could even do the extended versions so it's slightly different and can add more thoughts.
I just finished the first one and it was even better than I remembered. Amazing movies.

jack newton same
Finally! Someone who likes both the hobbit and lord of the rings movies :)
Nice throwback lore to your friendship with Adam.
So believe it or not I've never seen the movies before. My theater is having a flashback movie and they showed this movie the extended cut and I got to watch it for the first ever in theaters and wow I loved it. Better late than never lol
I’m glad that the first time you watched the movie was on the big screen! Saw all of them back in the early 2000’s in the theater opening night. It was amazing.
7:28 "it's like vagina of Middle Earth" I just died there haha
"Hobbits ... just want to drink, smoke weed and eat"
I think I'm a Hobbit.
I love how your videos have both changed a lot and literally not changed at all
The ring is like the vagina of middle earth!! That had me pissing myself laughing. Absolute joker!!
I've seen these movies way too many times. You did an amazing job with this review. Hands down, LOTR is the best, most epic series of books and movies out there to this day.
I really liked the eerie feel of the movie from the flight from the Shire to the arrival at Rivendell. Jackson did a good feeling of making the pursuit of the Nazgul a creepy and haunting experience. I wish they could have spent more time in that but the movie was overly long as it is.
I started watching Jeremy in 2020. I was on the fence about his reviews, then I found this awesome one.
Why is this video in my recommended?! It’s 7 y old. And omg, Jeremy, I didn’t recognize you at first!
first time i watched lord ofthe rings was a great experience for me.
The Fellowship of the Ring is by far my favorite movie of all time. It's 3 hours long and I have still seen way, waaaay many more times than any other movie.
You were great in American pie
By far my favorite movie of all time.
I think it should be a crime to have not seen this trilogy, punishable by forcible making the person watch these films
"It's like the virgina of Middle-earth." 😂😂
Wow! Young Jeremy Jahns! Still as good as now. I love how you’ve refined your style.
We watch the extended edition every summer in my family. This year, our local theater shows classic movies (since there are no new movies) and they will be screening the extended edition, one movie every week. Just came out of fellowship. It was amazing
Awesome Review!!
Before I see Rise of Skywalker.... I watched The Lord of the Rings...to see how a Trilogy is done Correctly!!
Its the best film of all time period...I have watched the whole trilogy more than 27 times...
I love Elrond and Hugo Weaving, but when I found out that David Bowie also wanted to be, i had to wonder what the movie would have been like with the goblin king
Love your channel man can you review the extended editions please don't see many of thoses reviews around love to know your thoughts on them
The Lord Of The Rings The Fellowship Of The Ring - 10/10
The Lord Of The Rings The Two Towers - 10/10
The Lord Of The Rings The Return Of The King - 10/10
The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey - 7/10
The Hobbit The Desolation Of Smaug - 6/10
The Hobbit The Battle Of The Five Armies 5/10
There are two types of people in this world: those who appreciate the epic ness of lord of the rings and those incapable of doing so
19 years later and Lord of the Rings STILL holds up
of all the rivewers iv seen on you tube you are arguably the best this is awesome content and ill tell all my friends about it
Can we talk about how funny he used to look... 😂😂😂
So rings of power is coming out in 2022 so I thought I'd watch your review because I myself have gone back and started watching the trilogy again in 2022
I like how the extended editions doesn't feel longer, just throwing in some nice tidbits and a few cool scenes. I really liked seeing Sam and Frodo watching the Elves at the start of the journey.
Anyone here from the 4k Extended release at Theaters june 8,2024? beautifully captivating with story,characters,visuals,soundtracks
Cheers Jeremy great review
Holy shit, after watching this trailer I realized that the ring was kind of like Sauron's horcrux. I wonder if that's accidental or if JKR was inspired by JRRT.
I love Lord of teh Rings, I have all three extended editions and I watch them all the time when I can. I have almost every soundtrack as well. The only soundtrack I don't have by Howard Shore is battle of the five armies. I wasn't too fond of the soundtrack, but I do have the ending credits song, that brings me to tears like, every time I listen to it. Thanks for all the reviews and work you put into them! They are really great and I really enjoy watching them. I've gone on like a spree of watching them the past few days.
It's been over a year since I've seen this movie, and you just talking about it reminded me how good it was. So I'm going to watch it right now and I'm gonna love it!!!
The Fellowship is the best. The others are just "trying" to be as good.
Then came the Hobbit series...what a downfall.
Finally someone understands it, but I did love Return of the King though, the epicness, the sacrifice, the conclusion and the amazingly well wrapped-up ending was great
I genuinely disagree. The Two Towers is the best. It's a fantastic blend of fantasy and war. The stakes are really mounting. Saruman is coming into his own. The urgency and tone of Towers is unmatched.
Merry and Pippin are no longer dead weight liabilities and finally play a significant role in the story, tricking Tree Beard into dropping them off at Isengaard, knowing that only when he sees the waist lands will he go to war.
Themes of death and mortality and genocide are also explored and the battle at Helms Deep is incredible, big but not so big as to lose its sense of intimacy. The perfect battle. Towers also feels, by far, the most real and grounded out of the three. Castles, villages, etc. all real and on location.
AND I haven't even mentioned the interplay between Frodo, Gollum and Sam. And then Faramir later on and whether his loyalties are with Frodo and his quest or with his father Denethor. Just so much going on.
Fellowship is great but at the end of the day it's just a very beautiful ABC road trip with dope skirmishes. Towers hits the ground running and the plot becomes much more complex and interesting and Shakespearian.
Jesse Rochon Holy crap someone else who likes Two Towers as much as I do.
It's objectively the strongest of the 3 movies. A phenomenal movie.
Favorite Trilogies 1.Lord of the Rings trilogy 2.The Dark Knight trilogy 3.Back to the Future trilogy 4.Indiana Jones trilogy
Favorite Movies 1.Memento 2.Pan's Labyrinth 3.Fight Club 4.Pulp Fiction 5. Saving Private Ryan 6.Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind .........................Etc.
What about Star Wars? (the OT, of course)
Yep almost forgot that! The prequel trilogy sucks ass though
THE GODFATHER TOO!!!!! Wtf!!
Godfather 3 was bad so it is not a good trilogy. But if you count the first two it is definitely an awesome dilogy. So it doesn't qualify. :(
Arvind Rama well the 3rd one was enjoyable as hell you gotta admit.
Here's a detail for you when the fellowship enter Moria and find Balin's tomb, Ori's skeleton is leaning against the tomb still clutching his book. Ori-(one if the dwarfs in the hobbit).
Those last few minutes, I was near tears just nodding with a stupid smile on my face. You're so passionate about the trilogy. I love you, you nerd!
I get that phase every few months where I just watch the movies and feel so much regret for neglecting them. Best trilogy ever! The music totally makes me tear up. Especially the hobbit theme, Concerning Hobbits, I just feel so happy when I hear that.
loved your review. LOTR forever.

I watch this every year while wrapping xmas gifts. Just finished 2021 now.
2022 now.
My ratings of the extended editions:
Fellowship of the Ring - Awesometacular
The Two Towers - Awesometacular
Return of the King - Awesometacular
An Unexpected Journey - Awesometacular
Desolation of Smaug - Worth Buying on Blu-ray
Battle of the Five Armies - Worth Buying on Blu-ray
BTW, I thought the theatrical cut of Battle of the Five Armies was just bland, but the extended version was hard to get into, but the last hour and a half of it was great and was basically an hour and a half of the barrel scene from Desolation of Smaug.
Jeremy: can’t wait to see that in the hobbit, it’s gonna be bad ass
10 years later:
the hobbit trilogy was an unexpected disappointment...😭💔
Disagree, I think the hobbits are pretty damn good. They’re a bit bloated and rely a bit too much in CGI, but incredibly entertaining.
Jeremy agrees with me, too.
@@iambuhlockay8007 Oh ok...they're bloody awful and about as far away from what Tolkein was trying to say as you can get. And please don't mention the CGI and the slapstick jokes...uggh
i never saw any lord of the rings movies until after i saw the hobbit and unexpected journey i was like holy shiit im watching lotri and got all 3 for christmas last year and watched them the whole day :3 i remember when they were showing the trailer for the two towers when i was young and i wanted to see it soo bad but then i lost interest lol i regret not seeing these movies years ago i should of >.
Watched this review of Jeremy’s in 2020 bc I recently rewatched the 4 hour extended versions of the LOTR trilogy. Wanted to appreciate how I feel the exact same way about the greatness of this movie even after all these years.
Fun fact: when Gandalf and Balrog fall like thousands of feet in to the lake there is some freaky shit down there. Even gandalf said "there are more foul things than orcs in the deep" that wasn't mend for Balrog alone because Balrog which you say "tip of the iceberg". Dwarfs wore SO greedy that they dug up hell itself.
