I cannot express to you how much I loved these films... I am so heartbroken that this journey is over and have not been able to stop thinking about them since I finished it! I don't think I will ever be the same. (Sorry if that sounds dramatic, but it has altered my brain chemistry)

Watching tonight! Happy early birthday Lite!

Neville

WooHoo!!! Lets Go!!!

E

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. HERE WE GOOOOO. Literally a life changing movie and I really believe it could become your #1 film of all time just like it did with me 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Brian Scarbrough

I won’t be able to watch it for a few days probably, but I’m looking forward to it! Your reactions are the BEST out there—so insightful and deep. You see things in these films and in Band of Brothers that I’ve never seen after many times watching them. Thank you for such heartfelt emotion and your thorough treatment of these great pieces! And no, it’s not just you…the themes are so big. I read a lot of Tolkien, and it is so epic!

Alan

LETS GOO

Baldemort

You still have the Hobbit movies to do! You should do them later this year.

Dan M

“And thus it was. A fourth age of Middle Earth began. And the fellowship of the ring…though eternally bound by friendship and love…was ended.” Though you have completed this adventure, your journey through Tolkien’s world of hobbits, men,elves, and dwarves has just begun. There is so much more for you to explore, let your imagination go wild. For you are now a Ringer.

Baldemort

so TEEGAN read this -- The foreshadowing of Gollum being the one to destroy the ring happened in Fellowship of the ring. Remember when Frodo and Gandalf had the conversation in the mines of Moria (ill paraphrase): Frodo: "Its a pity Bilbo didnt kill him when he had the chance" (implying Bilbo had the chance to kill him once) Gandalf: "my heart tells me Gollum still has a part to play yet for good or ill, the pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many" So what do you think? The best foreshadow in the history of stories or what? Las thing, that is also missed. Gandalf shows up at the end to rescue Frodo and Sam from the volcano, but he shows up with THREE eagles showing that he hoped Gollum would be there. Gandalf this whole time had hope that Gollum would be saved from the ring and his heart changed for the better.

Dan M

Thank you for ending 2024 on an amazing high note! I am so grateful that I’ve found your channel, and I’m so grateful for a community that loves movies as much as I do. I can’t wait to begin an entire year with The LiteWeights. Happy New Year, Teegan! And Happy New Year to the Liteweight community! Here’s to a fantastic start to 2025. 🥂🎉💕 And a very Happy Birthday to you, Teegan!! I hope you have an amazing day celebrating tomorrow! 🎂🎉🎁

Robert da Spruce

Can’t wait to watch your reaction! Happy New Year to you and your family Teagan!

Kaleb Barker

Work can't end soon enough! I mean this is always true, but especially true tonight! Cannot wait! Happy New Year Teegan!

Amy the Defiant

Been so very excited for this ^^ Thanks for your reactions, your kindness, empathy, investment, it shows it really does. Spending my new years' eve watching this is something I really needed

Alex Gorell

Damn 4.5 hours 🤣 I forgot how long this extended version is.

Chris

Your questions ARE pretty much all answered in the books, so I won't address them here, but will let you get to your own answers. Someone has probably said the below elsewhere, but if they haven't, something to know as you move to the other works. The Hobbit is a wonderful book, but know that it's a kids book. It's a lovely story from the same world, with some recognizable characters, but if you expect the same tone as LOTR... it's a bit different. Personally, I think the Hobbit movies suffer a bit from having to adapt a very different tone of a book (and from stretching a much thinner story into so many movies). The Silmarillion, meanwhile, is much more high-level, written almost like a non-fiction work (with some longer narrative threads here and there that serve as exceptions). It's less engrossing as like, a novel, but if you want to experience some world-building... dear god.

Paul G

Everyone needs but so few deserve a friend like Sam! Happy 2025 all!

Jonny Moonsliver

Sam gets to sail to Valinor after a long life as mayor of the Shire once Rosie dies of old age. Gimli goes too with Legolas when he is in his old age. Aragorn lives a long life with Arwen, and she goes to Lothlorien once it is faded to live out her final moments, since that is where she and Aragorn met for the first time. (Not really a spoiler, none of this is in the main books, just the appendices)

Michael

The two lines that get me every time is "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you" and "You bow to know one"

Baldemort

how dare you spoil the appendix 😬

Baldemort

we all have to agree though that after the deplorable amazon show rings of power. The Hobbit looks like a masterpiece. All in all I think hobbit movies has been generally more accepted over time. They still respect the world of Tolkien and are fun to watch.

Chris

I like the first one... after that it's pretty tough sledding though.

Derik Knutson

Anyone that thinks the Hobbit movies are better than the Rings of Power is severely compromised.

Clay F

Enjoyed your reaction. Thanks. "I go to my fathers in whose mighty company, I shall not now feel ashamed."

Robert Foxx

One thing to really add to your LOTR List is the game shadow of Mordor and Shadow of war they are brilliant and are set just before LOTR.

Wil Castillo

It was so good to watch these films again! I loved your reaction to them. Seeing your first-time reaction to these films made me feel like I was watching it again for the first time. I didn't want it to end, but I guess everything has to end at some point. I'll be looking forward to your reaction to The Hobbit films. Thank you, Teegan, for making 2024 a much better year with your reactions to the films we love. I wish you and your family many blessings in the new year! Happy New Year, LiteWeights!

A little production fun. Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee (May he rest in peace) was stopped during his hostage scene by Peter Jackson, who wanted him to scream when being Stabbed. Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee stated to him "Have you seen a man die before, because I have. And I know the sound a man makes when stabbed in the back". Christopher Lee served in the Royal Air Force as an intelligence officer, attached to the No. 260 Squadron RAF during World War II as a liaison officer for the Special Operations Executive Most of the loud chanting was recorded in the New Zealand game stadiums with a live audience at half times, chanting the phrases given to them by Peter Jackson, to emulate the sound of a real crowd, or a real army in battle. The thing with Shelob the Spider that most do not know, is that she was an EXTREMELY intelligent girl. Many view her as evil, but she really isn't, only trying to feed since she is a carnivore. She understands language, tactics, and when to attack/retreat. A creature that has survived decades being hunted, and tormented.

Jordaine

I never comment on anything but just wanted to share that I'm currently going through a tough breakup with someone I've known for over a decade, have loved for 9, and been in a relationship with for almost 4 years. It wasnt until watching your reaction, especially the Into The West credits song, that I actually broke down and had a "good" cry. I guess I've been suppressing the emotions for months now. Thank you for this

PKHill

Something that is often overlooked, yet much to your credit you didn’t, when Gandalf goes with the Eagles to Mount Doom he takes 3 Eagles because he expected to save Smeagol/Gollum too. Nicely done.

Eric Wallace

I sincerely mean this. Before you watch the hobbit, watch The Appendices (the making of 6 part 12 hour documentary series about making this trilogy.) 1.) It will grip you just as much emotionally as the movie, you will appreciate and love the trilogy even more after, and they're fascinating 2.) No other reactor, literally none, has done these and they are a MASSIVE part of the fandoms love for this trilogy. 3 .) They're just great.

PKHill

My favorite line, which I feel nicely sums up the entire story, is spoken by Gollum when he reappears on the slopes of Mount Doom, “Clever Hobbits to climb so high!”

Greg

That was incredible!! Thank you so much for listening to, and including with your reaction, your listening to Into the West, such a beautiful song and so necessary to listen to at the end of this epic trilogy. No one ever does this so I was thrilled to see that you did. Lastly, the passion and attention to detail that went into these films is beautiful and mind boggling! It’s been documented in a series of videos that were originally on the DVDs. I only know of one reactor who has reacted to them but at least on your free time I would highly recommend them. The following is the YouTube playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRzqXH8K0HzHLIkb6g9PcXtaKBpFpomPB&si=YUVXvqGj6bW5OMDm

Baldemort

Teegan! Ser Chrispher Lee who plays Sarumon has since passes away, but know this. Sir Christopher Lee lived an extraordinary life. Worthy of being told and admired. He was a soldier, spy, actor with a long career. Dracula, Count Doku, Saruman, are just some of his best-known roles. Descendant of Carlo Magno. He was the only actor in the cast of Lord of the Rings to personally know his author, J.R.R. Tolkien, he also knew those who unlived Rasputin, saw the last guillotine execution, was an RAF intelligence officer, member of the special operations corps, fighter nazis was a great fan of music and recorded an album of symphonic metal and power metal, spoke 9 languages, was cousin of Ian Fleming author of James Bond, it is believed that he was the one who inspired the character. And the list goes on ...... Many of us not in 10 lifetimes would live all the adventures that the great Christopher Frank Carandini Lee lived in his 93 years of life.

Baldemort

lastly I want to encourage you to watch the lord of the rings behind the scenes documentary.

Randolph Tirazona

Mumblings of a guy that's older than the mud on your boots! Erase? NO! When you can - watch it again! I know for me it gets better and better. But I was brought up playing a record over and over and over and over and over again for my mom when I was a kid. So I love listening to the same song I love thousands of times over, watching the same movie a thousand times over! My claim to fame is wearing out a VHS tape of "Star Trek: Generations" lol Well from what I've seen you've captured most of - if not all of the key moments and points within any film! And that is rare! I noticed it in your first few reactions. For myself that's not the only thing I like about Reactors. I also like to see them enjoy the movie, to have some fun. To feel the terror I felt, the sadness, the anger, the hatred and "all the feels." In these 6 years I've been 'Watching the Watchers' I see too many exaggerate their expressions, etc. Or have little or no expressions of 'feelings.' It's not just 'watching someone watch a movie.' For me the Reactor needs to connect me to them and to the movie through their expressions and emotional content. I do recommend reading "The Silmarillion" (1977); remember it is a collection of stories and not a 'true book' per say! Chapter 19: "Of Beren and Lúthien" - one of thee greatest love stories ever put to paper. I just hope one day we all get to see it, just as Peter Jackson has done with LotR. Smegal surviving and riding the boat... This one is beyond. I would guess Ilúvatar (supreme being) would allow him; as he's allowed "The Fellowship" to go to Valinor (The Undying Lands). But for Frodo - he actually claimed the ring and I think in doing so the ring 'imbedded itself within him' and started to corrupt him, just as it did Smegal. Then when the ring was destroyed, a very large part of him was destroyed too; this is part of the reason he left. Least we get to the wound he suffered on 'Weathertop' being stabbed by the WitchKing of Angmar which was virtually a deadly wound. Anyone whom strike's the Nazgul are stricken with a 'blight' of sorts that is almost deadly within itself. Pippen: He drops his Elven blade after striking the WitchKing. Eowyn: she drops her sword after striking the WitchKing in the face. What's not depicted in the movie is that the tip of the Morgal blade the WitchKing used broke off and entered Frodos' body, slowly working its' way to his heart; when it pierces his heart it will turn him into a wraith. That is also another reason why he left. For myself I love complex, intricate stories and a large number of characters. After reading The Silmarillion, The Hobbit and LotR I had found my home. This is also what drew me into "The Wheel of Time" book series! I found it at the store. Opened a random page, read a paragraph. Opened another random page and read another paragraph... "WHAT?" Opened another random page... Wow! Grabbed the 2nd book and did the same... Unbelievable! I walked out with the first 5 or 6 books! LOL I don't care for the Amazon TV series as it deviates from the books. It wasn't till Fellowship came out at the theaters that I actually read more about J.R.R. Tolkien. All of it started with a Poem of all things! That was back in the beginning of the year 1914. That's Eleventy-One (Hobbit joke) years ago, or almost. He made at least 15 languages for this world! My bad - for this Universe in which "Middle Earth" resides! Mind blown over and over again. I thank you and your team!

Riggo 82

No need to apologize for anything. I've been watching these films for 20 plus years now and I can't get them out of my mind either. And don't forget you still have the books to read, too. I think that you'll find them at once very similar, yet very different to the films. Just one suggestion. I would advise that you read "The Silmarillion", first. It's not a necessity, but it will give you a much richer understanding of Tolkien's universe. And I do mean universe. There are many rather obscure references to people, places, and events of the distant past which you won't fully understand until you read "The Silmarillion". I very much look forward to hearing your thoughts on the books. Especially now that you've seen the films.

Lukas

Thank you for everything you create. Thank you so much. Just one thing, is there any chance at all that you can make this video available to be downloaded from PAtreon? you mentioned in the past you had no idea that was an option. It makes it so much easier for a lot of people. If you are interested I found these step from Meta AI lol. It just makes it so much easier for me to match up your video with the movie version I have. A lot of creators do this. 2. Go to your Creator Dashboard. 3. Click "Posts" > select the video post. 4. Click "Edit" (pencil icon). 5. Scroll down to "Attachments". 6. Check "Allow patrons to download". 7. Save changes.

Kaleb Barker

My heart! It is so full right now! Life is hard. It hits you over the head and leaves you reeling in the gutter. Some days, you don't even want to get up in the morning. You do, and power on, because what else can you do? You know it isn't going to get better, but maybe you can soldier on long enough to make it to one of the days that make it all worth it. Today is one of those days. My soul is so full of joy. I love how much you loved these movies. They have such a special place in my heart, and it is such a pleasure to see someone just get it like you do. When the credits rolled, and you got annoyed with the app for interrupting your viewing, fixed it, and then just sat there and soaked it all in. I loved that. And then In to the West came in, and it all came together. The impact of the song, of its personal significance to you, of the last eleven plus hours of storytelling, the journey Frodo, Aragorn, all the heroes of this tale went through, the sacrifices they made, the hope they did not let die, it all played across your face in real time. And it was beautiful. What a way to usher in a new year! Thanks again, Teegan, for sharing this journey with us. We appreciate you! Have a Happy Birthday and a fantastic start to a brand new year!

Larry Darrell

Mr. Baldamort ain’t alone. ;-)

Larry Darrell

Couldn’t have said it better. 🙏

Lukas

Plus, the more people downplay the Hobbit movies, the more Teagan will have lower expectations and that can only mean a good thing for her future reactions. She may be pleasantly surprised :-)

Clay F

I've been using the free "Video DownloadHelper" (www.downloadhelper.net) installed as a Chrome extension to download her videos.

Lukas

Ok. Thanks Clay. I'll check it out. Edit: It worked perfectly. Thanks again

Skywhale

That's the extension I use on my Firefox. Been really handy.

MotoDork

With each subsequent viewing, these films get better and better, and your appreciation grows. I would HIGHLY recommend purchasing the extended editions on Blu-Ray so you can watch them any time you want. Also, you get all of the Appendices, which features hours and hours of behind the scenes making-of material. VERY worth watching.

gobmob2000

In the books it was the Nazgul who spread fear and doubt via a magical psychological attack, Peter Jackson used the scream to represent that on film

Dragonfly Dan

Wanting to erase your memory so you could experience it all again,... is exactly why we are all here. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Robert da Spruce

Happy Birthday Teagan! Wonderful reaction! Did you recognize the LOTR Funko Pop doll you bought? It was the Orc that came out in front of the Black Gate to negotiate 😊 Are you planning on watching the Hobbit? I wish you and your family all the best in the coming year!

Dan M

I’m completely blown away. This is by far the most extraordinary experience I’ve had watching ANY reaction video. I have not seen a reactor stay to watch the cast credits and listen to and sing along with Annie Lennox’s Into the West. Just amazing.

Blackeyedlily

When you read the books you will see that there is more going on with Denathor than the movies portray. He’s not a likable man, but his story is more complex. Plus he is a great foil to Theoden.

Ziro the Hutt

Nice. Thanks for that. With other reactors who use Youtube or Google Drive, I tend to download and create my own edits with the screen synched, for rewatches, but with this in-built player on Patreon, that doesn't always work, and my regular downloaders haven't worked, so I will try these!

Ziro the Hutt

Yes, I also think we'd be up for watching that alongside Teegan if she wanted to upload them, as they are a fantastic watch, and I know she'll get emotional about it!

Blackeyedlily

I’m glad that you picked up on the smile that Frodo gave as he was boarding the ship and turned back to look at his friends one last time. I think that Elijah Wood did a fantastic job of conveying how in that moment Frodo could begin to feel at peace again. Tolkien lost so many of his close personal friends in World War I. And he also saw the lifelong physical and mental effects that it had on so many members of his generation. I think that Frodo encapsulates that permanent damage that one would experience from such a profoundly evil burden that he had to carry. I also think that it is such a great aspect to the story that Gollum played such an integral part in the destruction of the ring. Tolkien said that nobody would have been able to willingly destroy the ring on their own. Frodo had the ability to get it to Mount Doom, but it had too much of a hold on him by then for him to destroy it. So when you go back and watch the first film again, that conversation between Gandalf and Frodo about Gollum will be that much more meaningful.

LiteWeight Gaming / Reacting

I have made the change but it does not look like it updated previous videos. Or maybe it just takes some times for it to be available on videos that have already posted!

Marc Post Jr

Absolutely, watched this during the transition to 2025, what better way to start off the new year with some Lord of the Rings 😄 Happy you enjoyed these films as much as you did

MotoDork

No that means I’m happy

Sam

I really appreciated the reaction to “Into the West” in the credits. Whenever I watch these movies, I also don’t want them to end and watch the credits 😅. It’s a great song that always makes me shed a tear. Awesome reaction. I’m excited to see your reaction to The Hobbit trilogy and anything else in the Tolkien universe. These stories are like nothing else and will always be special.

LiteWeight Gaming / Reacting

I have to say, watching this at the same time as Band of Brothers has been fantastic. The parallels are so evident!

LiteWeight Gaming / Reacting

I just purchased an extended edition box set that I spent way too much on but I’m so happy! The inside of the box set open up to be a map !

LiteWeight Gaming / Reacting

Kaleb reading this made me so happy and so proud at the same time! I’m so glad you got so much joy out of the movie and the reaction! Can’t wait to watch the Hobbit soon!

Fredrik IB

Wonderful reactions to all these videos from a new subscriber. Truly wonderful. There are so many special scenes, but i'd like to point out one of my favourite cinematic scenes of all time that's not always mentioned, namely the lighting of the beacons. The music and the shots of the mountains while the beacons keep getting lit genuinely moves me to a few tears every time.

MotoDork

Physical media will always be king.

David Trumble

It's been beautiful watching you fall in love with this world. I grew up on the street where Tolkein is buried in Oxford, England, and my father read my brother and I the books when we were young, so when I say this trilogy was basically our "Star Wars" I'm not exaggerating. Looking back, especially now that I'm in the industry, the sheer scope and filmmaking on display feels like a miracle. So many things could have gone wrong, so many bad decisions could have been made, and on top of that the books are so insanely dense I can't even imagine how even a gifted filmmaker could sit down to adapt it. And yet the trilogy exists, and it's as satisfying a rendition as any Tolkein aficionado could hope for. I will say one final thing, which is to address your sentiment that you wish you could have your memory wiped in order to watch the films again for the first time. I've felt that many times myself. But ironically...that's why reaction channels like this are so special. You get to re-experience that first feeling on someone eles's face. Do yourself a favour and check out some of your peers' videos, you'll experience every fist-pump and cry vicariously and feel something akin to that first discovery, through another person. For being that for us, thank you.

Ziro the Hutt

It so worth it still for films and series we treasure.

Ziro the Hutt

Yeah the films do go a bit heavy on him being a madman, but like with Saruman being corrupted with studying Sauron for thousands of years, its difficult to incorporate that into the story more, especially with everything else that needs to be done with conveying the story.

Ziro the Hutt

Every journey must come to an end, and what an ending it was. So many great moments, from the battles, to the characters and their story's here; the set pieces, the visuals, the music (superb throughout), the acting - the emotion. It was all there. Sure one or two bits don't quite work imo, the Denethor stuff goes on far too long, and Eowyn and Faramir feels unearned, though they work as a relationship being two lost souls; but that aside, Return Of The King is a masterpiece from start to finish. Got to start with the start, and the great Andy Serkis showing his acting chops all throughout, as Gollum. The man always delivers, and we have to remember at the time, CGI characters were in their infancy. Jar-Jar Binks in the Star Wars prequels was one of the first just two years before Fellowship was released (actually these films started production about 1997 if I recall), and he was terrible! So for a large part of the story to focus on such a character like Gollum - as it needed to, to help sell the love/hate relationship with the Ring, and the corruption it brings, it had to work; and boy it certainly did, and it changed how CGI characters were treated subsequently. Gollum is a real foe for Sam and Frodo, but as you say, if not for him then Frodo may have been lost for good. Speaking of Frodo, the line that always sticks to me is where he says "I don't think I'll be coming back". And though physically he does eventually, spiritually the journey took its toll on him. As you bring up, JRR Tolkien was a veteran of World War I, and saw the damage physically and psychologically it did to those who served, and thousands came back, never the same, and lived the remainder of their days, scarred. As a history teacher, I'm sure you've seen the old clips of the poor souls with "shell shock" from that War, which is just incredibly sad to see the uncontrollable fear and shaking they had (as an aside I've watched your Last Of Us 2 playthrough recently and we see the same thing with Ellie as her body breaks down due to the path she goes on in that story (and I hope you are covering the second season of that show soon!!)). The stab wound Frodo got on Weathertop is a reflection of his mind, so the only thing he could do, was move on "into the West", off to Valinor with the immortals. Only Ringbearers would be allowed there, on top of the Elves and Gandalf, so Bilbo and Frodo were given that high honour, and a chance to begin again - Bilbo enjoying a final adventure, and Frodo some peace. I think you said you are going to read the books, so you'll see the final outcome of the Fellowship outside of Frodo and Gandalf here, and perhaps a few others may mentions what happens, so I won't repeat that; but they all get fitting ends imo. That bit after King Elessar (Aragorn) gets Coronated, and the Hobbits bow to him, but he rebuffs them and says they bow to no one and kneels before them, is overwhelmingly emotional. These four little Hobbits, in their own way, made such an impact on the world, despite their size, and became honoured by all peoples. We hear each of them cast doubts on what they could do throughout this epic journey, but their actions and heart were second to none, which is a great lesson for anyone. Bring some joy or honesty to your fellows and you will be remembered fondly. On a similar note that you bring up, I love Eowyn, she is just so great. She is vulnerable, yet is a fierce warrior, is kind but takes no nonsense. Like the Hobbits she is constantly told she must stay back, alongside the women and children, to take no part in the War, yet that doesn't dissuade her. And she gets that great bit, where she is the only one on that battlefield, who could take out the Witch King. Its a brilliant moment. Unfortunately Tolkien then wrote that it was her brother played by Karl Urban, who gets to become King Of Rohan, when it would feel more justified imo, that she became its Queen. One thing that may need tying up for you is what happens to Saruman and Sauron. Sauron's spirit was tied to the Ring, and with it destroyed he can no longer become corporeal or gain power. In the same way, Saruman is from the same order of being as Sauron (a Maiar, which is like the angelic spirits you were dwelling on with Gandalf in Two Towers), who as a Wizard, took the form of an old man, who still needs to eat and sleep, though is ageless like the Elves. However that body can be broken, so after Grima Wormtongue murders his body, his spirit and Sauron's both wander the Earth for all time, powerless and impotent - which is perhaps a fate worse than death for both. Anyway I'm blabbing on here. This was wonderful to see you find out for yourself, just why these books and films (which were deemed unfilmable for decades before this attempt) are so beloved. It doesn't feel like nearly 25 years since Fellowship was released thats for sure. We may age, but these films will always be timeless, just like many of the greats of yesteryear. Its been great to see how you came to grips with this behemoth of a world, and this epic story, and see how you are now a huge fan of Middle Earth! Thanks Teegan, happy New Year!

David Stivers

“You bow to no one” makes me weep every time. Again! You point out MY favorite scenes, quotes, and characters. You caught EVERYTHING I hoped you’d catch. Wanting to experience this from the beginning as we did the first time is the reason I watch all these reactors. You by far have been the best reaction I’ve ever seen. Thank you for enjoying this as much as we do and for taking us along to re-experience the absolute joy of discovering this masterpiece.

JeRon Washington

Teegan, if your gonna watch a movie that's gonna make you cry, you shouldn't wear eyeliner. I'm glad you enjoyed it

Anton Agassi

Heartbreaking fact about the scene where Frodo says goodbye to Sam, Merry and Pippin. It was the last shot they filmed together, so the tears you see on screen are very real 😭 However it gets even worse! Imagine sobbing all day while saying goodbye to some of your closest friends that you have been on set, creating unforgettable memories for over 3 years, just to find out at the end that Pippin had a (very modern looking) pen in his coat pocket! They had to film it all again the next day! IT GETS WORSE!!!! That footage was corrupt so they had to scrap it and film it all again for a 3rd day in a row 😭😭😭😭😭

Kevin Hooper

It’s been a joy to experience this beloved trilogy with you. These movies were mine and my two brother’s Christmas presents to each other the three years they were first released. I look forward to watching more movies with you in the future. Take care!

Tyrant Balrog

Wonderful reaction. I particularly enjoyed you staying for into the west and the credits, it’s something many reactors failed to do, and you lived that moment, it was genuine and personal, thank you for inviting us in. The amazing thing is that you’ve witnessed 1% of the history of middle earth in this story. The song Aragorn sings, of Beren and Luthien, is a story. The star that Sam sees on Mount Doom.. is the same one that gives Galadriel’s phial its light. And is Elrond’s father. 🫣 It’s all there, all created. The Hobbit and Rings of Power are certainly a different vibe. But that does not mean they are inherently bad. They are just not masterpieces, but enjoy them for what they are. “The journey does not end here, finishing the movies is just another path, one that we all must take.” 🫶

Tara ✨💫

Hi Lite, have you seen Game of Thrones? If not, it might be something you would be interested in since you liked this world so much. I would happily rewatch it with you. Like LOTR, it takes place in a fantasy world with a map of cities and different countries. The map changes as the characters travel through the world. You’d even recognize someone from this franchise.

James O'Sullivan

Really enjoyed watching along with your reaction. Hope you enjoy the books, can I highly recommend the BBC Radio Dramatisation when you're done. There's a reason Ian Holme plays Bilbo in these films, beyond being a great actor; he was Frodo in the radio version.

Myth Oceanas

In the books Denathor II is one of the best non core characters. He had was a very good ruler and had more will power to resist Sauron than Theoden or Saruman. He was very intelligent and loved by his people in the beginning but he was mentally worn down over his life. They leave out the effect the Palantir and death of wife had on him completely. He is the reason Minas Tirith was prepared for the siege and increased the strength and size of the army drastically in preparation. Hearing the horn of Gondor during the Fellowship of the Ring and then later learning of Boromir's death broke him the rest of the way. And it wasn't until Sauron finally was able to finally break him in the battle and trick him into thinking the Black Fleet and Theoden's army were enemy reinforcements instead of allies that he finally completely gives up. If you take out his actions towards the end, he is one of the great unsung hero's of the War of the Rings. Also, I believe it was Boromir's storyline in the book that opposed the Return of the King and Denathor was far less opposed to it as it appears int he films.

Beautiful reaction, perfectly authentic. I have seen them many times, and feel the same emotions still, each time. And yes, the extended versions are FAR superior. The books will make you love Aragorn, Faramir, and Gandalf even more. They did some things in the films with those characters which are a little disappointing. For instance, Gandalf’s power relative to the Witch King of Angmar. And Aragorn’s life of real purpose. Still, I LOVE these films and watch them probably at least every year, sometimes more. Be sure to read the Silmarillion as well. Epic.

Read the books and read the appendices, if you have any other questions about Lord of the rings after reading then it's safe to use your imagination to finish the thoughts as you see fit. There is also a guy on you tube called "In Deep Geek" and I'm sure his videos could answer just about every question you have that hasn't already been answered. Great reaction and hope to see things like this soon!

Is this the extended version? The reaction title doesn’t say like the first 2 movies

For me, when sam is looking at frodo put the ring on inside mount doom, this is sam saying "oh no now i gotta kill my best friend and i just went through all this with him i cannot do it this is too much, please frodo dont do this and make me kill u" when he thought frodo was dead by shelob or when stabbed on mountaintop, sam says "please mr frodo dont go where i cant follow"....but in this moment in mt doom, now his reaction is "dont make me go there and kill you where i cant be followed there is no coming back from this for me please dont because i will have to" Anyway, This to me is a very understated moment but I feel the looks in the scene captures this moment even if it was for just a second...so when you talk about the "little things" being addressed these "little things" you referr to are/can actually be some big things in a little moment and i just live to love that... ( this is Sam's story- his whole arc- and is at the center of lotr. Sam is the audience/readers moral center. Sam is our r2d2 and I have always felt the story is from his point of view with moments like this for example...) Longest post ever...I apologize. Love u guys...

The Rings of Power is an abomination, I wouldn't waste your time watching it. The Hobbit trilogy had too much studio interference, but is still a decent watch (there fan edits out there that do it justice).

I subscribed just to watch this reaction. Some of the best money ever spent. That was awesome!

I just need to tell you how much of a joy it was to watch these movies with you. I was introduced to the books (and then movies) at such a young age that I honestly can't remember the first time. They've just always been part of my life. Seeing you fall in love with this universe, the characters, and their journey made me feel like I was experiencing it all for the first time again. The magic just felt so beautiful. Thank you so much 🥹❤️
