I have much empathy/ sympathy for Bilbo and Boromir. 60 years with the Ring while Sauron was in hiberation turned Bilbo into a dangerous feral cat. Boromir was around the ring at its peak "temptation powers" while Sauron returned, and his people were facing the brunt of Sauron's wrath for decades (even though Sauron was gone, the actual empire still was functioning). His father was loosing his mind and elves/dwarves were not sending support to them out of fear of angering Sauron and drawing his ire. Boromir did legit bring up good points. Without any doubt the ring would corrupt Legolas , arogorn, and gimli given enough time.
I came for the movie but I stay for yall being all billy about a cardboard cutout. May your oxygen be strong as a wizards. Never weak nor too potent. Precisely as much as you mean to
Bruh, I'll binge watch LOTR with you guys anytime. Make them the next 2 movies and do the Hobbit. Pump them out. I'll take this over any young Justice anytime
I always wonder what Frodo would have looked like had he turned into a ring wraith. would ha just be a small ring wraith? would ha inexplicably grow?
I had read somewhere that Tolkien planned or wanted to do a lot more stores in Middle Earth, and that eventually the plan was to tell his version of Atlantis.
He did began to write it, but stopped. Christopher Tolker (his son) addresses some of those notes in the "HIstory of Middle Earth" Series. The History of Middle Earth is not new material per se, rather it expands on the Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, and the Similiarian. It is Christopher's Tolkien's collection and exposition/analysis of his father's notes about Middle Earth in 12 volumes. JRR Tokien left many boxes of pages of random drafts, notes, theories, thoughts, etc. He made Christopher Tolkien the literary executor of his estate and gave him permission to republish on JRR's behalf or destroy on his behalf.
"Do not be too eager to deal out death and judgement, for even the very wise cannot see all ends."
The Ring is kind of like a Horcrux. Sauron is/was a type of angelic being who fell (like the devil/satan) in Tolkien Mythology. By nature, Sauron doesn't have a physical form but he can take on one. Over the countless battles and spells he's cast, he made himself vulnerable by tying his essence to physical objects. Once those objects are destroyed, he can no longer take physical form. But because Sauron is a divine type being, he can never truly be destroyed. He can only be banished to the non-material world/dimensions.
I cannot emphasize enough: watch the extended versions for Two Towers and Return of the King.
Please please PLEASE watch the extended edition for the whole trilogy guys!!! You won't regret it :)
Whoa I wasn't expecting Wizarding World AND Middle-earth back to back lol hyped!
So, a wild behind-the-scenes thing for this movie was during the duel between Lurtz (the Uruk-hai captain) and Aragorn. The Uruk prosthetic and costume setup was somewhat notorious on set for making it difficult to grip things since they were essentially made to wear two sets of gloves -- the armor gloves and then a set of prosthetic gloves to make their hands bigger to match their body suits. For the duel scene, Lawrence Makoare (who played Lurtz) was meant to just pretend to throw the knife which would then be added in post. However, his hand had become covered in fake blood without his realizing it and his grip wasn't great because of the costume, so the knife slipped out of his hand and really went flying directly at Viggo Mortensen's face. That knife deflection in the scene was real. Viggo managed to defend himself on the spur of the moment without breaking character.
love the shout out of the frighteners. now you need to react to it
after this, you guys should watch the YTP Lord of Da Tings. i cannot watch this movie without hearing the YTP
"Gandalf as Ring-lord would have been far worse than Sauron" - JRR Tolkien.
The One Ring did shrink and grow as needed to fit it's wearer's hand. They accomplished this shot, not through perspective but a morph between two shots of the actor holding a larger ring and a smaller one.
Have you guys seen the teaser trailer for How To Train Your Dragon Live Action movie? If not, please react to it! It looks Epic!
Aww y'all didn't watch the extended version ;-;
Bruh, I'll binge watch LOTR with you guys anytime. Make them the next 2 movies and do the Hobbit. Pump them out. I'll take this over any young Justice anytime
Never really cared for LotR or Harry Potter series but I hope the Sorta Stupid crew and the fans enjoys them.
Yall remember foaming out the mouth guy in ATLA? Its me.
extended edition! especially for two towers!
In case it’s not clear, the Cave of Two Lovers from ATLA may or may not have purposely mirrored the Mines of Moria.
Funny how I watched the Hobbit movies before this without knowing it was a prequel, I thought it was a remake of these movies.
So funny seeing Ruff just being completely enthralled by the end, it always happens. You gotta be a special kinda miserable to not enjoy these movies from the acting, the movie production, or the plot, this trilogy is just at its core peak cinema
Legolas is the friend that if you told him you had a problem his response would be, "How many bodies am I creating and how many of them do you want buried?"
Hope y'all do the extended editions.
I actually really like the Hobbit movies and I hope you watch them. The reason for three movies is that there’s a bunch of stuff that isn’t in the book that sets up LOTR. And by “not in the book” I mean it is in the book but is done off screen(off page?) when a character disappears early in the story, runs off, does all the LOTR setup stuff and then comes back just in time for the finale. Also the climax of the Hobbit movies is infinitely better than the book’s climax because in the book, the main character gets knocked unconscious as soon as the final battle starts and then it just cuts to him waking up after the battle. Tolkien skips the battle! In the movie we SEE the battle! It’s better because it fixes Tolkien’s lazy writing.
I disagree on calling it lazy writing. The hobbit is a much chiller book, a large scale war battle isn’t needed or the point of the story. Certainly it makes sense that a movie version wouldn’t leave out the battle but skipping it makes sense for the book
"Ruff red-mane" yeah grow out the beard.
The saddest thing about themNot watching the extended editions is how much better they flesh out boromir
I hadn’t watched the extendeds until this year tbh. For your first time viewing you won’t miss anything, but on rewatch if you like this watch the extended and treat yourself cause it helps round the story a lot more
I mean, if this does well enough and if they like it maybe we can ask them to react to the extended edition in a year or two
Ok Im gonna be different here, the theatrical cut is better for your first time watching, as its better paced. The extended cut though does have moments that add more context, so if you want to id like to see a "rewatch party" but with the extended cuts
Think the only real thing you miss is something being off-screened in the third movie but it isn't too bad, so, eh
First thing I checked was the watch time. Was immediately saddened to no see 4 hours
warcraft 3 but lord of the rings factions was the best back in the day
I live an hour away from Hobbiton lol. It still looks amazing
Damn yall missed some good stuff not doing the extended. (I assume it's all been recorded already so no changing it now) maybe do a quick vod on youtube that shows all the extended scenes.
finally, a reason to watch the movies.
A few things. Like every is saying, the extended cuts are way way better. I also if we are doing this I feel like we should start with the hobbit as it takes place before the lord of the rings
true but Jackson added in a load of stuff that would just completely fly over viewers heads if they hadn't watched LOTR first
Please do the extended Editions. Since i saw them i cannot stand the originals anymore... so much dialogue they cut that explains so much about the lore
Man, you guys are some of the just the best reactors ever. I love how fucking funny you are and how much you don’t give a shit but also do give a shit. It’s so wonderful also you better be watching the extended edition it’s illegal not to lol 😝 and if you’re not, you better rewatch it
you guys need to watch the extended editions of the next two movies or you'll miss a lot of good action
Love these movies kind of sad you didn't do extended Version but the Theatrical cut is still great 👍
Anyone else a little disappointed they didn't do the extended version
yeah im irrationally butthurt by this decision but understand schedules were probs made so they didnt know how bad a lot of us wanted this juicy jazz, i agree tho... it's extremely hard to watch after seeing the extended... almost night/day.
More than a little on my end
yesssssss saw this was on the schedule and celebrated.
first comment love this movie
