I was wondering when this was coming out 😭 I’ve been watching the boys in the mean time!

I let my patient go into cardiac arrest to watch this!! Lessssssgooooo!!

This drop had Gandalf timing

Call me Lilly, Lilith if ya Nasty.

What Dwarf men find attractive about Dwarf women is that they are Dwarf women. That you don't see it is completely irrelevant. >xD

Alejandro Rosiles

Did a part of video get edited out? There's a whole section missing.

Call me Lilly, Lilith if ya Nasty.

Helm's deep is a much better fortress, which is why they're not permanently living there. It is a Fortress, not a livable city like their capital was.

Call me Lilly, Lilith if ya Nasty.

Well that's dissapointing. The playback skips ahead from Pippen's speach to the siege of Osgiliath, completely skipping the scene where Gimli get's tossed.

Just a heads up. There's a small section of the reaction missing at 1:27:46

Joel

Yea

Kamil Siuda

Something is fucked with this version - it lacks about 20 min of footage.

Teth

It seems like we're missing a chunk of the movie around the 1:30 mark? After the ents decide not to help. I know it happens sometimes when the files corrupt, but not sure if it's intentional or not.

Kyle Komperda

Noticed that to a bit of the battle scene

Theoden is probably my favourite after Boromir because they're both such complex characters. They're flawed, but also trying their best to protect others in the hopeless situation they're in. When he said the old alliances are dead, he wasn't wrong. The only ones they could really call on for help was Gondor, and they're busy dealing with attacks from Mordor. They weren't expecting elves, and certainly not trees. But Bernard Hill is a fantastic actor. The way he carries himself and delivers his lines exudes that nobility of spirit you expect from a king of old. And there are some dwarf women in the Hobbit trilogy, beards and all. They're plenty cute despite the facial hair 😄

The horse that saved Aragorn was the same horse that he calmed and set free before they left Edoras. It used to belong the King Thèoden's son🙂

Elves are indeed immortal, Elrond is thousands of years old. They can be killed however😅

When Gollum/Smeagol are going back and forth seamlessly that was actually all done in one shot with Andy Serkis switching back and forth like that in real time. I dunno, always impressed me how he can switch his emotions and voices like that instantly. Also, the issue with Elrond not wanting his daughter to go with Aragorn is not because he doesn't want her to get married or anything like that, it's that if she goes with him then she forfeits going to live with the rest of the elves. This means he won't see her again and she will live with grief, after Aragorn finally dies, for eternity. But if she goes with the elves or if she liked some handsome elf, her father would be fine with that because at least he gets to see her and what not.

My guess was always that that's the reason, why Dwarfs (Dwarves?) drink so much.

Did you notice the guy shouting and throwing the spear? That was Peter Jackson the director😀

Mister_Bleak

i was just about to mention the same. glad others caught it

Relations between Gondor and Rohan are strained at this point. And over the course of decades of war Both Rohan and Gondor has been weakened, as you saw Osgiliath is only just holding. And to top that off the "King" of Gondor(the steward), is Boromir and Faramir's father. Who you saw isn't exactly too reliable, at least not anymore😅

Mister_Bleak

another great one to watch. love the shirt btw. only complaint is that there is a chunk missing...apparently a sizeable chunk. don't know how they persuaded the ents to help. don't know what happens between the breaking of the wall at helm's deep and the next morning. just kinda skips that. how's that keep happening? usually the chunks missing aren't that sizeable, but i know it's been brought up a few times before....

I’ve also wondered why Helm’s Deep wasn’t a permanent residence, and I think is the location. No farmable land nearby, just a fortress carved from rock

Arwen gives up immortality for her love. But the bigger sacrifice is knowing she could outlive Aragorn by ages.

William P. Esping

Elves can’t die of old age. They can die but only if killed

Susan B

The reason why the race of Men in Tolkien’s world are so easily tempted by power is that they envy the immortality of Elves. When the gods created them, they considered mortality to be a gift to Men. They wouldn’t have to experience the exhaustion of never finding a final sleep. But Men rebelled.

Susan B

I love Theoden’s complexity.

The Wilhelm Scream makes itself heard in these films at least twice. 😀

Susan B

Mr Boyd, there’s a key piece of the trees’ story missing. In brief, Pippin and Merry find a way to show Treebeard what Saruman has done to the forests around his tower, and Treebeard calls his people to war.

Susan B

I hated the way Sméagol was brutalized. He was built like a miniature greyhound, and got kicked and pummeled and bashed against stone walls. No wonder his Gollum side took over again. What a performance by Andy Serkis as Gollum/Sméagol, though. It has to be extraordinarily challenging to take on a roll where you won’t get the recognition of the actors whose faces are on-screen.

Susan B

I always wondered why they freed the horse with a bridle and rope.

Susan B

The solemn speeches remind me that Tolkien was writing as a veteran of “the meat grinder” battles of WWI. My paternal grandfather was awarded the Croix de Guerre for his service in that war, but he didn’t talk about his heroism, sinking into despair and dying in his 40s because of all that he had seen and done. They weren’t very much advanced from Civil War methods but they had chemical weapons, and used them. “How has it come to this?” says Theoden, and I imagine so many men in bloody trenches asking that.

Mike

The elves are immortal. Which makes their aid at Helms Deep even more spectacular. To risk your immortality by dying in battle... Puts a new perspective on sacrifice.

Susan B

“What’s taters, precious?” I want that on a tshirt.

Camille

Both happy and sad that you recognized John Noble who is the mad professor and father in Fringe, because that means that you must have seen it already. Was hoping for a reaction. :) One of the best shows ever imo. And John Noble absolutely spectacular in that role.

Susan B

Did we see Forehead Elf get killed? I know there’s some Ent footage missing but did I miss the part where the elf dies in battle?

MRLBOYD

I watched the whole movie. I think the video didn't render properly or something weird happened. I wasn't aware that some part/s were missing.

Susan B

They’ll be fine, probably. 😀

Susan B

I agree about Theoden and Boromir. Both are trying to save their people against insurmountable odds. From Boromir’s perspective, what real chance was there that Frodo would be able to destroy the Ring? Boromir had been battling the Orcs in territory near Mordor; he knew some of what lay ahead for Frodo. Without a belief in miracles, Boromir was left having to choose to let the Ring go to Sauron, or to take it himself.

Scott Asher

Fringe is very underrated - great show!

Susan B

No worries. It was a pretty dramatic moment when High Forehead Elf met his maker, because as someone else pointed out here, that moment reminds viewers that the elves who died in this battle could have been sailing off to the Undying Lands to enjoy their immortality but they risked death instead.

Susan B

A minor thing that annoyed me when I first saw the film: at the start of the battle, Legolas says to the archer standing beside him, “Their armor is weakest at the neck and beneath the arm.” Isn’t that something you’d want to announce to every archer instead of just that one guy? 😎

Susan B

So they’re standing on the battlements facing 10,000 orcs and it starts raining. I always think of the grave robbing scene in Young Frankenstein. “Could be worse,” says Marty Feldman as Igor. “Could be raining,”

Teth

Also most people who watch the movies now hardly notice it's the elf from Lothlorien, but for those of us who had been obsessing over FotR for a year before TT dropped, it was all "No! Not Haldir!" 😂

Susan B

How could anyone forget the height of that forehead? I never remember his name, just his face.

Tron

There was no way King Theoden could have gotten help in time. The other kingdoms were several days ride away. It was already too late by the time they realized the army would be there by nightfall. It wasn’t due to his pride. Plus there’s no way they would have helped anyway. He was just being realistic.

Weeeeee AREEEE NOOTTTT a TREEEEE, We are Ents - Treebeard.
