Hey everyone! Hopefully, this version of my reaction is able to stay up. If not, I will keep on trying 😊
Love your reacts!!
When are you going to watch “Aliens”? I think you will enjoy it a lot. It’s one of the best sequels EVER. I, personally, would stop after that one but that’s up to you. I absolutely HATED the third film, for reasons that I won’t mention here.
Ooh! I see you put “Aliens” up. Thank you.👍🏾🫵🏾
It is significant that Boromir was supportive of Faramir.
The rope causes Gollum pain because it is a creation of the elves (light) and Gollum is heavily tainted by the Ring a creation of Sauron (darkness). Most people dont realize there is an actual reason in the lore for it. Same reason he spits out elven food .
yes but in the same time its not really important knowing about light and darkness, its enouth that Gollum seems to be hurt by elvish rope and food
@@Ciffer-1998 Lots of people I know have interpreted the movie version of Gollum as just being picky about food and being manipulative to try to get out of the rope. The explanation helps to dispel those false assumptions, showing that he's physically affected by the Lembas Bread and rope.
@@Real_LiamOBryanthank you, it definitely matters.
In the books pipe weed is definitely meant to be a form of tobacco. The author of the stories was very fond of smoking tobacco with a pipe. But when the books were very popular with the hippie culture some people began to associate the pipe weed more with marijuana. And Peter Jackson definitely leaned into that interpretation for these films.
What's fascinating is WHY he called tobacco pipe weed in the novels. As the languages of Middle Earth are based on European languages, there would be no word for tobacco, which is a Native American word, as tobacco comes from America. Since Tolkien was a linguist, it was important to him that all language use in the books made perfect sense, and to add a word from outside Europe would have gone entirely against his sensibilities.
42:55 LotR fans are generally good at avoiding spoilers because we love to see new people discovering such great movies. So I can imagine commenters saying something innocent-sounding like "Gandalf did die" after movie #1 to keep the surprise real for movie #2. And it is true. Gandalf the Grey does die fighting the Balrog. In very simple terms, he is basically an Angel sent back from death by the gods to fight true evil. Which is why he doesn't use his magic to win wars against mundane (non supernatural) enemies.
Plus his powers are immensely strong and can cause more damage
I guess i am the one who is gonna say it. Off camera facts: When Aragorn kicked the helmet and screamed, that was a real scream. Viggo broke two toes in that kick. He also bought two of the horses including Brego the brown Horse he rode. He is also a very good horseman and rider, and a very accomplished swordsman in real life.
The cinematography in this trilogy of films is jaw dropping. The beauty of New Zealand is on full display.
This did to New Zeeland what Crocodile Dundee did to Australia
Excellent reaction Courtney.
I think when commenters said Gandalf had died, they were being cautious as to not spoil it for you. His return is one of the best parts of the book and movie.
Personally I just tell reactors that I enjoyed it. Then, at the end I can say all I want.
But, again, excellent reaction.
This is why it's best to avoid saying ANYTHING about what may or may not happen in later films. Just don't do it. Even the smallest thing can affect what a viewer is expecting. Please let new viewers experience the film(s) on their own.
"We could use your help, tree friend"
*smash*
"Thank you for your services!"
Lol you're relentlessly adorable. Love watching you enjoy one of my all-time favorite movies. ❤
Legolas: Three hundred against ten thousand?
Leonidas: TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL
The film doesn't reveal this, but Denethor has one of the planatirs. That's how he know the Ring had been found
There's a lot more lore to gandalf but they cant fit it in the movies for obvious reasons, but basically he's an angel and the valar (gods) sent him back since his job wasn't finished. Him and the other wizards were sent there to guide and lead the free nations to counter sauron not to really engage in war with their power. Great reaction! cant wait for your reaction to the return of the king!
Enjoyed your reactions! Peter Jackson & Co. had to make many alterations to Tolkien's story to make exciting movies, and nowhere did they alter the book more than in T2T. Some of the alterations work better than others, but one alteration that doesn't get many remarks is the character of Gimli. The movie has long stretches that are, well, bleak, and they were wise to inject more comedy into the movies than you'll find in the book. Tolkien's Gimli is dour most of the time, but he has a surprisingly lyrical nature. In FOTR in the Mines of Moria he chants a wonderful song about Durin his ancestor that didn't make it into the movie. In T2T the story line is quite different from the book (for example, the Elves don't come to the battle), and Gimli finds himself swept by the battle into the caves behind the fortress (where the women and children go in the movie). He later describes the Glittering Caves of Aglarond to Legolas in some of Tolkien's finest prose. However, the contest between Gimli and Legolas at Helm's Deep is right out of the book, although the movie gives each one an extra Orc; in the book the final score is 42-41.
And Gandalf the Grey really did die in Moria. Tolkien's chronology shows that Gandalf's dead body lay atop the mountain from January 25 to February 14, when he was resurrected as Gandalf the White.
Is anything of his and Eru's interaction from that time written down?
One of the interesting things that the movie doesn't explain is WHY entering the forbidden pool bears the penalty of death. It isn't some arbitrary decision, or an excuse to force Frodo's hand. There's actually a very sound tactical reason for this, which is explained in the novel. The area where the men are encamped is one of the few safe havens for the men of Gondor when they're conducting missions in Mordor. It has clean water, shelter from the elements, and a base from which to strike out. They therefore cannot allow it to be known by the orcs. Therefore allowing any intelligent being they do not know to reach this place, as Gollum did, runs the risk of this information reaching the ears of their foes. So if they discover anyone sneaking into the haven, which is reached by going through/by the forbidden pool, they must kill them.
So excited to see someone watching these movies for the first time again!
The thought that Frodo’s mission was to destroy the ring never even entered gollum’s mind, it was unthinkable to him…until, Frodo told him point blank after he escaped shelob the spider, & then gollum freaked out and raged & charged Frodo, but gollum overshot it, & toppled off the cliff:D
It is subtle, but there is a difference in the personality of Gandalf the Grey and Gandalf the White. The actor himself has stated that they are 2 different characters and he prefers Gandalf The Grey as a character because the original Gandalf was friendlier. Gandalf The Grey is more of a humble man who tries to hide just how powerful he really is and to enjoy the simple things in life. Gandalf The White is a great lord burdened with being the chief enemy of Sauron whose power and majesty are fully revealed, and he behaves accordingly after this transformation, no longer joking in the same way or smoking as he used to.
Gandalf the Grey is the Wanderer and the friend of the simple people. Gandalf the White is the Advisor of Kings and Chiefs.
In the films Gandalf the White does still smoke in Minas Tirith before the battle of Gondor.
Yeah, I also think the extended edition is the way to go, but you didn't miss much by not doing it in the first movie. I believe they're more interesting/relevant in the second and third movies, especially the third one. But in the second movie, what I don't like much about the extended edition is Fangorn - I think they're a bit boring; personal opinion. Edit 22:50 - People believe Gríma cries because he knew Saruman was bad, but that's when he saw the extent of Saruman's power and intent displaying a huge army, that he realized much more was at stake. It's like Gríma is bad, but not 100% bad, like a "Holy crap, this is much bigger than I thought! I contributed to this!" 43:50 - Gollum is schizophrenic; there's Smeagol, and Gollum.
Grima didn't want Rohan destroyed, he just wanted to rule it, with Eowyn as his woman. Now he's thinking Rohan will be wiped out, including Eowyn.
I'm a massive advocate of the theatrical cuts, _especially_ for the first film, even on rewatches. I think anyone who has only watched the extended cuts for as long as they can remember and swears it's the only way to watch them should watch the theatrical cuts again sometime. I believe all except for the most hardcore fans wouldn't even notice what was missing. It's not like you get an incomplete story if you don't watch the extended versions, but the way people insist to watch them makes it seem like you would.
All the tasty details aside, the flow of the theatrical cut of the first film is just _perfect._ I'm not saying the extra content isn't valuable to anyone, but I think the theatrical version is the objectively superior version and perfect for a first time viewer to find out if they're really into this or not, without having to commit nearly 4 hours. Also, leaving the extended version to watch at a later time just adds rewatch value, so I see it as a win/win.
Your reaction is real, not fake, and also intelligent and genuine. It's what we want as fans, as you deserve all the good
you get from it.. I DO think 'Return Of The King' should be split in 2 parts... Thank you. x
Hello Courtney the last movie is really long and I have a suggestion for you, break it into two parts if you can. Thanks for the great reactions❤
33:51 It is called a 'Sally Port'.
42:00 We haven't met 'her' before.
You’re right, reacting to these films is a great way to start off a reaction channel.
Some extra (non-spoilery) background about Aragorn and Arwen, that might or might not be of interest:
A long, long time ago there were two brothers of mixed elven-human heritage, Elrond and Elros, who were given the choice to be counted either among elves or men (the backstory behind this in The Silmarillion is extensive). The choice is significant, as elves are immortal and after dying eventually are reborn, while men after dying go to some unknown destination. Elrond chose to be among elves and is seen in the movies. Elros chose to be among men and started the line of kings, being ancestor to Isildur and Aragorn.
Kings of the line of the half-elven Elros originally had a lifespan much greater than ordinary men, but their blood has been diluted since. The bloodline of the kings would be greatly restored were Arwen to marry Aragorn, but Elrond has made it clear that he will only give his daughter to a true king of men. Elves normally cannot give up their immortality, but Arwen being Elrond's daughter can still make for herself the same choice that Elrond and Elros once made. Were Arwen to choose to become human, her separation from Elrond would be grievous with their fates destined to irrevocably diverge once Arwen inevitably dies. Quite some family drama.
One of the many things changed for the film is the way the Hobbits fool Treebeard into seeing the destruction by Saruman’s orcs. In the book he’s already well aware of it and at the Entmoot the Ents decide to go to war on their own. The arrival of the Hobbits in itself is the catalyst that rouses the Ents into action. I love the films but that’s an example of several changes that the movies make to some of the characters and situations that gives short shrift to their characters and actions. Both Gimli and Faramir come off less well because of these changes. You might want to try reading the book at some point because as great as the films are the book contains so much more that makes it special and gives it more depth and weight.
I could have forgiven how foolish Treebeard appeared in the moves if only PJ had let them sing their march!
It's funny how a slight comment can impact the viewing experience of a movie. I just had that happen to me with Saltburn. I kept hearing "it's so fucked up" that I was expecting something really "fucked up" to happen and it just doesn't. It ended up being a let down just cuz the most miniscule impression I had
Can't think of a better way to start a new year than taking in LOTR for the first time!
We can give a little more backstory on Boramir and his family in the next movie. To give it to you here would spoil the third movie and its relationships. But I can say there a lot of good backstory there to explain things more fully. Love the reactions.❤
1) Thank you for your video
2) People come on don't spoil the sequels
3) (no spoiler) I think the extended edition of "The Return of the King" is NOT the good version for a first time, because the cut spoils you a big moment of surprise with a not so useful sequence, not to say useless. There are some really good elements in it that are not in the theatre version but overall I my personnal opinion I think it's better to watch the Theatre Cut first.
When Gandolf the White first appears, i swear they use Saruman's voice
Also, i think gollum says we, he means "the ring and I" or "my precious and I"
Yes. They use both actors' voices for the introduction of Gandalf the White.
The merch both Saruman's and Gandalfs old voice
Woot woot! Gosh I just love Gimli and Legolas.
Great reaction!! ❤
In the preface to Fellowship, Concerning Pipe weed, the plant that Tolkien describes doesn't resemble tobacco imho. I think that was his government answer.
Ive watched tons of lotr reactions & ive never heard of ppl en masse saying gandalf wasnt coming back...theres better ways to not be a spoiler than to be confusing like that....that def wouldve messed up my thinking/assessment of the situation also...i mean, i guess i understand what they were trying to do, but just keeping quiet is sufficient. Again, ive never heard of it happening on a big scale with so many in one comment section using that tactic....well, it was a great reaction regardless, & thanks for these reactions. Great edits, & everything else...good lotr reactions always make my day better: )
48:15 The movies are a fantastic adaptation of complex books that have extremely deep lore and character backgrounds. However, even the Extended Editions leave some major things unexplained.
No spoilers, but you can trust that there are reasons for everything you may still question after finishing all the movies. e.g why is Faramir's & Boromir's father the way he is?
❤ i didnt know you had one up before (a react to this)i just found you 2 days ago letssss go!!!!!! Hope u have done or gonna do the 3rd!!!!! Great commentary so fun to watch /listen at work
ayyyy lessgooo! for rohaan!
Excellent reaction 😂
Tolkien always claimed that his writings had no analogies related to his experiences on the western front in world war 1. He wrote a lot of stuff and with most of his writing that seems true. But The Lord of the Rings contains so many apparent analogies that no-one seriously believes its not inspried by his experiences in world war 1.
Boromir and Faramir are representative of two types of army officers that Tolkien would have enocountered in world war 1. Boromir represents the professional regular army officer type of 1914. Guys who had joined their regiments as teenaged officers and who had spent their whole lives in the army. Those are the guys who were brave and honourable and would follow orders from above no matter how stupid those orders were. The type of officer who led the disastrous british attacks at Loos in 1915, for example - guys who attacked trenches filled with machine guns across flat completely open ground.
Faramir represents the type of officer who replaced the Boromir types. Guys who were civilians in 1914 and joined up to fight the war, then learned most of what they knew while actually fighting the war. These men tended to be more intelligent, better educated, more worldly, and ultimately more practical and adaptable than the type of professional regular officers they replaced (most of whom, by 1916 had been killed or invalided out of the war). It was these men who led the british army in 1917 and 1918, using new tactics and ideas adapted for trench warfare and then tank warfare.
Faramir was not a professional soldier like Boromir. Thats why he is a ranger. But also he was an intellectual and Gandalf taught him as well. So he is very different to Boromir and, ultimately, more adapted to the war with Mordor. Denethor, his father, prefers Boromir over Faramir for the same reasons the Kings and emperors of ww1 preferred their regular professional officers - theyre pereceived as more willing to follow orders - but there are other reasons that Denethor behaves as he does towards Faramir and, unfortunately, the movies do a very bad job of explaining the real reasons for most of Denethor's behaviour. Lets just say that Denenthor has given up hope completely and truly believes the end will be very bad for everyone.
He's even said something along the lines of there being parallels between him and his batman, a military version of an assistant, and Frodo and Sam, respectively.
He did the same with Christian allegory. He said that he disliked allegory, but that his writings have what he called something like "applicability, iirc. He even said that TLotR is a Catholic work and Galadriel is inspired by the virgin Mary.
TLotR is truly a product of the life and time of Tolkien.
We all love Miranda Otto.
Great reactions, you being sharp and so fort. Exucse me for this request; pls do not say Gendolf but Gandalf, each A is an open A like in lark or the wrath I feel when u say Gendolf.
Hey, Courtney!
Gollum is schizophrenic. The Ring-corrupted dominant persona that taps into his id is Gollum. The original submissive personality is Smeagol. The debate he had with himself in which Smeagol banished Gollum was an acting tour de force by Andy Serkis!
The tall Orcs -- Uruk-Hai -- are Orcs crossbred with humans. The movie shows this done sorcerously in fleshy cocoons but in the books it is implied that the Hill-Men -- Dunlandings -- who swear loyalty to Saruman interbred with Orcs. Captive women from Orc raids also shared this fate. To spare audiences the horror of Orc rape, Jackson opted for a sorcerous explanation. There are female Orcs and perhaps willing Hill-Men as well but I'd imagine the majority of the crossbreeding was done forcibly.
The corpse-filled marsh that Frodo was drawn into was the site of the great battle seen in flashback in the first movie where Sauron had the Ring cut from his finger!
There are five wizards in Middle-Earth history: Saruman the White, Gandalf the Gray, Radagast the Brown and two Blue wizards. Galadriel was always partial to Gandalf but Saruman was elected head of the Order. Their purpose was to assume mortal guise and secretly shepherd the people of Middle-Earth. Saruman became obsessed with technology, power and secret knowledge, Radagast, seen in the Hobbit films, became obsessed with animals and the Blue wizards journeyed into the South and East to influence the people who dwelt there only to be corrupted or killed. There is no record of their fate. Originally named Olorin, the Gray wizard traveled far and wide becoming known by many different names: Mithrandir, The Grey Pilgrim, Stormcrow, Tharkun, Incanus, Gandalf. He was the only one who stayed true to his purpose and, upon his resurrection, he became the embodiment of what Saruman was meant to be. Of all his names, the one given him by the halflings was his favorite: Gandalf.
Aragorn is a Dunedain or a person descended from Numenor, an island to the west of Middle-Earth that sank like Atlantis during the Second Age. The humans who settled Numenor lived unusually long lives of many centuries. The trait was inherited from their ancestors who were rewarded with longevity by the gods of Middle-Earth for having aided the Elves in defeating Sauron's master, Morgoth, in the First Age. As Numenoreans interbred with other tribes of men, became corrupted by their intrinsic envy of Elven immortality and fell under the influence of Sauron in his handsome and charismatic mortal guise, their lifespans shortened dramatically. At Sauron's urging, the Numenoreans assaulted the Undying Lands to claim immortality and the creator of Middle-Earth destroyed their island home in reprisal. Sauron was on Numenor when it broke and sank resulting in his bodily death. However, his spirit survived, disembodied, to further plague the world. Aragorn, a pure-blooded Numenorean descended from Elendil who did not fall under Sauron's spell and who escaped the island's destruction, lived until the age of 210. During the War of the Ring, he is 87 years old.
Brad Dourif, who plays Grima, is an accomplished veteran actor of stage and screen. I find the bit where a tear slips from his eye as he looks out over Saruman's forces to be a great acting choice! I have no idea if that tear he lets fall was his doing or Jackson's but it almost redeems his character in my eyes. Grima bargained for power and was crushing hard on Eowyn but, when he sees the force Saruman has amassed, he realizes he will be complicit in the extermination of his people. That wasn't what he signed up for. He is experiencing existential terror.
I get chills every time Treebeard calls the Ents to war and they march to Isengard as the music swells. The Last March of the Ents! "There is no curse in Entish, Elvish or the tongues of Men for this treachery!" John Rhys-Davies, who plays Gimli, provides the voice of Treebeard.
Numenor sank into the ocean toward the end of the Second Age, not the Third.
@@davidemarzoli4815 You are correct!
@@oxhine I can't remember, is the third age the current one, then, speaking of the time in which TLotR is set?
And, yeah, I always thought it was cool that Numenor was basically Atlantis.
@@Real_LiamOBryan Yes, the Third Age begins after the opening battle in "Fellowship" where Sauron loses the Ring.
Have you noticed that Gollum and Sméagol speak with two different voices?
His pupils are also a lot smaller when he's speaking as Gollum.
Great reaction
These movies are so beautifully shot, the cinematography is out of this world but then New Zealand is pretty hard to film badly, lol. Since people are telling you how the movie differs from the book, I will say PJ got most of the adaptation right. Even some of the things he changed, like having Pippin show Treebeard the damage to Fangorn forest to motivate the Ents to join the war, were good changes imo, but one change I’ll never forgive PJ for is what he did to Faramir’s character here in the 2 Towers. In the book, Faramir is much more noble & wise. He lets Frodo & Sam go immediately, without dragging them down to Osgiliath before he comes to his senses. 🤬
So glad you are enjoying the films. I’d encourage you to read the Hobbit & the LotR books someday as Tolkien was an amazing wordsmith & his prose is eloquent & lyrical. Looking forward to RotK!
A lot of people don’t understand what’s going on between Eowyn and Aragorn. In the books she is only a teenager, probably between 15-17 years old. She has a crush on Aragorn because he’s handsome, brave and kind, and as a Royal Lady has led a very sheltered life. Aragorn is in love with Arwyn, and he likes Eowyn, so he is kind and supportive to her, but he doesn’t have any romantic feelings for her. As for Eowyn fighting…well perhaps you’ll get your wish in the next film. 😉
Tolkien gives a detailed chronology in an extensive Appendix at the end of ROTK. In it we learn that Eowyn was born in SR 2995; the events of the movie occur in SR 3019, which would make Eowyn 24 years old. Miranda Otto makes a convincing 24-year-old.
This is absolute garbage. And Arwen is a couple of thousand years old. Her father Elrond Half Elven married Celebrian, the daughter of Galadriel and Celeborn. Elrond is Elven, mortal Man and one of his Foremothers was Melian a powerful spirit who took the form of an Elven Queen. Only because of this lineage can Elrond and his children choose to give up im mortality. Elrond had a twin brother who chose this and he was the first king of the High Men and Aragorn is of his line.
The ages in the appendix are Aragorn 's when they met, and fell in love. He had been raised in Rivendell while Arwen was living with her grandparents in Lorien. Galadriel did a bit of matchmaking, she cleaned Aragorn up after his latest wandering warrior adventures and dressed him up so he would be more interesting to Arwen.
I don't actually like the portrayal of Gimli as the constant comic relief character instead of the noble warrior he represented but nothing to do about it now.
The shots of maps throughout the movies are Tolkien's own drawings which came with the books so it's an easter egg for the old-school fans.
You probably already saw the third movie I hope you like it. If not you should bring your popcorn and tissue paper you will need it 😘
Waiting for Star Wars Episode 3
My biggest problem with these movies is that Gimli became comedic. He was badass in the books and equaled Legolas in fighting skills. They reduced his character. That really bothered me. Otherwise I think they did well.
Where’s return of the king
Just uploaded it today 😁
👌🙏❣
Regarding Gandalf "not coming back," I don't know what anyone else wrote, but if you find my comment, it was "Gandalf the Grey is dead." One hundred percent true, as Gandalf the White came back. A little subversive on my part, and intentionally misleading, I'll admit. Furthermore, Peter Jackson purposely set up that scene the way he did to lead us to believe it was Saruman, from showing the figure from the back, to having a blinding white light on him during the encounter and even having Christoper Lee, the actor who played Saruman, speak the opening words of Gandalf the White's speech, then transitioning it to Sir Ian McKellan's voice.
P.S. I guarantee you will love the third movie. Trust me. But also have a box of Kleenex handy, as there a few scenes that might bring tears to your eyes.
Why would you write something that's a spoiler even if it's misleading? People do it on every reaction to that scene and it's so annoying.
@@Teofilo87 I thought about your comment for a while before deciding how to answer it. I don't think what I wrote was a spoiler. A spoiler, by definition, spoils at least part of a story for a first-time reader or viewer by telling them something important before the story-teller does. What in what I wrote did that? In fact, I confirmed what Peter Jackson wanted people to believe at least until they saw the opening scene of the movie. And even there, he immediately has Frodo affirm that it was "Just a dream, Sam. Just a dream." I'm sorry if you're annoyed, but I stand behind my words.
@@BobBlumenfeld It's like this - people are uncertain of what happens after Gandalf falls, they might think he's probably dead but subconsciously hoping he is alive (or reborn). You are supposed to let them dwell/stew in that uncertainty and not "ease" their mind by revealing something the film itself didn't reveal. It's a spoiler for the reactor regardless if it's true or not because you are speaking about something that's not made clear in the film. Let them guess what happens and not play games so they would potentially be more surprised, because it creates confusion.
@@Teofilo87 I see your point, but we have different views on this.
@@BobBlumenfeldAnything that affects a viewer's perspective going into a film is a "spoiler". It spoils the natural reaction the viewer would have because of what was said. It influences their expectations. Even telling someone a movie is great or it sucks can have an effect on how much a person enjoys that movie.
they made a few parodies !! ... check out "The Lord Of The Potter"
Yeah no, I love your other reactions, but I'm done watching any reactions involving the EEs (Extended Editions). Even the director, Peter Jackson states clearly that he prefers the TRs (Theatrical Releases), and that the EEs are just full of deleted scenes and fluff, only put in those releases to appease the fans that have to have them. They are not only not necessary, they ruin some surprises. Mind you, they are good to see for fanatics, but ONLY AFTER you've seen the original set BECAUSE of the early spoilers and fluff in them ... the fluff being some of the worst stuff because they have your mind focusing on the wrong things and diluting the intensity of the REAL story ...Frodo's journey. There is a reason why TRs are produced, and they are 100% what EVERYONE saw at the theaters, BEFORE the EES were released. I'll catch you on some of your other reactions, but you really should stick to versions of movies that MOST of your audience has seen, because the additional scenes are confusing to those who have not seen them, and YT edits have to cut out so much of the films that you risk showing those scenes while leaving out ones your audience wants to see you react to. Please don't listen to fanatics going forward. If you do, you WILL lose subscribers.
