One of my fave movies period! "That still only counts as one!" is my fave quote 😂 followed by "I am no man!"(Eowyn is so badass and forever my fave female in the story) and when Aragon says to the hobbits "You bow to no man" and everyone bow to them. ❤️ I also love that Pippin help save Faramirs life by realising he is not dead and go get Gandalf. And his singing is wonderful.❤️

Really enjoyed watching this franchise with you. Also forgot the ending was 1 hour long haha

YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY DONE IT, YOU FINISHED THE GREATEST TRILOGY IN CINEMA HISTORY !!! 🥳🥳 so I was kinda lying about elaborating on the Undying Lands bc of the weight of Arwen’s decision to stay or go The Clash style, it was most definitely a spoiler-free elaboration for how Frodo’s story ended 😭 “the last pages are for you Sam” as in the last pages of Frodo’s life, the last pages of what’s left behind of Frodo, IS FOR SAM LET’S WRAP IT THE FUCK UP RN ✋🏻😭😭😭 rewatching this one had me tearing up almost the whole way through then predictably bawling like a baby by the end of it. yk the eagle Gandalf’s riding picks up Frodo, the second eagle picks up Sam and the third eagle doesn’t pick anyone up?? I don’t think it’s canon or anything but there’s a theory that third eagle was meant for Sméagol ☹️ the way he held the ring up so it would “live” just those few seconds longer when he was literally melting in lava ☹️ Faramir’s entire life being in the shadow of Boromir literally even after Boromir was killed ☹️ but, THE BEACON’S ARE LIT, GONDOR CALLS FOR EAT 🗣️🗣️ and the music in this franchise is fucking insane, cannot recommend the scores ENOUGH!! this one’s so hype and so emotional it’s off the scale, every rewatch just goes CRAZY honestly, I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed this journey so much and that was so clear in your videos on it! 😁 absolutely loved seeing you experience these amazing films for the first time 🩷 cant wait to see what you think of The Hobbit !!! 🤩

I really enjoyed your reaction to the LOTR trilogy! Yours has become my favorite reaction channel. Not sure how far "retro" you like to go, but the Merlin (BBC) series remains one of my all-time favorites. It seems like something you'd really like. It was sort of the "modest-budget, family-friendly" precursor to GOT. In fact, quite a few cast members ended up on GOT eventually. Young Merlin and Arthur are like polar opposites, yet they develop an endearing bromance through all five seasons. The wonky, early, TV-level CGI is easy to ignore since the story, acting, sets and locations, and even the musical score, are all quite good.

This was so much fun to rewatch with you! One of my favorite stories of all time. I recommend reading the books, they're even better, if you can believe that.

You are now officially part of the family. Have some lembas. I’m going to save most of my comments for YouTube because writing them in Patreon is really annoying—but I’ll leave a few now. Your reactions are always enjoyable. I’m not just saying that, that’s from experience over time. You’re consistently good, fun, enjoyable, charming. What’s not to love! The LOTR movie is a *good* adaptation. The Hobbit movie isn’t. The problem is fundamental at the screenplay level. As the movies progress they resemble the book less and less. If you want an expanded interpretation of Tolkien’s story not meant to be a faithful telling of the tale that’s one thing—but if it’s supposed to be a faithful adaptation of Tolkien’s book, nope. (Actually the first movie isn’t bad; it goes off the rails with the next two.) The LOTR scene with Gandalf & the witch king Nazgûl was absurd, contrary to what’s known about the characters and (need I say it?) not in the book. Denethor’s behavior can be explained in large part by the fact that he had the Minas Anor Palantír, dared to use it, and was ensnared by Sauron (just as happened to Saruman). Sauron showed Denethor what he chose, carefully curated to instill despair and weaken his will. Sauron learned these skills at the side of his master, Morgoth. In a word, through the Palantír Sauron drove Denethor mad. His actions were horrific—but he was yet another victim of Sauron’s evil and should be seen that way.

If you love Tolkien’s world, read the books. Start with The Hobbit (which was meant to be read aloud—if there’s someone of the right age…) then the LOTR. Then there’s a bunch more but it comes with provisos. The LOTR is set at the end of the 3rd age. Makes you wonder what happened before? Or in the second & first age? Before that? These questions have answers, sometimes stunningly beautiful—but incomplete. Unfinished. That’s the rub. But how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go you can decide as you read on. The writing in the LOTR is beautiful. Compelling, tight, skillful. A little help with the names up front might be suitable (“C”s always sound like “K”) but there’s time for that.

Why were there three eagles at the end? Because Gandalf assumed, thought - hoped - that he would also be rescuing a redeemed Sméagol. Alas...

DSJ.

Yeah, the Witch King vs. Gandalf bit is the only real flaw in all three movies for me.

My favourite LOTR character, book and film, is Théoden. He has such good development. From puppet of Saruman to true leader of the Rohirrim. He feels so insecure for so long, which Saruman picks up on - 'you are the lesser son of greater sires' - but then he goes on to conquer his prejudices and his anger to come to the aid of Gondor, and then proceeds to give one of the greatest battle speeches of all time, leading his men from the front, being in the thick of battle. Dying in the thick of battle. There's a real similarity and contrast between Théoden and Denethor, the leaders of Rohan and Gondor, respectively. They've both lost a son, they've both led kingdoms that have suffered, but one is a corrupted madman and the other is, ultimately, a great leader and a good man. One sits high up in his halls and tries to burn his still-living son, while the other stands with his men and fights alongside them, his life in as much danger as theirs. One dismisses and mocks a hobbit, the other raises a hobbit up (and the only reason the latter rejects the hobbit as a warrior, along with his niece, is out of fear for their lives and the greater good - while the former recklessly sends his son to near-certain death before attempting, in the midsts of delusion, to burn him alive, and throws a hobbit out of a crematory because of his own, mad ego.) One burns to death, with a flicker of remembrance; the other dies bravely, held by his loving niece, knowing - remembering - full well what it all means. The Ride of the Rohirrim/Théoden's speech scene is almost a direct translation from the book. The fear on Théoden's face at the sight of the army that they face, then the resolve, the adamantine resolve, and the decision to face up to that fear, to go forth and meet it. I've always been able to picture this scene directly, from film to book, from book to film - a perfect piece of adaptation. From the book: "After a while the king led his men away somewhat east-ward, to come between the fires of the siege and the outer fields. Still they were unchallenged, and still Théoden gave no signal. At last he halted once again. The City was now nearer. A smell of burning was in the air and a very shadow of death. The horses were uneasy. But the king sat upon Snowmane, motionless, gazing upon the agony of Minas Tirith, as if stricken suddenly by anguish, or by dread. He seemed to shrink down, cowed by age. Merry himself felt as if a great weight of horror and doubt had settled on him. His heart beat slowly. Time seemed poised in uncertainty. They were too late! Too late was worse than never! Perhaps Théoden would quail, bow his old head, turn, slink away to hide in the hills. Then suddenly Merry felt it at last, beyond doubt: a change. Wind was in his face! Light was glimmering. Far, far away, in the South the clouds could be dimly seen as remote grey shapes, rolling up, drifting: morning lay beyond them. But at that same moment there was a flash, as if lightning had sprung from the earth beneath the City. For a searing second it stood dazzling far off in black and white, its topmost tower like a glittering needle; and then as the darkness closed again there came rolling over the fields a great *boom*. At that sound the bent shape of the king sprang suddenly erect. Tall and proud he seemed again; and rising in his stirrups he cried in a loud voice, more clear than any there had ever heard a mortal man achieve before: 'Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden! Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter! spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!' With that he seized a great horn from Guthláf his banner-bearer, and he blew such a blast upon it that it burst asunder. And straightway all the horns in the host were lifted up in music, and the blowing of the horns of Rohan in that hour was like a storm upon the plain and a thunder in the mountains. 'Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!' Suddenly the king cried to Snowmane and the horse sprang away. Behind him his banner blew in the wind, white horse upon a field of green, but he outpaced it. After him thundered the knights of his house, but he was ever before them. Éomer rode there, the white horsetail on his helm floating in his speed, and the front of the first éored roared like a breaker foaming to the shore, but Théoden could not be overtaken. Fey he seemed, or the battle-fury of his fathers ran like new fire in his veins, and he was borne up on Snowmane like a god of old, even as Orome the Great in the battle of the Valar when the world was young. His golden shield was uncovered, and lo! it shone like an image of the Sun, and the grass flamed into green about the white feet of his steed. For morning came, morning and a wind from the sea; and darkness was removed, and the hosts of Mordor wailed, and terror took them, and they fled, and died, and the hoofs of wrath rode over them. And then all the host of Rohan burst into song, and they sang as they slew, for the joy of battle was on them, and the sound of their singing that was fair and terrible came even to the City." (The comparison to Orome the Great - one of the Valar - always gets me, and I always think of it when I see the scene in the film. This old man, this old warrior, so scarred and terrified and uncertain, rising up to the level of a god, charging upon his horse into very hell, fearless.) And in the end, Théoden transcends his insecurities. 'I go to my fathers, in whose mighty company I shall not now feel ashamed.' What a completion of a character arc! In short, and as ever, Saruman was so, so wrong.

Much better in the book, when Gandalf and the Witch King are interrupted by the horns of Rohan as they're about to start fighting. None of that Gandalf-being-easily-defeated stuff. (The movie is almost a direct translation from the book in terms of sequence and dialogue - alas!) Viz: "Then the Black Captain rose in his stirrups and cried aloud in a dreadful voice, speaking in some forgotten tongue words of power and terror to rend both heart and stone. Thrice he cried. Thrice the great ram boomed. And suddenly upon the last stroke the Gate of Gondor broke. As if stricken by some blasting spell it burst asunder: there was a flash of searing lightning, and the doors tumbled in riven fragments to the ground. In rode the Lord of the Nazgûl. A great black shape against the fires beyond he loomed up, grown to a vast menace of despair. In rode the Lord of the Nazgûl, under the archway that no enemy ever yet had passed, and all fled before his face. All save one. There waiting, silent and still in the space before the Gate, sat Gandalf upon Shadowfax: Shadowfax who alone among the free horses of the earth endured the terror, unmoving, steadfast as a graven image in Rath Dinen. 'You cannot enter here,' said Gandalf, and the huge shadow halted. 'Go back to the abyss prepared for you! Go back! Fall into the nothingness that awaits you and your Master. Go!' The Black Rider flung back his hood, and behold! he had a kingly crown; and yet upon no head visible was it set. The red fires shone between it and the mantled shoulders vast and dark. From a mouth unseen there came a deadly laughter. 'Old fool!' he said. 'Old fool! This is my hour. Do you not know Death when you see it? Die now and curse in vain!' And with that he lifted high his sword and flames ran down the blade. Gandalf did not move. And in that very moment, away behind in some courtyard of the City, a cock crowed. Shrill and clear he crowed, recking nothing of wizardry or war, welcoming only the morning that in the sky far above the shadows of death was coming with the dawn. And as if in answer there came from far away another note. Horns, horns, horns. In dark Mindolluin's sides they dimly echoed. Great horns of the North wildly blowing. Rohan had come at last."

Man, I haven't cried this much to LOTR since it came out 😭 Somehow, watching it "with" you and your commentaries did something 🙏🏻 I was bawling my eyes out the last like 20 mins 🥹 Sometimes I'm thinking maybe I should stop paying for Patreon, cos I don't watch *a lot* of your content. But when I do it's always brilliant 👏🏼 and I'm reminded why I support you with a sub. They are always worth it 🙏🏻🙌🏻✨️ Can't wait for The Hobbit 😄

Now that you've fallen in love with Sam, watch the second season of Stranger Things again. Bob's death is devastating enough, but when you can see Sam too, it's even worse. Rivers of tears!

I was fortunate enough to see three of the four hobbits at a ComicCon in Germany last year. Unfortunately, Sean Astin (Sam) had to cancel due to filming commitments. The three were very likable, and even now, more than 20 years after LOTR, they remain close friends with each other and the other actors from the film series. In fact, Dominic Monaghan (Merry) and Billy Boyd (Pippin) are so close that they did publish a podcast together a few years back. They have also just completed another project: a series called 'Billy & Dom Eat the World', in which the two explore the world and its culinary diversity. Dominic and Billy were so excited about the show that they even connected Dominic's phone to the convention equipment to show us the trailer. This year Sylvester McCoy (Radagast), Manu Bennet (Azog), and Richard Armitage (Thorin) from the Hobbit trilogy have been announced as guests.

I found you while watching another of your reviews and enjoyed it so much I decided to watch your take on LOTR which is brilliant. I’m 68 yo and love movies so much I’ve seen thousands from the “AFI Top 100”, dramas, comedies, sci-fi, fantasy… you get the idea. LOTR is my favorite of all time, seen them hundreds of times (at least once a year), I love them so much they are my go-to when I’m sick in bed 🫠 I’m very grateful to you for your beautiful review, I cried just as much as you did an in the same parts. I’m also very glad you loved them too. Lastly, the Hobbit trilogy is also great and I’m sure you will like them too so that will be my next watch “with” you. Unlike other people I also loved the tv series and can’t understand why some dislike it. Taking place during the First & Second age the episodes production costs are $10M each so they are well made. People complain of storyline but you have to remember they are not based on completed & published Tolkien books so parts of it are new writing. I think most people that don’t like them are purists which I’m not, I just enjoy a good story. I recommend you try the first episode to see if you like it. Wishing you the best! 😊
