    The Hobbit was written by Tolkien as a children’s book, hence the singing and the more cheerful and cartoonish feel! Lord of the Rings came much later at a time when Tolkien was really fleshing out his world and was much more serious.

    Please explain to your mum and sister that the old dwarf they like so much is actually the Balin that Gimli talks about from Moria. Also that tomb they come to where Gandalf says "Here lies Balin son of Fundin, Lord of Moria. He is dead then," is the very same dwarf. It's sad I know but wonderful too.

    • @redcardinalist
      @redcardinalist Před 5 lety +24

      Well said! 👍 Also, Oin and Ori went with Balin on his expedition to Moria. Ori was the last keeper of the record of the colony and it's his words that Gandalf reads out in Balin's tomb -
      "...We cannot get out. We cannot get out. They have taken the bridge and Second Hall. Frár and Lóni and Náli fell there bravely while the rest retreated to the Chamber of…Mazarbul. We are still ho{ldin}g...but hope …Óin's party went five days ago but today only four returned. The pool is up to the wall at West-gate. The Watcher in the Water took Óin--we cannot get out. The end comes soon. We hear drums, drums in the deep. They are coming."

    The Hobbit was written years before the LOTR books and it was originally a children's story. Peter Jackson just made it more adult in the story but kept things so that it would appeal to children too.

      Elizabeth Salvatore having read the book many times i actually love how the film didn't really stray too far from it. And i love how they added the appendices of where Gandalf kept dissappearing off to.
      I thought he was writing the Lord of the rings a lot longer but was just harder to release. He decided to have the hobbit published first.

      Peter Jackson told himself that his time in pre-production was too short and he had trouble envisioning the last act. That's why he made it into 3 movies instead of 2 (That way he had more time for the last part). For me also, there's too much stuff brought into it that wasn't really necessary.

    You've got to love the fact that Fili & Kili were the first ones at 10:38 to come in defense of their uncle.
    It's sad that these scenes are often passed over unnoticed, but it is these small details that makes this series beautiful.

  • @shadedmoon
    @shadedmoon Před 6 lety +50

    The one ring does have a will of his own.
    Gollum lost him as the ring wished.
    And both frodo and Bilbo got the ring on their finger by the rings will.
    The ring wants to be found by its master and will make it happen.
    This is why frodo wants to put on the ring at the end of the films (the ring whispers to him to do it). As well as frode doning the ring why those 9 riders are close by (at the start of the film aswell as at the tower (first film)).

      Yes, it expected to be found be a goblin or something of that ilk, he didn't intend to be found by Bilbo, but he did intend to abandon Gollum, it knew that Gollum would never leave the caves, and that he was a dead end.

      @Tar-Numendil Před 4 lety +1

      @@KrisB_5 The movies fucked up the timeline. Bilbo gets the Ring in T.A. 2941. Aragorn is born in T.A. 2931. Frodo receives the Ring from Bilbo in T.A. 3001 but doesn't set out to destroy it until T.A. 3018. Here is a link to Tolkien Gateway's timeline of the Third Age:
      tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Timeline/Third_Age
      What the movies did was essentially cut out the 17 year period where Frodo has the Ring in the Shire and moved the events of The Hobbit to T.A. 2958 when it was actually T.A. 2941.

    The dwarf you’re thinking of is Bofur, he is played by James Nesbitt, a well known Irish actor in the UK. His character is very cheeky but loyal.
    In the original book the only distinguishing features the dwarves had were different coloured hoods. Peter Jackson wanted to give each dwarf a different personality so that it would not be all the same.
    All the fan girls love Fili and Kili but I love Thorin. Richard Armitage is absolutely gorgeous!And I think Kim has a bit of a soft spot as well!!

    The elven sword Glamdring that Gandalf takes originally belonged to Turgon, the king of Gondolin in the first age. He was the great grandfather of Elrond but was killed in the Fall of Gondolin in the First Age. The hobbit and LotR are set in the late third age of Middle-earth

I personally like the second movie best so I am stoked to see your reaction. I also look forward to seeing the reveal of the dwarves' relationship to one another. I've always loved how Tolkien does family and how important they are. I think they'll enjoy the reveal of both Thorin/Fili/Kili and Gloin's relationships. A general rule of thumb for Tolkien--if the names rhyme, they're related!

    I thought about what to recommend for next series that could be entertaining for you. Hellboy is based on comics, but is more fantasy than superheroes. It was done by Guillermo del Toro. He also started working on The Hobbit with Peter Jackson, but had to leave (some of his style remained though). He also did first Pacific Rim, but I don't think you will be much into that.
    From superheroes genre - Spider-Man with Tobey Maguire.
    Pirates of the Caribbean are fun, but it is possible you have already seen them.
    And John Carter is very fun, underrated movie. And Valerian also.

    the eagles are free and sentient creatures and have their own buissness for most of the time. :) and AFAIR they themselves said to Gandalf that they are helping him becouse he helped them in the past, once or twice but they are not his porters you know :) But I guess that in LOTR the eagles flying without any questions to save the saviours of MiddleEarth was entirely another matter :) it was not only that Gandalf helped the eagles once or twice long ago, it was that the eagles were now, in this situation simply obliged - on their proper mission - becouse they are Manwe's himself servants. :) so its only natural that they flew to get the hobbits from the Mountain of Fire.

    The riddles scene was one of the best in all trilogy and one of the most faithful to the book actualy. :) And its captivating even if it is only dialogue and some walking around the little space, becouse - you know - in the scene of the riddles Bilbo fights for his life but this time using his wits :D Its maybe the last time when we can hear very exact dialogues from the book, and after this scene there are only very little bits and pieces of book dialogues in the movies. I have a feeling that the old trilogy, LOTR, got more book - dialogues than the new trilogy.

  • @TallisKeeton

    I guess that since the ring is a bit sentient being it sort of felt that there is now someone new in the area - someone who can free it from this stupid cave :) After 500 years :) So it abandoned Gollum as we were informed in LOTR and the Ring itself could be so inteligent that it found its way to be in the possesion of some new bearer from the outside of the cave. It destroyed king Isildur and get him killed in the river and after that It was taken by Smeagol - originaly a hobbit from fishermen tribe - and the Ring was very unhappy that this creature did not like to go outside. Becouse the gaol of the Ring was to be found by its lord, so it wanted to go out of that cave. And when Bilbo came nearby I think that even the Ring itself wanted to be taken by this new person who come from outside. Becouse the Ring "thought" that after it escapes the cave it would be on the simple road to its creator. I think that in this scene the Ring wanted to be found by Bilbo, so that it escaped from Gollum's belt during the fight with the orc.

    Saruman was never truly evil. Thru the palantir, he was spoiled and corrupted by sauron which made him "switch sides". As seen in the movies, Gandalf was scared to touch the palantir or the One Ring, because he knew it could corrupt him. He advised Saruman against ever using any of these "tools". Saruman was naive and thought he could resist. anyways he thought after getting corrupted, sauron was too strong to be defeated. BUT, he still intended to destroy sauron, just not in a "good" way. He waited for the right moment, to use the One Ring for himself, to destroy sauron and take his place. Now i wouldnt know what he would have done with the armies of orcs if his plan succeeded. I have doubt he would try to destroy the world just like sauron did, but we'll never know because he never reached that point.

    The one REALLY big problem I had with the Hobbit movies is that they didn't show Bilbo's discovery of the Ring the way they had established it in the LotR movies. He isn't even wearing the same color of waist coat. That was a very immersion-breaking moment for me. :(

      Since this is all a flashback told from Bilbo's point of view, I have no problem with him misremembering how things really happened. Thorin in the book, for instance, is described as being the oldest of the dwarves, but since Bilbo idolizes him in his memory he's this young, virile, Aragorn-y guy... in the book he imagines the mountains in the thunderstorm being large stone giants battling...

    The book is a children's book. That's why it's more lighthearted. Peter Jackson made a lot of changes to stretch it out into 3 movies. People complain (for no reason), but if the movie was a direct adaptation from the book material it would have been crappy in live action; better served as a direct to DVD cartoon.

      @rickj5180 Před 6 lety

      Crescendyr Um, no. Theres plenty of reasons to complain about this series. The CGI and visuals? Awful. It looks like a crappy animated movie most of the time. Watch the river scene in the second one and tell me that doesnt look like shit. The added stuff? Worthless. Legolas goes from a bad ass in LOTR to irritating in this series. The pointless romance was badly written. The orcs looked so fake and dumb, instead of real and scary, because they were all CGI. Jackson over used CGI just like the star wars prequels.
      That's only some of the complaints. So dont you claim theres no reason.

      The studio wanted to push out the hobbit as fast as they can, if this wasn't the case I'm sure Jackson would go back to heavy prosthetic designs and not being so reliant on CGI all the time if the studio didn't push the film to be a money grab

      Replayandplay Okay, but the quality of it is still poor. It's still used too much. Maybe Jackson was forced to use so much bad CGI, but at the end of the day, its still terrible overall and the movie suffers from it.

    The giants are considered to just be trolls by most Tolkien scholars. The Hobbit was written prior to Tolkien’s expansion of the legendarium in the Lord of the Rings and Silmarillion, so there’s terminology used in the Hobbit that’s different from LOTR (e.g., orcs and goblins are the same thing, but this movie has huge inconsistencies when it comes to that: with goblins seeming to be a different species, and orcs here seeming a lot more like Uruk-Hai in the Lord of the Rings). But yeah, no “stone giants” - in the book they’re mentioned very casually, in passing, as some kind of trollish monsters that throw rocks in storms and make the sound of thunder. You might watch Lindsay Ellis’ videos about the production of the Hobbit film series to see a lot of the book-vs.-film differences and the reasons (in depth) why these movies have such a weird, jumbled tone and style. I recommend also (eventually) watching the 1977 animated Hobbit movie. It has a very distinctive and different tone and look (which I consider part of its charm) - though it isn’t for everyone. It’s more similar to the book and doesn’t try to shoehorn in LOTR stuff or try to make the story more LOTR-like (which even Tolkien himself tried to do in the 60s, with a scrapped post-LOTR rewrite of the Hobbit: scrapped because he saw almost immediately that trying to tell the story of the Hobbit in LOTR’s tone and style and complexity totally killed the childlike simplicity and fantasy of his original book). I don’t get a whole lot of enjoyment out of these movies, personally, because I feel that they’ve gone down precisely that same road, which Tolkien himself abandoned for being a terrible idea - among lots of other factors, like the terrible overuse of CGI, the studio-driven choices (like there being 3 movies directed by Peter Jackson, instead of 2 by Guillermo del Toro), the hokey writing (“that’ll do it”, said the Goblin Lord with a gash in his torso), a heavy focus on worldbuilding and unnecessary humor rather than on character development or plot (I mean, really, did there need to be a sequence for the storm giants, who got a single sentence of mention in the book, and whose presence adds NOTHING???), etc., etc., etc. Not to harp too much, I know there are people who like these movies - I just wish that the films had been much better, done the book much more justice, and not tried to bloody hard to make a big epic trilogy out of a cute little adventure bedtime story told to Tolkien’s young child. The Hobbit is not a prequel trilogy to LOTR - it isn’t Lord of the Rings 4, 5, And 6 - LOTR is Tolkien’s (originally unplanned) sequel trilogy to his one little Hobbit book. It’s not meant to be a grand high fantasy saga like LOTR, it’s meant to be a little episodic a-chapter-a-night fairytale for children - the only reason LOTR turned out as a mature epic the way it did was because Tolkien’s son grew up while he was writing it, and he wanted the story to grow up with him. I really hope that a solid Hobbit film or films can be made someday - because sadly these don’t satisfy. Not as a Hobbit adaptation, and certainly not as a suitable companion to the LOTR films. But that’s just me.

    Overall this film isn’t terrible. But Jackson’s mistake was turning 300 pages of source material (420 including the appendices) into 3 very long films. Consequently the pacing is extremely slow. Essentially nothing happens in the first 45 minutes of this film apart from a dinner party.

    I just cant stand so much hate thrown upon the "Hobbit" trilogy :) Its q. good film, though not nearly as good as LOTR. There are too many of non-book battles and skirmishes and so too little time for book dialogues - esp Bilbo has not enough screentime in the 2 and 3 movie. And though I dont mind CGI too much I felt q. disturbed by so many little events prolonged too much on the screen - like the battle in the goblin tunnels. And I think that emotionaly LOTR was more pristine :) More original. I think that the old trilody was a lot better with meddling with our emotions - much of the scenes in the new trilogy seems artificial and not as emotional as it could be. But thats not mean that we cannot be moved emotionaly by some of the new trilogy's scenes. I think we can. I m alway emotional becouse of the scene when Bilbo choses not to kill Gollum but just jumping over him. The other nice scene is when Bilbo choses to use the Ring to walk in secret through the battlefield to get the message to Thorins company. The other is when Bilbo alone charges on the groupd of big powerful werewolfes and orcs to save Thorin. Without the existence of LOTR the new trilogy would be considered one of the models/benchmarks of fantasy movies :) Which actualy it is - together with LOTR and some 4 or 5 other movies. This genre has so, sooo few of its masterpieces so we should cherish all of them even not the best ones :)
