Lol, this too: John Rhys Davies is very good at accents. In fact, I know two South African women who do AMAZING Scottish accents (and Brooklyn New York and Indian and German and Russian and British and American South and... and... and...!!)

Awesome reaction. I really enjoyed it. Although I love Star Wars the Lord of the Rings is better in my opinion. It gets the viewer more involved emotionally. I really hope you watch the Hobbit movies soon. They are for a slightly younger audience (like the book) but I am sure you will love them. Valinor was the home of the Valar. Although the Elves were first awakened in Middle-Earth the Valar saw them as a race above the others and thought that they would fare better if they lived in the Blessed Realm of Valinor with them. They extended an invitation to the Elves to join them in Valinor, and those who accepted were called the Eldar (or "high Elves") and those who chose to stay were known as the Avari (The Unwilling). The Eldar lived in peace in Valinor until Morgoth stole from the Elves and killed one of their leaders. Many Elves decided it was time to exile themselves from Valinor and wage war against him across the ocean in Middle-Earth. After he was defeated, many Elves went back to the blessed lands, but some, including Galadriel, chose to stay. The Valar gave the Elves that stayed in Middle-Earth a desire buried deep within them - that could arise at any time – to return to Valinor. This mostly bubbled up when the Elves were overcome with the fear of "fading", which was a death-like fate that Elves could encounter if they spent too long in Middle-earth. Only Immortal beings were allowed in Valinor, but with special permission from the Valar, Frodo and Bilbo were permitted to go to there. Saruman knew the Ents existed, however, it had been really long, maybe hundreds of years, since he stepped out of the safety of Orthanc, meaning that he hadn't met or seen an Ent for a very very long time. Over time Saruman forgot about their existence since he had other important things to think of. I don't think he gave Ents the respect or admiration they deserved. John Rhys-Davies is Welsh but did put on a Scottish scent for his role as Gimli. Tolkien wrote the story for the people of Britain as a way to help them remember and pass on the myths, legends, folklore and fairy tales associated with Britain. He associated certain races and characters in his stories with certain people in Britain. The Dwarves of Middle-Earth live under mountains mining precious metals and stones, and since the biggest mountains are in Scotland Tolkien gave the Dwarves specific characteristics of the Scottish including the accent. Sméagol and Déagol were Stoor hobbits that lived on the banks of the Anduin River. Déagol was the cousin and best friend of Sméagol until his discovery of the Ring. Sméagol used the Ring for thieving, spying and antagonising his friends and relatives, who nicknamed him "Gollum" for the swallowing noise he made in his throat until his grandmother disowned him. He wandered in the wilderness for a few years until he finally retreated to a deep cavern in the Misty Mountains. The Ring's malignant influence twisted his body and mind and prolonged his life well beyond its natural limits. In my comment for The Rings of Power, I mentioned the Ainur (Valar and Maiar). Gandalf is a Maiar (what we would call an Angel). After defeating the Balrog in Moria Gandalf the Grey died but was sent back to complete his task to aid the Free Peoples against the threat of Sauron. Gandalf was several thousand years old. Gandalf was one of five Maiar spirits known as the Istari (Order of Wizards). The others were Saruman the White, Radagast the Brown, and two unnamed Blue Wizards (although only Gandalf and Saruman are involved in the story). The Balrog was also a Maiar, one that originally served Morgoth, therefore was a being similar to a demon. The palantíri (sometimes translated as "Seeing Stones") were stones that could be used in communication with one another, and also to see many things across the face of the world. When its master looked in it, he could communicate with other Stones and anyone who might be looking into them; people of great power can manipulate the Stones to see virtually any part of the world. There were originally seven stones but one by one many stones vanished from public knowledge or were lost. Elves are immune to most diseases and illnesses and all but the strongest poisons. This also provides them with a high tolerance to alcohol. Lord Denethor (Steward of Gondor) really did have a hatred of Faramir. Denethor’s hatred of Faramir actually started at the beginning of Faramir’s life. Finduilas, the steward’s wife, became ill shortly after Faramir’s birth. That was before Denethor went mad, and his wife’s death took an emotional toll that he never really recovered from. The problem was the timing. Denethor assumed that her death was the result of birth-related complications, so he blamed Faramir for killing her. The orc-general with the misshapen face and physical disabilities was Gothmog. He was given the position of general due to having above-average intelligence for an Orc. The battering ram was called Grond. Grond was said to be 60 feet high, 150 feet long, and as thick around as an enormous tree, making it much larger than any other such battering ram in Middle-earth. It had a head in the shape of a ravening wolf and fire burned in its great maw. It was operated by a team of great beasts, escorted by a band of Orcs, and several Trolls were needed to utilize it. It had dark magic spells cast upon it which often caused the creatures pulling it to go mad. The giant spider was Shelob. Shelob is a demon in the form of a giant spider. Although she resided in Mordor and was unrepentantly evil, she was independent of Sauron and his influence. Shelob is very ancient. Shelob's appearance in Peter Jackson's film trilogy was based on the New Zealand tunnel-web spider. Éomer and Éowyn are brother and sister. King Théoden is their Uncle who raised them after their parents died. Gimli was part of a group of Dwarves that travelled to the Council of Elrond in Rivendell from the Kingdom under the mountain in the land of Erebor. He volunteered to be part of the Fellowship but the Dwarves as a whole have the reputation of being greedy, self-centred beings who only care for riches. Because of this, many assume that their absence from The Lord of the Rings means they refused to help with the battle against Sauron. However, this is far from the truth, as the Dwarven kingdoms were busy fighting one of the largest battles of the entire war, leaving only Gimli to aid the race of men. In the books, after the Dwarves refused to cooperate with Sauron, he sent legions to attack the Dwarven kingdoms. With Sauron sending his largest army (the humans known as Easterlings) to take on the Dwarves, he likely thought the battle would be over swiftly. But with Dwarves keeping the Easterlings distracted for the entire duration of the war, it meant they couldn't return to defend Mordor, which gave Aragorn enough confidence to distract Sauron at the Black Gate and allowed Frodo to enter Mount Doom undetected. If you watched and enjoyed The Hunt for Gollum (which I provided a link to in my Fellowship of the Ring comment) there is another fan film called Born of Hope (2009 71 minutes) which is about Aragorn's parents: youtu.be/qINwCRM8acM

Perfect map. lol. Can't wait for The Hobbit!

I’m not done the reaction but just got to the part you talk about Denothor having one of the “balls”. They are known as Palantir or Seeing Stones. What’s crazy is although not shown in the movies, in the books he actually does have one, and he is very much being manipulated by Sauron because of that. Really good of you to pick up on that. I feel Denothor although never likeable in the books, you can certainly pity because of this.

FYI The Hobbit trilogy is not beloved or considered great artful filmmaking as The Lord of the Rings trilogy is. The Hobbit movies are widely considered a bloated blunder that missed the mark. There’s no reason to turn The Hobbit book into a trilogy of movies. The book it’s based on does not require a trilogy to be adapted. It was a single slim children’s book where as Lord of the Rings was a massive story released as a trilogy of three thick volumes. It was simply a marketing gimmick to attempt to ape the hype of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Thus there’s a ton of unnecessary filler that was pumped in that Hobbit trilogy. So if you’re going into The Hobbit expecting the level of quality and artistry that you saw in Lord of the Rings, expect to be disappointed.

The Hobbit trilogy is worth watching, but is not the same level of quality as The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Visually it depends more on CGI and less on practical effects, so you don’t quite feel the same level of involvement with what’s happening on the screen. Storywise it’s based on a children’s book, so it’s a much simpler story, but Peter Jackson has padded it out with a ton of backstory from Tolkien’s other writings to expand it to a trilogy that adults will enjoy as well. I don’t have a problem with the length as I enjoy spending a lot of time in Middle Earth and it still looks and feels just like The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I think you would really enjoy it.

Thank you again so much for your comment! I think I need to find the audibook. I want to know everything! Your comments are the next best thing 🤣 you put all the facts into easy to read paragraphs for me! I haven't watched it yet (saving it for later) so I'll keep this one for later too! I just really really loved these movies 😍

While as a big Tolkien fan (not quite purist but close I guess) I definitely agree with your many points, I also think that Dawn will love the movies anyway.

Hmmm... Watch the 1st three Indiana Jones movies sometime (okay all four if you want to). John Rhys-Davies plays Sallah in the first and third movies, which are also the best two in my opinion. Not doing a Scot in those! lol

(I mentioned this in a comment I think for Two Towers) Fun Sam fact: He and Rosie have thirteen kids! ELANOR (named after a flower in Lothlorien), FRODO, ROSE, MERRY, PIPPIN, GOLDILOCKS (who marries Pippin's son Faramir), HAMFAST, DAISY, PRIMROSE, BILBO, RUBY, ROBIN and TOLMAN (TOM). Oy!
