- I got a lot of comments about how there is too much parts of the reaction cut and how it's too jumpy and brief for each scene, don't worry I read everything and part 2 of this reaction will be edited differently according to a few examples I saw on CZcams from other reactors. Hopefully it will be better!
Can't wait for that stupid old guy to die 🙄
Sorry for my english :p

I got a lot of comments about how there is too much parts of the reaction cut and how it's too jumpy and brief for each scene, don't worry I read everything and part 2 is edited differently according to a few examples I saw on CZcams from other reactors and according to your comments. It's a long video but if that's what you want, I got you!
Yeah, a three hour film cut down to 40min of react vid would be too ambitious.😂
@@boldbearings There have been a couple reactors who did that just to not get blocked by CZcams... I can understand yet still I think that Companies should end this behaviour when nearly all the world had already seen the content..
Gandalf doesn't look like Dumbledor. Dumbledor looks like Gandalf. Gandalf is the inspiration for most subsequent fantasy wizards.
Very right! Forgot how much older TlotR is compared to HP
Well...the real inspiration for most wizards, including Gandalf, was Merlin. Archetypes are a thing, and Gandalf wasn't the first wise old man to instruct a protagonist in a fiction story.
@@rikk319even Merlin was was a *Christ allegory* character, adapted for the *new* legends of King Arthur when christianity came to Britain. In all likelihood, Merlin was based on characters from legend that we will never know, druidic figures that were scrubbed from history for being "pagans". But their legend persists in the form of the archetypical "wizard"
@@bitterzombie All stories are derivative in the end.
@@bitterzombie Merlin has a pre-Christ origin in myths like Taliesin, and Lugh.
If it wasn’t for The Lord of the Rings , Harry Potter may not exist .
I'm starting to think the same, I see that Harry Potter got a lot of inspiration from TlotR
Sauron was able to create a ring that controlled the others because he helped make the others, like a locksmith who makes installs a lock and keeps a spare key, then robs the house. It's not really covered in the films - they're already extremely long!
Thank you so much for the explanation, that makes more sense than him just creating that ring out of the blue
The Great Rings were forged in the Second Age of the world by the Elf Celebrimbor. In this work he had the assistance on one "Annatar," who turned out to be Sauron in disguise. Annatar's influence was on the Seven and the Nine, but the Three Rings of the Elves were created by Celebrimbor alone, and Sauron never touched them.
@@johnwalters1341 I'm trying to keep it simple - too much detail makes things muddier, not clearer.
Sauron had no hand in making the Three, but they were made with the ring-lore he taught Celebrimbor.
Great reaction. Your english is very good, even if you have to think about the words your thoughts & observations are true to the spirit of the story. I look forward to watching the rest of these with you
Thank you, I appreciate your comment 🥰
The love of the Elves in Tolkien's works is different than humans. They fall in love only once in their entire existance, so it's even more special, and tragic when their loved ones die.(Elves actually do not die like humans either, they wake up back in the demi-god's lands.. it's a complicated story)
Imagine living 13000 years and watching the person you have spent the last two ages of the world die in your arms. That is why elves are so very serious about their actions and who they give their hearts to.
Such an interesting and refreshing reaction. So many great thoughts and you displaying a deep understanding of character traits and motives. Keep it up!
Thank youuu, I appreciate your comment 🥰
Saruman is actually an even bigger jerk in the books than in the movies. His color is supposed to be white and yet if you call him "Saruman the White", he frowns. Because as far as he's concerned, he is "Saruman of Many Colors". He's probably the most arrogant character that Tolkien ever made.
He's already getting on my nerves in the movie, can't imagine how it is in the books 😭
He took over the tower Orthanc and renamed it Isenguard well before the time of the movies because he started secretly searching for the Ring for himself. But his council to others like Gandalf and Galadriel and Elrond was that it probably washed out of the River Isen and out to the sea lost.
I do wish the movies had captured the Saruman of Many Colors moment (but then they changed a lot to that character which I won't spoil here).
3:08 Thats just a short cut of the film, Sauron was already near dead from killing King Gil-galad and King Elendil. Isildur finished off the injured Sauron, and cut the Ring off his corpse.
Agree that Frodo has NO business deciding to go through the Mines, he has no idea what that means or what they will face.
Right? Like I was waiting for Gandalf to say something but he didn't 😭
There were times when the Mines of Moria were controlled by the Dwarves. Had that been the case, their journey through there would have been easy. Unfortunately, the goblins controlled the mines at the time.
TBH, Realistically there was no other choice - Saruman LIVED not 10 miles from the Gap of Rohan, (The Border of Rohan in the East, a narrowish pass between two mountain ranges) and he already knew they were coming, so he could station Orcs and human followers there to kill or capture them. The pass of Caradhras was closed to them by Saruman also. They could trek hundreds of miles north and use the pass near rivendell, but Orce live in those passages. What other route was there? Gandalf, link all Maiar, had a degree of foresight and it failed him beyond entering Moria... kind of a hint he would die there. Would any being choose to enter a place where he was sure he would die? Perhaps his courage failed at that, because of the stakes involved. Frodo bore the ring - perhaps he should trust in Frodo's fate, rather that his own, now unknown future.
Gandalf knew Frodo had the ring for a reason, he was an angelic being in an old appearing body. He trusted the higher powers he worked for guiding Frodo's fate and let Frodo make the choice. They made it out of the mines into Lothlorien, Gandalf took out a Balrog that could have been used by Sauron, then came back with a power up and Saurman's job. Worked out well, trusting the ring bearer's fate to the Valar and Eru.
Gandalf never imposes a decision. He shares his wisdom and makes suggestions, but the final decision is made by the person themselves with all the consequences. This is teaching freedom and responsibility.
At 7:52 i never realized that as Isildur was looking at the ring...the ring got smaller between his fingers...it's so subtle, but it was a nod to that detail in the books of the ring growing and shrinking in size.
And when it abandoned him, it grew larger, so that it would fall from his hand. You could definitely speculate that it did the same thing to gollum when it slipped away from him to be picked up by Bilbo.
21:27. He's directly related to her. The story of Beren and Luthian is another important story in Tolkein's legendarium. It takes place in the 1st age (so about 7 or 8 thousand years before Lord of the Rings) and involves the first ever romantic paring of a man and an elf. Its probably the most important love story since Romeo and Juliet. Long, long, long story short Luthian's dad was not happy with his daughter wanting to marry a mortal man and so to give his consent he set a basically impossible task to Beren. Long, long, long story short they basically succeed... sort of (with the help of a giant talking dog) Their antics so impressed everybody, (including the local deities) that they were finally blessed so that their line should never fail. Aragorn is directly related to them as well as Elrond I think. You will notice later why their story has a special significance to Aragorn.
Omg the story building and the lore in these books are phenomenal and sound so detailed, I'm more than impressed. Honestly last time a world and lore building in a story has impressed me was in Game of Thrones!
At 16:46, Arwen's choice of a mortal life with Aragorn is a major decision that will have repercussions far beyond this moment. At the end of the First Age, the Valar, the Guardians of the World, rewarded the Edain, the Men who had aided the Elves in their hopeless war against Morgoth (Sauron's boss!), with a life span three times that of lesser Men, and the beautiful island of Elenna, within sight of the Undying Lands, where they founded the kingdom of Numenor. Elrond and his twin brother Elros were half-elven, with a mortal father and an elvish mother; to them the Valar also gave a choice of which kindred to belong to. Elros chose to be mortal and became the first king of Numenor; Elrond chose to be of Elf-kind and remain in Middle-earth. The Valar's choice was also given to Elrond's children, so here is the culmination of a process that began over 6,000 years ago and would end with the rejoining of the lines of Men and Elves.
2:10 - for some background. In the First age was the First Dark Lord, a Valar called Melkor, who became corrupt. The Valar are the Greater spirits that aided God (Eru-Iluvatar) to create Middle earth. Melkor then corrupted a number of lesser spirits (akin to angels), called Maiar, one of whom adopted his mantle, but he pretended to repent and was imprisoned for a time. After his release he used his nowledge and power (he was more powerful than many other Maiar, thanks to knowledge he gained from Morgoth) to go mong the elves, in disguise as a great Elf-Lord, called Annatar (Giver of Gifts) and he taught them the craft of Magical Ring-making and how to imbue certain magical abilities into the rings, all the while leaving those creations open to his corruption. While he taught he was careful not to MAKE those rings, himself - a way to gain trust. But some of the elves (Galadriel among them), were wary of him still and were careful not to abuse the powers. When Sauron put on the One Ring for the first time, the elves immediately saw the beatrayal and took off their rings before he could trap them. Dwarves, on the other hand he could not dominate, as he had planned to, because dwarves, unlike Elves and Men, were not originally made by Eru-Iluvatar. Dwarves were created by a lesser Valar, as his followers, and in a different manner, so the Sauron's planned domination over them did not hold BUT it did accentuate the Character Flaws that other races saw in dwarves - Lust for gold, stubborness and the like, to a dangerous degree. But they would NEVER submit to Sauron. Sauron thus set out to steal their rings and destroy the Dwarves, making them his enemies. (Also see the Hobbit, Bilbo's adventure.) The fate of the Kings of Men who received Rings you know. There were also a large number of minor rings (Dozens or hundreds - not stated in Tolkien) made, before the Elves "Got good at it" Some still are about, but not part of the story as thir powers are weak and unsteady (Hence Gandalf telling Frodo that there are "many magic rings, none to be used lightly.".. This a a very short, cliff notes summary of the Lore and history.)
That was actually honestly so so so interesting to read, thank you so much! I'm gonna pin your comment so I can come back to it to re-read it after I finish all the movies
Another great reaction and critique.
For all the Fellowship's combined abilities, the true hero of this story was Samwise (Frodo's best friend) in my opinion.
On to part 2...
He was taught elvish crafting
Stop apologizing for your English, I am grateful you are able to speak my language at all, and even when you can't find the words we get your meaning and it is so endearing. You have nothing to be sorry for and you will only get better with time.
Aww thank you, I appreciate your comments, you have a good heart 🥰
I wouldn't ask too many questions because it's a Hollywood movie and they simplify the entire story and sometimes distort it to make it US-friendly. If you want to experience original Tolkien, you need to read the books; the movies are mostly entertainment.
Yup, that's the thing with novel to movie adaptations, unfortunately they leave out a lot. If I like the story a lot when I finish the movies, I'll probably get the books too, to have the full details!
Pretty harsh
Almost all books are better than the movies, but these movies survive the test of time
@@viyctoriyareacts Would still say a movie adaption has a hard time to get better than this. No movie or tv series can reach the imagination of a book reader in how he or she visualizes the world and imagines the characters to be in it. Also something has to be always be changed in movie or tv series since unlike in books every character and every location has a production cost associated with it. Writers can just imagine entire worlds at the cost of the time it takes for them to write it.
To me this movie feels like you're diving directly into some reader of the book's imagination of the story, it's pretty good!
So so true, this is actually a greaaat adaptation, and I haven't read the book, but seeing how they take time with each scene and character show how much they cared to make it as perfectly adapted as they could, and making it 4 hours long almost was such a good choice!
The chances of the ring landing on his finger were very good, the ring was aiming for his finger......
Makes sense
9:47 I agree, and you'd think it would be rational for someone as powerful and intelligent as Saruman to do the good thing.
He and Gandalf are essentially angels, created at the beginning of time by God in the lotr universe. Their spirits are sent to earth as old men (to not have too much power, they mostly guide and inspire humans, not dominate their wills) to combat the evil from Sauron.
But Satan was also an angel in the biblical stories...
My fav movie of my life
13:34 Thank you. 😂
The nerfing of the Nazgul is too often overlooked by fans.
They've been trying and failing 😅😂
You need an editor to help you navigate copyright without making such massive jumps/cuts
Yeah I agree (love your profile pic btw)
I loved your reaction... Your energy, deep engagement and high level of perception were very entertaining. My only complaint is that I wished that the reaction was even longer. Thanks for sharing...
Just saw your comment on part 2, glad I was able to make it longer 😉
Sauron was defeated, not destroyed .
Yeah that's what I'm getting but when they showed him at the beginning of the movie being defeated it looked like he was turned to ashes
@@viyctoriyareacts - He lost his physical form, but his spirit remains, and only appears as the fiery eye.
@@viyctoriyareacts just his body , not his essence .
The One Ring is a soul object...a horcrux is similar, as they are both based on mythological items that would store someone's soul so they could return after their body was destroyed.
I haven’t watched your reaction yet, but I just wanted to say how beautiful you look. I don’t know the name of it, but your head scarf is just lovely and elegant.😊
Ok. On to the movie. In the books, Merry and Pippin know that Frodo has to leave the Shire and why. In the movie, Frodo doesn’t tell them why he’s leaving, just that he has to get to Bree. So Pippin doesn’t know he’s supposed to keep his mouth shut about who Frodo is, as bad as it looks. If you picture Pippin as being an oblivious young teenager, you might look on him a little more kindly, despite all his mistakes. 🙄🤦♀️😄
Aw thank you so much, you're an angel 🖤
That makes sense and don't worry even when I'm like "why are you doing this pippin?! (Or Merry)" when they screw up, It's still affectionate, I love them both, especially now that I just finished the second movie 🥰
And in the book they do point out that between Bilbo's party and Frodo's departure from shire, 17 years had past.
A very insightful reaction.
🥰
Tolkien was a Roman Catholic. You see a little imagery in the story. In the Silmarillion, you get the creation story. Tolkiens prequel to the hobbit and the lord of the rings. You learn that Elrond had a twin brother Elros. Elros chose human and became the first high king. These kings became the Dunedin. The humans with long life. This is the line that Isildor. So in a round about way isildur and Elrond are related. Like we’re all related through Adam and Eve. That’s the only elven line that is related to humans. Galadriel is the grandmother of Elronds daughter.
4hrs, that is the long, good version. Right choice! Hope you love the story. I must say though, I saw you in the hijab and then you cuz in the intro, I am shocked and laughing at the same time. I own the DVDs, there is additional information of the making of, the idea, the story behind everything and the history related to JRR Tolkin. That would answer a lot of your questions.
Why are you shocked and laughing tho? 😂 Also I feel like this is the most complete and detailed movie I've ever seen, the book fans must've been proud of this adaptation, I wish they still did 4 hours adaptations to novels, it's perfect!
Your charism is innocence and grace ;-)
Aww thank you so much, what a heartwarming beautiful comment 🖤
I can see the way this is edited that I am going to miss my favourite parts. Good luck with your channel I wish you the best.
I've received many comments like this one and so I changed the way I edit for part 2 and I made sure to not cut everything, even tho it will be a really long video to watch (but it seems like that's what TlotR fans wants, so it's all good). Thank you tho!
Enjoyed watching your reactions to the first part of the movie, although so much was cut that it's hard to follow the action.
Saw your comments on the second part, hope it was better 🥰
If I can make a suggestion , break the movie into 2 or 3 separate reviews. I’m sure you had some great reactions you left out of this one .
Hey! Thank you for your comment, don't worry that's exactly what I did, this is just Part 1, the second part should be up by tomorrow 😉
Better edititing, or is there something with copys...anyway,lets see second part. Good job🤗
Thank youuu, I appreciate it 🥰
You Speak English Very Well.....sure, there is more to learn 'How to speak English' in terms how to speak English words in terms of 'how people use English Words in social terms' in English speaking Countries....But overall your English is overall Great....
Thank you, I appreciate that, hope it improves over time 😊
I think you did fine, and you will do better than more movies to watch. But keep it up to
Thank youuu for your nice comment 🥰
hi...I like your reaction and focus to details but the editing was very strange....it's like your video makes too much jumps from one scene to the next and it just does not flow well...I am just trying to help...I am not sure I can do it better if I were to make my own video and I it takes practice...maybe you can try to just watch a similar reaction video of this move by another reactor to see how most people cut the scenes up...I am not telling you how to react and your reaction is fine, but the editing is very jumping and does not flow...anyway, I followed and best of luck to you...
Hey, thank you so much for your advice and comment, I appreciate you giving your opinion so gently 🥰 I'm currently editing the second part of the reaction and I had a few comments like yours so I'm trying to make it better and taking all of your suggestions and advices into consideration! I'm still new to this (movie reaction editing) so I'm still adapting. Thanks again for your thoughts, I really appreciate it and welcome 🖤

@@viyctoriyareacts You are welcome, dear
You practically cut all the iconic scenes???? Thats bunkers!!😢😢
Yeah, unfortunately I really messed up the editing in this first part, but part 2 is coming today and I made sure to listen to the comments, it's a very long video but everything is included, so it should be so so much better! Sorry about the first part 😟
@@viyctoriyareacts Thank you for sharing. We love when new people come to middle earth, we get to relive the wonder with fresh eyes.😊
I actually wish I could forget it and relive this movie again now that I finished it 😭 I'm glad I still got the other movies of the trilogy to discover!
you managed to edit out every pivotal moment…
This is only part one, part 2 will have more
@@FrenchieQc Let her watch it and stop talking about the other movies... what's wrong with you.
Why don't you guide her instead of being rude?
Thank you 🖤
@@Sir_Alex so pointing out a fact is now rude 😂
Peter Jackson decided to make the One Ring of Power like a powerful narcotic drug that the user can become addicted to and dependent upon by using it too much. Bilbo was highly addicted to the Ring and didn't want to give it up.
Jackson didn't make it like that--Tolkien did a pretty good job of expressing that in the novel without explicitly mentioning addiction. Addiction existed before modern drugs, you know.
@@rikk319 It was Jackson who expressed that he wanted the ring to be like a drug addiction. That's all I was saying above. Tolkien basically saw it as power corrupting a person in the general sense.
Read "The Silmarillion" and than you will understand how Sauron created " the one ring "
How can you enjoy a movie if every 15 second you paused it?
It's a reaction, dear. I paused a bit less in the second part, hope that helps
after the reacter´s cut the "bigger story" is just a dime novel. Other reacters need 20 minutes for Bilbo´s birthday party, here the heroes enter the Mines of Moria after 20 minutes.
That´s....... impressive. And I am not interested in the second part.
As you can see in the comment section, people already explained that they wanted more, so I left everything and didn't cut much in the second part.
Yes, LotR is a MUCH bigger (and deeper) story than you thought. But you show so little of the film in your video, and hence very little of your involuntary emotional reactions. That's disappointing. Viewers who love LotR want to see your emotional reactions (partly to re-live their own first experiences with it).
If you're going to do the reactions this way (with a lot of you talking rather than watching+reacting) your videos need to be at least triple the current length. Perhaps, when you finish Fellowship of the Ring, you should watch some other youtubers' reactions to it -- to see how other people do it better.
Thank you so much for your useful critic and advice, it's so useful and I actually really appreciate that! I will make sure to edit the next part differently to make it closer to what you described! Thanks again for not being rude about it and just explaining it like this.
Are you seriously going after her with this bogus idea. All of the other reactors are bs reactors they try to hard to be horrible actors with showing emotion and gestures. Unlike the movies of professional actors the reactors over do it and becomes fake and boring. This is her channel and she has the prerogative to do her way, to say that those who love LotR in a fanatical manner is too far and beyond the norm. The books are more detailed but long and the movies are made for entertainment not to fall in love as you say. Learn to read people and you will notice just how fake those reactors are that you speak of.
@@salsaucedo Going "after" her? No. Just making a polite suggestion from my point of view. *Of course* each reactor has the prerogative to do whatever they want on their channel. But I *am* learning that I should probably stop making comments about youtube videos in general.
@@StrangeRep Yes, your suggestion was totally reasonable and constructive for an honest reaction video.
No, as long as you're politely doing it there is no problems, especially if the comment is helpful
