Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring
Hope you enjoyed the video! Leave some suggestions on any movies/tv shows you'd like to see me watch!😁
The Lord of the Rings trilogy is one of the biggest books and movies of all time. So when I finally got the chance to watch Fellowship of The Ring for the first time, I had all of the feels.
In this movie reaction, I'll be talking about my thoughts on the movie while immersing myself in the story. So if you're a Lord of the Rings enthusiast, be sure to join me in this movie reaction!

![The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring [2001] Reaction ~ Part 1 | FIRST TIME WATCHING](/img/n.gif)
"Why'd it fall like that?" - I am glad you appreciated this. The team worked forever to get that ring to not bounce, eventually putting a strong magnet in the floor to make it fall like that.
I found it really interesting and it makes the scene even better seeing how they took the time to do so🔥
You definitely need to watch the extended versions of this movies, you missed some awesome scenes and lore pieces, especially if you such fun of Hobbit
Since Hobbits celebrate birthdays by giving presents, rather than receiving presents, surprise partys are not really possible. This birthday is Bilbo's 111th and Frodo's 33rd.
You need to watch the extended editions. You’ll be surprised by what they left out. People will try and say that the extended editions just add meaningless fluff, this is false😂. There’s actually very important scenes that flesh out characters far better. Especially if you love the hobbit trilogy so much, you can’t go wrong with seeing more middle earth.
I think when I had first watched this movie Seen the extended cause I coulda swore this movie was longer lol but I’ll definitely have to watch the extended scenes since I don’t remember much from it and I’ll definitely be watching the other 2 extended🔥
It is well worth watching it several times with the director/writer, cast and technical crew commentaries to understand how they were made. The "making of" videos and also the pictures from the extra DVDs are really something special too, because this is a once-in-a-lifetime production that was a whole production in one go ... as opposed to the Star Wars movies which had significant rewrites and story changes for example ... and the Villeneuve DUNE movies also had breaks between the movie productions.
@@AmariMorris So when are the other two coming? might as well reupload this one when the others come around so you can just edit in your reaction to the extended portions into the re upload of this reaction with a disclaimer in the beginning. believe me, you'll get TONS of new subscribers and comments within days. hert
@@Makkaru112 ahhh I see what you’re saying ok ok. So should I just rewatch the first one but extended version or just watch the scenes that I missed and add those to the reaction and instead of two parts have it all in one?🤔
@@AmariMorris oh! Sorry for missing your reply by so many hours!
You're one if a very few who noticed how heavy the ring was when Bilbo dropped it on the floor before leaving Bag End.
The papers Gandalf was reading were written by Isildur, the one who cut Sauron's fingers off and kept the ring.
Yes this trilogy was filmed in New Zealand. The entire cast was there for 18 months while they filmed all 3 movies at one time. The crew was there even longer.
Saruman let his power over people corrupt him over the years. Then he hooked up with Sauron in his desire for more power and turned completely evil.
That's not the same elf woman from The Hobbit. The one in The Hobbit movies was Tauriel played by a different actress. This is Arwen, the daughter of Elrond, played by Liv Tyler.
That ring definitely had some weight to it lol. And ohhh that makes a lot more sense then golum writing it😂 New Zealand is a gorgeous place and that’s a crazy they filmed them all at once😮 and they done got my guy Saruman 😪 ok ok wait so was the elf that took Frodo to Rivendell on the white horse not Tauriel???
@@AmariMorris No. That wasn't Tauriel. That was Elrond's daughter Arwen who is also Aragorn's love interest. She's also the granddaughter of Galadriel through her mother.
@@toodlescae ohhh ok ok Im trippin I coulda swore it was the same girl from the hobbit lol thanks for the clarification🙏🏾
@@AmariMorris no problem
@@AmariMorris In the book it was a different (male) elf ... but for the movie they had to give Arwen as much screentime as they could squeeze in, because that love story is important and part of Aragorn's history.
It is also Elrond who "makes the river rise" ... not Arwen/that male elf ... "real magic" is quite rare in Middle-Earth and IIRC Elrond had the "water ring", Gandalf had the "fire ring" (given to him by Cirdan the shipbuilder when he first came to this part of Middle-Earth) and Galadriel has the "air ring". Rivendell and Lothlorien were "magical places" ... because their rulers had one of the elven rings. The halls of Legolas' wood elves are rather primitive caves without any magic in comparison [no idea how they showed that in the Hobbit movies ... I stopped watching the second they showed the terrible CGI Radagast and his "racing sleigh in the forest"].
Gandalf be at everywhere. That’s kind of his thing, to wander. For this reason, he is known by several different names, depending on where he is.
Such a mysterious but cool guy fr🧙🏻♂️🧐
Different people know him by different names
“Gandalf gotta be like 200.” 😂😂😂 Add a couple of zeros to that bro.
Oh damn😭 he has been around for a long ass time so makes sense😂
@@AmariMorris Gandalf is one of the Maiar, which are similar to angels, sent to Middle Earth to help the mortal races. If you end up loving the trilogy and are into reading I highly recommend the books. They are truly among the great classics and go much deeper into the details of the world that Tolkien created. I look forward to the next reaction!
@@GenXDaddyO true but I don't think he was necessarily a Wizard until the third age because I don't believe he fought in the War of the last Alliance
@@ippolit4262 Correct, Gandalf was originally a mara spirit named Olorin, so his spirit is as old as the universe itself. But he only entered middle earth and became Gandalf 1000 years into the Third Age, so he's only been in middle earth for about 2000 years.
The other Rings of Power were introduced in the prologue. The beginning of the poem Gandalf chanted at Bag End about the One Ring ("One Ring to Rule them all ...") actually numbers them: "Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky; Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone; Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die; One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne."
There are also the "lesser rings" which are still magic, but not nearly as powerful as the great rings.
You're remembering the battle of Dol Guldur in The Hobbit. The tower where the Hobbits encounter the Nazgul in Fellowship was the Watchtower of Amon Sul, now called Weathertop.
Ahhh yeah that’s the one ok ok🔥
Gandalf is ageless, like an angel. He is only disguised as an old man.
Ahhhh ok ok. Gandalf is a goat🔥
Thanks for this! Great job, I had fun watching with you.
One of my favorite bits is when Bilbo does the whole "like less than half of you half as well as you deserve" thing. You can see the poor Hobbits doing math in their heads, trying to sort out if they've been complimented or insulted...
Ayy preciate you! Thanks for watching and lol that was funny scene, they’re all just so disoriented 😂
THE LORD OF THE RINGS
Three Rings for the Elven-Kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
This is the superscription that begins Tolkien's book. The inscription on the Ring is contained in these lines.
That’s such a good start to a book, makes the ring(s) seem a lot scarier. The beginning of the movie starts with a shorter version of that but woulda been cool to hear the full version.
@@AmariMorris you can hear the full versions from the immersive entertaining lore master videos by the biggest channels by people that are Tolkien scholars in their own right. Literal Oxford professors still teach about him and his many great works. Literally paid to do so and love to do so. He also taught there for many many many years. He’s also a master of linguistics and several other things too. A scholar of the worlds original history that has so much more in common than it doesn’t. He’s also a veteran of World War One and much of his early writing was while in the trenches.
React to the immersive and entertaining lore videos I’ll send via links. Several channels have done this already and they are endlessly floored with each video they watch. Let alone the music made that brings to life the poems and songs that are strewn throughout the 7-plus books
The entirety of all three movies was filmed solely in New Zealand (and has been called a twelve-hour commercial for the country).
Really the perfect place for this series🔥
"The Hobbit" is a children's book of "average pocket book size".
"The Lord of the Rings" is three thick books with loads of appendices.
tl;dr Obviously Frodo's journey will be tougher/bigger/more dangerous than that of Bilbo.
"the hobbit" has about 250 pages,
"LOTR" has about 1250 pages in one volume editions.
New subscribers and LOTR fans from New Zealand 🇳🇿. Great reaction, looking forward to the next and year assessment of the Fellowship
Ayyy shout out New Zealand! I need to go there one day for sure but preciate your support!🙏🏾
Saruman also thought that if he could get hold of the Ring he might be able to defeat Sauron.
Merry and Pippin are cousins, not twins. Merry Brandybuck and Pippin Took, are both misbehaving members of two distinguished families.
They look so similar lol but ok ok preciate all your clarification/insight fr🙏🏾
The document read by Gandalf was written by Isildur, the High King of Arnor and Gondor.
Gandalf is several thousand years old, depending on whether you counting just the time in this form or, since the creation of the world.
MUCH deeper lore version with added details for you: Galadriel's gift to Gimli has deeper meaning behind it, like most things in this movie & reflects the expanded lore of the middle earth universe. Galadriel is one of the 2-3 most powerful & wise elves remaining in Middle Earth since the time the land was young. She was born in a place called Valinor, or the Undying land... which is basically the place of residence of the Valar, the local pantheon, the local "gods" as you may call them. Back then, the world was not illuminated by the sun, the moon. Just the stars & by 2 trees of gold & silver, Telperion and Laurëlin that lit the world before the sun & moon were born from their last flower and fruit as they were basically killed by Melkor. It is said that Galadriel's hair had somehow captured some of the shine of those two trees. Her uncle Fëanor, who was a great king of the Elven people & also arguably their greatest craftsman to ever live, asked/demanded that she give him a lock of hair, so that he could use it to fashion 3 gems that would shine of the same light as the trees. Sensing his pride & a shadow that wasn’t exactly belonging to him brewing from within, she refused his request 3 times. He stopped asking and made the gems anyway, managing to complete the task he had set for himself even without her hair. Around these 3 gems, the possession of which became the driving force for many of the great events in the world, entire wars that lasted for centuries exploded, and other events. The gems actively shaped the fate of the races of middle earth to the point that the aforementioned Valar got involved directly. During these times, events surrounding the gems brought about the traditional enmity between Dwarves and Elves... the same enmity that Gimli still feels towards them. That enmity however does not survive his encounter with the wise Galadriel, whom Gimli basically falls platonically in love with. By giving him 3 of her hair, Galadriel is opening a door, offering an olive branch that might one day close the gap that divides these two races. Legolas, himself being an Elven prince and centuries old, knows of the story through his father Thranduil and grandfather Oropher, as it shaped the lives of all Elves, and his subtle smile is possibly the first act of acknowledgment and reconciliation. it is also a way for Peter Jackson, the director of the film, to give a nod to all of the fans who know these facts and backstories... a way to make us feel seen, and to make us appreciate just how deeply the makers of the film respect the books and larger universe created by Tolkien.
The thing with the hair may seem weird, but there is a significance to it in real life as well as in the lore of the story. In real life, it was not uncommon for wives, fiancés, or even girlfriends to give their men (who were going off to war), a lock of their hair as a keepsake, particularly in WWI, which Tolkien fought in. The lore part of it comes into play in The Silmarillion, Tolkien's tales of the creation of Arda, the Undying Lands of Valinor, and Middle Earth. Galadriel is many, many thousands of years old, & was born in Valinor before the sun & moon were even created. At the time, the world was lit by two trees, one gold and one silver which would shine at different times from each other, but would shine together once a day when one would fade and the other brighten. Galadriel's hair was said to look like the light of the mingled light from the two trees, which may have inspired Feanor, a master craftsman and heir to the high king of the Noldor, to craft the Silmaril's which were three jewels that captured the light of the two trees, one golden light, one silver light, & one co-mingled light. Fëanor had a bit of a thing for Galadriel and begged her for her hair three different times, which she rejected because she could perceive the inner darkness of his heart and rejected him, which made them "un-friends" after that. There is a lot more to the lore than that, so this is the super crib-notes version. But the point is, it was VERY significant that she granted Gimli three of her hairs to a dwarf, when she would not to the son of her king many 10s of thousands of years ago of which she is related to all three kings who were brothers and Elu Thingol of Doriath was one of the brothers that didn’t stay in Valinor even though he was one of the elven ambassadors along with his three brothers and that king I mentioned was VERY close friends with Thingol)
ever wondered how old Galadriel is during the War of the Ring? I have looked in many different sources and depending on where you look, she’s anywhere from 17,000-20,000 years old. 6,000 seems too young as it would make her close in age to Elrond, who I know is much younger than her even though he’s 6000-8000 by the third age, which wouldn’t make sense for her at all even if she was (“690 years older” as some kept repeating on the internet making 6960!)As she was around long before Elrond was even born and time was experience differently to say the LEAST as there is a lot to go into on that subject lol.) She was born during the Years of the Trees & back then the years were something like 9X longer than a solar year so I understand the math is hard, especially since she isn’t given an exact birth year. But it is said that Finarfin, her father, was born in Y.T. 1230, so I would assume she was born sometime within 1000 years of then (being generous).
Basically, I’m wondering what the most accurate range is for her age during the events of Lord of the Rings. I’ll also add that Galadriel is was around before the ents even existed (of which Treebeard is 15,000 years old so she’s OLDER than Treebeard/Fangorn) or very close to when they were “created” by Yavannah and probably had much knowledge to do with such things and or direct knowledge of what happened. Probably through an early prototype of her mirror or simply another dream that made her long for middle earth all over again ontop of the yearning she already had to go there and explore. Nothing to do with Fëanor’s oath and all that jazz.
Just going from the Appendices (and maybe Silmarillion) she would have to be at least 9000+ years older than Elrond, Elrond was born near the end of the First Age, Galadriel was adult before the destruction of the Trees.
Actually, more than that: I just checked, and the Second Age ended in SA 3441. So an elf born literally at the end of the First Age (FA 590) is 3441+3018 = 6459 years old when Frodo leaves for Rivendell. Elrond was born in FA 532, so adds 58 years to get 6517. Elves are mature at 100, so Galadriel adds at leas 632 to Elrond's age, to be at least 7149, and possibly quite a bit more (as attested by other comments.)
One fic had Maglor(Elrond’s Adoptive Father, Maedhros was also adoptive father alongside Maglor, they were the eldest sons of Fëanor) - One fic had as much older than Galadriel; I wondered how we knew, and it was pointed out to me that Maglor was the second oldest son of the first son of Finwë, while Galadriel is the youngest child of the third son of Finwë. So, yeah.
Note that the second age was the LONGEST and again time was experienced very differently back then too aside from the internal clock of elves working very differently, she’s definitely older as far as the world and the other beings that age far faster around her.
I also remind you all that she’s older than the sun and the moon and witnessed and most likely even helped in the Valar’s crafting of the last fruit and flower of the two trees of Valinor. She was the most involved with learning everything possible from them.
She’s 25th generation from Tata one of the elven forefathers to wake to the stars. Their birth was rather shrouded in mist. Only those of her grandfathers ilk have a chance of knowing the origins a bit better as they are closer to that culture that stemmed from the beginning.
The Years of the Trees were the second of the three great time periods in Arda that followed the Years of the Lamps and preceded the Years of the Sun. They were known to be comprised of several Ages and lasted in total around 1500 Valian Years or 14,373 solar years.
Time flowed differently back then and time flowed differently within them too for the elves live as long as the world does. Epic hey?❤❤
The Dúnedain said that Galadriel’s height was two rangar, or "man-high" - some 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm). However, Galadriel's most striking feature was her beautiful long silver-golden hair. The Elves of Tirion said it captured the radiance of the Two Trees Laurelin and Telperion themselves. Galadriel was said to be the tallest female in Middle Earth, at 6'4”. But then Thingol was the tallest elf ever to live, and he's estimated to be almost 9' (274 cm)
Thingol was also a very very prominent figure within the Silmarillion and other books. He’s the great ancestor of Elrond+Arwen and through Aragorn being directly but distantly related to Elronds Twin Brother Elros it makes him loosely connected to Thingol as well. Let’s just say he died a tragic death long long ago. I’m a continent that doesn’t exist anymore. The events I spoke of in my earlier story of Elrond about his fathers deeds, which lead to the Valar helping with putting a Stop to Morgoth for good so to say and that War Of Wrath lasted 80 years straight and it left the landmass torn asunder from the clash of gods and the holy host of Vanyar elves that were closest to the Valar than all other elves so you can imagine what a bunch of mighty elves men and Maiar fighting a bunch of fowl creatures and beings for 80 years would do to a continent. It all fell into the sea. Galadriel barely made it over the mountain before that part of the story officially broke out.
I appreciate you and all these comments😭🙏🏾 putting these in my notes😂 and if you could link the extended versions that would be helpful👀 thanks again fr!!
@@AmariMorris oh. If you have an Instagram or a discord for example; I could send the links. And I could also send you many other cool things to react to !
@@AmariMorris what will you do in the notes? Will we hear about them in the extended re watch? Maybe it’d be nice since by now you might have forgotten a lot since this only was your first time watching. Could make it more meaningful for you to start the rewatch now instead of how some channels lately accidentally watched all three non extended. Lol
@@AmariMorris I have grr extended link that you wanted. where shall I send it?
Gandalf is like 3000 something years old. But that's just as Gandalf. As the unincarnate angel that he is, he is older than the world and Universe itself and infact helped build it. Oh and before Gandalf and Sauron were enemies, they were both choir boys togethor.
Ohhhh interesting ok ok👀 choir boys lol😂
And I also recommend you to watch extended parts from this movies also, because there are few very interesting scenes
I think when I had first watched this movie Seen the extended cause I coulda swore this movie was longer lol but I’ll definitely have to watch the extended scenes since I don’t remember much from it
Actually the dwarves are rather immune to the rings power as when they had the 7 of what was meant to be the 16 elven rings redistributed to them it had no effect on them. Especially due to the fact their forefathers were created by the hands of Aulë who was one of the Valar. And they are not greedy! They are highly noble and strong. Their ancestors could take out dragons. You can go into detail in reactions like moviejoob did. She’s the only one aside from a few channels that’s making it popular and it’s working as hundreds more are falling in love with it all. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
"This came out the year before I was born."
Good lord I'm so old. 🤣
lol I was born when two towers came out!
@@AmariMorrislol... I was 5 years old when Star Wars (the OG) came out!
Actually Merry and Pippin are not twins. Bilbo, Frodo, Merry and Pippin are all related. Frodo, Merry and Pippin are cousins to various degrees and of course Bilbo is Frodo's uncle. Sam is friends with them all, but if you listen he calls them all "Mr." especially Frodo since he and his father (known as the Gaffer) are and were employees of the Baggins family and not of the same social class of Hobbit society. Also generally speaking hobbits live longer than humans until about 100 yrs. and age slower. After their teenage years they are called 'tweens that is "be-tween" 20 and 33 and not considered to be very responsible (a good reason to give Pippin a break). After the age of 33 they are considered to be adults. Tolkien wrote when they started their journey, Frodo is 50, Sam is 38, Merry is 36 and Pippin is 28.
You might consider breaking your reactions into two or even three parts so you don't have to skip through so much good context. I know the movies are pretty long especially the extended editions and copyright issues always seem to be difficult, but if you can see your way to doing this, all of us watching will appreciate your effort. Enjoy the wonderful adventure!
Ohhh ok ok that’s pretty cool to know. Makes sense why they’re all so close and look out for one another. And I didn’t stop to think that aging for hobbits might be different and it’s fire to think about. I’ll def be splitting them into parts cause I do hate having to cut out so much lol but I appreciate your support and fun facts about hobbits🙏🏾🔥
@@AmariMorris IMO for P.Jackson and for many Tolkien fans there was a bit of a problem with too young actor for Frodo's role who in the book is 50 (at Bolbo's b-day party Frodo is 33 but between that scene and the start of the journey was 17 years) but IMO Jackson gave simple but proper solution to this difference - as the Ring is dark magic object and can influence the aging of mortals Frodo who is given the Ring at 33 just stopped aging at this point and so being 50 he still can look like about 20. And we must also add this "canonical" info that becouse 33 for a hobbit is like 18-21 for us, and 130 for a hobbit is like 100 for us, and 100 for a hobbit is like 70 for us, this could mean that 50 year old hobbit should not look as more than 30-35 years old. So in "reality" :) 50 y o Frodo should be looking like 35 y o human and from this point the influence of the Ring made him looking younger. So actualy he looks only 15 years younger than he should not 30 :) The other proper solution to this problem is that we can assume that in the movie there is no 17 years between b-day party and the start of the quest, so Frodo actualy can be about 33 (20 for our eyes) all along the story :)
The Gandalf locked in the Tower bit is explained ONLY in the Unfinished Tales Book: In [manuscript] C The Black Riders arrived at the Gate of Isengard while Gandalf was still a prisoner in the tower. In this account, Saruman, in fear & despair, & perceiving the full horror of service to Mordor, resolved suddenly to yield to Gandalf, & to beg for his pardon & help. Temporizing at the Gate, he admitted that he had Gandalf within, & said that he would go & try to discover what he knew; if that were unavailing, he would deliver Gandalf up to them. Then Saruman hastened to the summit of Orthanc - & found Gandalf gone. Away south against the setting moon he saw a great Eagle flying towards Edoras.
See, the thing is he was always master of studying the enemy & even being able to think like they do to always know exactly the best ways to handle ever situation and so on, but the thing is he didn't just become the enemy, he at this time in a sense for once actually grew afraid of him, probably Sauron did what Sauron did with Finrod Felagund(Galadriel’s elder brother who by the way was very important in the legendarium) which basically widdled Saruman with various visions of the past and future until it wore him down.
Gandalf, as a matter of fact, is much, much older than a mere hundred years. As one of the Maiar, angels if you will, he is actually older than the world, which he took part in creating. At one point in The Two Towers, he admits to having walked Middle-Earth for "three hundred lives of men," which puts him around 10,000 years, but that doesn't count the time he spent elsewhere.
This is crazyyyy🤯 that’s pretty cool tho 🔥
i think it's awesome that you saw The Hobbits movies first so that you get the back story behind these films.
My boy uploaded 🙏🤝🤞
🙏🏾🔥
I try not to do a lot of deep-dive LOTR lore in my comments, but since you asked about who wrote the scroll Gandalf was reading - the one about "the finding of the ring" - that was written by Isildur, the dude who cut the ring from Sauron's hand. He talks about the writing on the ring, "a secret now only fire can tell" (or something like that), which is why Big G. (that's what I call him) chucked the ring in Frodo's fire.
That makes a lot more sense then golum writing it lol and ohhh ok ok big G is a fire name I’m bouta start calling him that now😂

I will legit subscribe if you react to the Rankin Bass version of The Hobbit. Rankin Bass eventually evolved into Studio Ghibli. Yes it was made for children but it has a strong cult following. It is by the way much more true to the story and is a single short (as compared to The Peter Jackson alternative)film.
You might want to turn up the movie audio a bit, because it only really works because you are speaking very very quietly.

Watch the Extended Versions for the next ones! Trust me they cut plot points for the theatrical cut!
Definitely got the extended planned for he next two! Preciate you🙏🏾
I'm sure others have mentioned this, but "The Hobbit" is actually the prequel to "The Lord of the Rings". So, unlike countless others, you're actually watching the films in correct order. The books, which the films are based upon--"The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, written by J.R.R. Tolkien--are incredible reads. Great review! 🙂
I’m glad I viewed them in this order lol I feel like it enhanced my experience with LOTR because of the knowledge I gained from the hobbit! And thank you for watching🙏🏾
Arwen (Liv Tyler) was not in the Hobbit films. Maybe you were thinking of Galadriel (Arwen's grandmother), who is in both trilogies.
Yeah I was a lil confused lol thanks for clarifying tho🙏🏾
"the finest weed" lmao Gandalf blazin
Lmaooo always😂
Great reactions my friend. New sub here. If someone were to ask my opinion I would say watch the extended version for the next two movies. Looking forward to going through it with you
Thank you! Really appreciate it and yeah I’ll definitely be watching the extended for the next two! I realized after the first one that when I had originally watched it way back I did indeed see the extended lol but don’t remember much from it. Hype to see the rest of this trilogy🔥
They will still be in the Shire until they cross the river at Bucklebury Ferry.
3 rings for Elves, 7 for Dwarves, and 9 for Men. These were the Great Rings. There were other, lesser, rings.
Nobody touches the ring without it affecting them. Even getting close, both the ring and the eye can have effect. Only Sauron, Isildur, Gollum, Bilbo, and now Frodo have touched the ring (and at least several others in the books, as many as ten in total from the writing, perhaps more).
That ring is a threat to everyone fr lol
It will be fun watching someone react to the Lord of the Rings that has already seen the Hobbit so you know the backstory going in!
Yeah it definitely enhanced the experience having a little background knowledge and the world before going into this. Especially having a love for characters like Gandalf and bilbo🔥
No, the Elf woman who meets the hobbits and Aragorn is not Galadriel, but Arwen, her grand-daughter.
I think he was confusing her with Tauriel.
@@GeoffTrowbridge it’s always best for people to watch the hobbit after the other main three movies for the continuity we had growing up.
Finally 🤠..
😅🙏🏾
"Gandalf gotta be a hundred years old" Well, a little bit over that, seeing as he was present for the Creation of the Reality and assisted the Highest God in making Middle Earth through song.
Yeah gandalf isn't a human, He's maiar, a lesser deity, and Istari, he takes mortal human form to limit his power, because at full power the maiar and Valar sank continents and decimated middle earth on accident.
Omg that’s crazy to think about. Really puts it into perspective why he was so scared to touch the ring. I already thought that it would be bad if he ended up with the ring but knowing this now makes it ten times more terrifying😭
@@AmariMorris I should also note that Sauron is ALSO a maiar/istari, but not nearly as weakened as Gandalf the Greys human form. And that he's basically actually a sorcerer, so when you saw him take on the first and second waves of the Last Alliance at the beginning of the first movie with armor and a giant mace, that was him NOT USING his REAL strength. His specialty is corruption and necromancy, and the Valar (higher God, but not One Trye God, that's Eru Illuvitar) he served, Melkor/Morgoth is basically Satan. When the Valar and maiar were singing to create reality, they sung only of good and happy things, however Melkor rebelled and sung of evil, and thus evil was brought into the world. Some maiar followed Melkor after this, including Sauron, and including the Balrog that attacks the fellowship in moria (he's called the Balrog of Morgoth). Morgoth/Melkor was Sauron dialed up to 1 million, and Sauron served as his most trusted second in command. The war that Morgoth caused is when the Valar realized they can't fight on Middle Earth without destroying it, so when he was defeated rules were put in place to prevent the Valar/Maiar from doing so much damage again. Sauron was told to return to the lands of the Valar and beg forgiveness, which he almost did, he apologized, but refused to return, instead hiding away on Middle Earth and taking new forms and identities, completly doing a 180 on the redemption he was offered, and instead sought to bring His version if "order" to middle earth, which, you may be able to tell by how Sauron lies and manipulates people into his service, means "everything must serve, or be destroyed." His idea of a perfect middle earth is one where free will is removed, as he sees it as an error. So Sauron is a pretty big deal, far bigger than any other "dark Lord" in other fictions. He's not some old sith Lord who rules for 30 years then dies like Sidius from Star Wars and he's not some edgy ex wizard scared of dying like Voldermort from Harry Potter. This man bore witness to the literal creation of All Evil and chose to side with it, be coming it's right hand, and rather than accepting redemption offered to him by the one true God, instead designed The One Ring, in order to control the Lord's of all the races of middle earth and frame himself as God. And killing him ONLY STALLED him, as his spirit is of course an immortal deity, waiting inside the tower with the Flaming Eye on top, simply waiting for the return of his One Ring to take physical form again. He literally cannot be stopped unless that ring is destroyed by a volcano in his own backyard. It's crazy, the single greatest threat in Middle Earth is essentially a ghost. A dead man. Sauron almost conquers the whole world TWICE while being DEAD.
I m all for ext versions - add so much of relationships and charachter's motives. and humor. and darkness. Explain better the lore. But its nice to watch both versions and compare for our own fun :) my fav ext scene is "farewell to Lorien" so epic and lyrical, with such etheral music and poetic cinematography.
Preciate your comment! And I’m so hype to get into all the extended versions. Fellowship of the ring extended reaction this week!🙏🏾
@@AmariMorris the best way to remember the difference between two versions - theatrical and extended is remembering that the scene with Bilbo searching his room and pockets for the Ring was only in Ext cut. While the dialogue of Frodo and Gandalf riding Gandalf's wagon and speaking about Bilbo is in both versions, in theatrical version we dont see Bilbo searching while they are speaking of him, and in Ext version we see Bilbo's irritated search and hear Frodo's explaining his uncles oddity.
I left a somewhat rude comment yesterday. I was inebriated and apologize. I have no clue why I said it. It didn’t even make sense. 😅
Sorry for that. Great review! Keep up the good work. 👍
No hard feelings.
All good man! Preciate your thoughts and for watching🙏🏾
3:50 they weren’t human, it was elves and numenoreans, like men, but just better.
Ahhh ok ok that makes a lot more sense😂
@@AmariMorris the Númenor story is a vast vast vast history with giant implications from events that even predated it by hundreds and thousands of years RICH with abundant details. lofty themes throughout the ages.
yes, numenorians were like uber-humans and elves were like uber-numenorians :D
It'd be really cool if you create a patreon. Think of KSO or VeggieGamer, they have so many cool and fun things to do with their community of patreon members❤❤❤ better than link tree...
I actually have a patreon right now! You can join here if you'd like patreon.com/amarimorris I'm still currently working on getting recent uploads up but I appreciate any support😁🙏🏾
@@AmariMorris Lovely. I’ll be joining very soon. Can I please give some tips for your patreon to make it more lively and successful?
Feedback is always welcome especially as a creator that’s how I get better! Anything to help the patreon become more lively and a fun place I’m all ears🙏🏾
@@AmariMorris my reply keeps disappearing....
Firstly: All 16 rings were meant to go to the elves (300-500years world of infiltration & deception down to the drain) but Mairon of the Maiar(primordial angelic beings in laments terms as they are sort of beyond angels) disguised as a high elf named Annatar when he came to the elves pretending to be an emissary from Valinor on behalf of the Valar so it makes sense how alluring the ring is and how strong it’s pull on people is. (A bit too instant in the movies though) Galadriel soon saw right through him and especially when after speaking with him regarding not remembering him when in Valinor long ago where she learned from all the Valar thanks to being dominantly Vanyar/Teleri side over her Ñoldorin side where she gleaned from that encounter that she did not study under Aulë the Vala with any elf named Annatar ! But later named Sauron by the elves meaning deceiver! After all of this, The three elven rings were made in secret without Saurons touch upon them thanks to Celebrimbor! Remember Gandalf before he became Gandalf was the same species of entity Sauron used to be!! Wow hey? The Rings, in this case, would have lost their powers eventually due to the lack of the One Ring and possibly because they were designed to defeat evil, and evil, in the form of Sauron, had been defeated. The Three Elven Rings served their purpose for a long time. Two out of three of them had several different bearers Unlike the other Rings, the main purpose of the Three is to "heal and preserve", as when Galadriel used Nenya to preserve her realm of Lothlórien over long periods. The Elves made the Three Rings to try to halt the passage of time, or as Tolkien had Elrond say, "to preserve all things unstained". I can expand upon this based on any further statements & questions you have for me as a reply to this comment ! ❤
There is problem here with the Rings, the Three were supposed to be never touched by Sauron and that's why they were not corrupting…Sauron had not taken part in their making which made the Three more 'pure' unsullied by his dark power, unlike the Nine and Seven Rings! But Sauron in the show touched the very material they were made of!!! So technically he could have tainted them and corrupted!
Even appendices of Lot tell us the order of making the rings, so they didn't even need the righs to more detailed writings in UT or Silmarillion:
1200
Sauron endeavours to seduce the Eldar. Gil-galad refuses to treat with him; but the smiths of Eregion are won over. The Númenoreans begin to make permanent havens.
c. 1500
The Elven-smiths instructed by
Sauron reach the height of their skill.
They begin the forging of the Rings of Power.
c. 1590
The Three Rings are completed in Eregion.
c. 1600
Sauron forges the One Ring in
Orodruin. He completes the Barad-dûr. Celebrimbor perceives the designs of Sauron.
1693
War of the Elves & Sauron begins.
The Three Rings are hidden."
'Did you not hear me, Gloin?' said Elrond. 'The Three were not made by Sauron, nor did he ever touch them.
But of them it is not permitted to speak. So much only in this hour of doubt I may now say. They are not idle. But they were not made as weapons of war or conquest: that is not their power. Those who made them did not desire strength or domination or hoarded wealth, but understanding, making, and healing, to preserve all things unstained.
These things the Elves of Middle-earth have in some measure gained, though with sorrow. But all that has been wrought by those who wield the Three will turn to their undoing, and their minds and hearts will become revealed to Sauron, if he regains the One."
The One Ring’s power over people explained here:As for the rings given to these groups:They were all meant to go to the elves but Mairon of the Maiar disguised as a high elf named Annatar when he came to the elves pretending to be an emissary from Valinor on behalf of the Valar so it makes sense how alluring the ring is and how strong it’s pull on people is.

Sorry, but how do you watch a whole movie like this with just the one earphone in? Don't you know you're missing half the audio experience? Baffles me.
Yeah I gotta get some headphones😅 it’s usually just cause I like to hear myself but ima start putting both earbuds in to get the full experience lol🙏🏾
By the way, "Sauron" is pronounced "Sow-ron."
Gotta question your taste if you really think the hobbit movies are quality films because they ruin the book so bad in the Hobbit honestly it's unbearable how bad they milked it just for the cash. You should read The Hobbit for better lore and context! I would get liking them if you hadn't read the book but they're so bad if you read the book unlike Lord of the Rings lol
Damnnn I feel like that happens a lot with books translated into movies/shows. Hate to see it cause I love the whole world so I’ll definitely have to look into reading the books😂
@@AmariMorris bro if you did a live reading of the hobbit I would totally absolutely jump on board !!! I think it's a brilliant idea I would love your commentary! But also no worries man I get it though it's pretty difficult to judge the hobbit trilogy without the proper context
I actually like that idea a lot ngl cause I’m always down to get deeper I to the world of the hobbit/LOTR and the books are a great way to do that. Sometime in the future when I finish the LOTR trilogy I could live react to the books🤔
@@AmariMorris yes sir LFG!!! There is a lot in Lord of the Rings as well that will blow your mind during the read! I can't wait!!
@@AmariMorris if anything I would make a video for every two to three chapters make sure or what not because it's just not feasible to read even one novel in a single sit! Can't wait for the saga!!
Yayyyyyyy you watched the theatrical. You made the right choice.
Ayy let’s goooo🙏🏾
Yes the theatrical version is so much better than the extended version...I mean who needs to see the other half of the movie...are you an idiot?
@@AmariMorris Hey bro hint of advice. Continue watching the theatrical versions for the next 2 movies. They leave out all the fluff and bloated crap the extendeds ruin the trilogy with.
@@AmariMorris I already wrote this in comment section, but I disagree, you should watch the extended versions, which includes so many amazing and interesting scenes, some of them includes very important information about characters and the world and even death scene of one of main characters of the trilogy, so you should watch it, especially if you consider yourself as fun of the Hobbit
Definitely thinking of watching the extended versions for the next two
