I was in high school when this movie came out, and it was the first big event movie where I was old enough to properly appreciate that by seeing it in the theater, I was part of something historic. One other thing to keep in mind is that 9/11 had just been a few months earlier, and spending three hours in this fantasy world that was brought to life so beautifully was exactly what a lot of people needed.

I know it's probably said at the start of the video but I'm on my way home at the moment...is this the extended version reaction or standard version?

I'm probably in a minority that prefers the first watch being the standard edition rather than extended. There are some fantastic scenes added in and it's well worth watching it again on your own time, but honestly there's also some really goofy ones and I feel like the opening of this movie especially flows a lot better in the standard edition. The reason I see the Hobbits as being less corruptible is because the ring plays on your ambitions in order to control you, making you think you can get what you want if you go along with what it wants. This doesn't work with Hobbits as they are such simple creatures who are perfectly happy farming, eating, drinking and occasionally letting off some fireworks. Other creatures have much higher ambitions - dwarves all want riches, men all want power, elves want...who the hell knows.

Your initial viewing of the trilogy sounds remarkably similar to mine. I was ten when Fellowship came out and although I liked certain aspects of it, it just wasn't my cup of tea back then. I revisited the trilogy around the time the Hobbit trilogy was completed and watched all six films back to back and have loved them ever since. Strangely enough I don't really have a favorite film of the series, I seem to like each of the films equally. In regards to your question as to when Saruman became evil, there are differing interpretations. Tolkien's writings state that by the time of the events of the Hobbit, Saruman has already fallen to the dark side. In the films Sir Christopher Lee portrayed Saruman as still being on the side of good during the Hobbit trilogy and his becoming a villain transpired between the two trilogies, presumably during his quest to vanquish Sauron. I personally favor the latter interpretation. I can never not cry at Gandalf's death, the scenes between Sam and Frodo at the end, and Boromir's final stand which is where I break down weeping every time I see it. I swear Sean Bean does not get nearly enough credit for just how good he is, here especially. I loved your reaction to this and I can't wait for your reactions to the next two. I'll say it again: have tissues on stand by.

Awesome reaction! R.I.P. Gandalf!

To answer your question about "the other hobbit," Sean Astin started as a child actor in the '80s, and has been in the likes of The Goonies, The War of the Roses, Encino Man, Rudy, Wag the Dog, and 50 First Dates. But you probably best recognize him as Bob from Stranger Things.

Also, some people don't really understand the relationship between Sam and Frodo and the amount of respect Sam has for him. And that's partly due to the casting. Sean Astin is quite a bit older than Elijah Wood, whereas in the books, Sam is much younger than Frodo and looks up to him. Frodo is also viewed as an intellectual - a rarity among Hobbits, and nephew of the famous Bilbo Baggins.

Aw bless your soul I felt so bad watching you see Gandalf die! I had a feeling you'll gravitate toward the Sam and Frodo bond so I'm defo excited to see the reactions to the next film :) I'm glad you decided to react to these after The Hobbit. I do really like the Hobbit films but these will always hold a special place in my heart
