"Yo he's ALWAYS getting stabbed" might be my all-time favorite reaction to that scene.

I died inside a little when she said “this movie is really old.” I was 19 when it came out, and life still felt new. This film felt so new and different, the effects were amazing for the time… Now, it’s “old.” 😂

The moment you realized it was a cliffhanger took me back to years and years ago, when I was staying up till 3 am on a school night to finish the first book, only to realize on the final few pages that I'd have to sneak upstairs and get book 2 off of the bookshelf without waking up my parents.

“I would’ve gone with you to the end, into the very fires of Mordor” and "I would have followed you to the end. My brother, my captain, my king." THESE LINES ALWAYS HAVE ME BALLING MY EYES OUT NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I WATCH IT

This must be one of the most honest and wholesome reactions I've ever seem. This is my new UKposts hobby, watching people discover LOTR.

@8:44 you saw how Bilbo's hand was perpendicular to the floor, yet the ring did not fall. And when it hit the floor, it did not bounce and roll around like a regular ring would. And the sound was a dull and deep thud. The ring did not mean to leave Bilbo... Side note, when Gandalf was smoking by the fire, when Fodo came in, Gandalf whispered "Riddles in the dark..." which is the name of the chapter in the book, "The Hobbit" when Bilbo found the Ring. Cool call back for those who read the book and loved it.

When you guys are not just enjoying it but you start arguing about how the lore works, damn so great to see new LOTR nerds born.

Guys you are definitely NOT over-exaggerating the part where Bilbo sees the ring on Frodo and turns into a monster. My dad used to read us The Hobbit before bed when we were kids so I was raised to be huge Tolkien fan. My dad was so excited when the LotR movies came out that he took the family to see it and that scene scared me so bad I had to leave the theater. It's so unique to see folks who are totally new to Tolkien and you guys even picked up on a few smaller details that some fans could miss. Loved the reaction and can't wait to see you guys watch the rest of the series!

Sophie is 100% right... LOTR was written between the 30s&50s, and all that came later, inc Potter, StarWarz, GOT, and even Dune, owe great debts to JRRTolkien's Trilogy. I loved how S&M both fled from the camera when Bilbo tried to grab the ring from Frodo's neck; that was TOO funny! New subber.

J.R.R. Tolkien fought in the trenches of WW1 and was in the battle of the Somme, one of the worst battles in human history. He took a lot of his experiences from the war and also his knowledge of history to make this masterpiece.

I have seen this film reacted to by at least 40 or 50 channels. EVERYONE has a reaction video to it, but you two are out of this world! MOST people dont remember the details from previous scenes and they ALWAYS ask the same questions at the same spots. You two actually remember what you saw 20 minutes ago. Your quick to pick up on story changes and you were actually able to figure stuff out most people don’t understand till they’ve seen it a couple of times. Thank you for letting us watch it with you. I hope you two like the next one. You two are good fans for the movies. 🙂👍🙂👍

Regarding the wraiths. When they were at the Inn, Strider explained about the wraiths. He said "They were once Kings of Men." Then he said they accepted rings of power from Sauron, becoming wraiths neither living nor dead. If you recall, at the very beginning, Sauron gave 9 rings to the world of men. Those are the Black riders.

34:48 everyone always jumps when bilbo does that lol😂

56:49 Literally the entire theater on opening night. 💪🫨🥳🥳 The tension in the room was literally palpable, and when Aragorn sliced off Lurtz’ head we all exploded in this guttural yell, fist pumping, the works. It was wild.

I like how she picked up the essence of a Maiar, They kinda know everything and mostly let things play out, while playing small parts helping guide to the right course.

Finally, reactors who are smart, and figure things out as they watch, and pay attention to what is said, and what happens!!!! Great reaction, and love how you actually paid attention, and figured it out as you went!!!! LOVE YOU TWO!!! I have watched MANY reactions to this movie...I have seen all the films many times, and read the books dozens of times. GREAT JOB GUYS. I AM SUBSCRIBING!

One thing that the book gives you that the movies don't is a map of Middle Earth to use as a reference. There was a mountain chain in their way, to continue their journey they had three choices. Go over the mountains through a pass (which didn't work), go through the Mines of Moria or go south near Isengard where the evil Wizard is. The chances of being spotted and captured would drastically increase the further south they went so their best shot was the Mines. Yeah, Gandalf knew what was down there but if they could keep quiet and remained undetected they could have come out of the mines almost anywhere, probably loosing anything that was watching out for them, but of course Pippin screwed that up when they were almost out.

The word " Master" can be used in different context. When Sam calls Frodo Master, he is addressing his social better. Also the word " Master" can stand in for " Mr". Especially if you are talking to or about someone you consider a child.

“This movie is really old” Oh… GAWWWD 😭😭😭

Look at his face, how serious he is , Sam was ready to kill a b**ch that night to save Frodo . He's so adorable 😂19:00 ps: "master" also means "mister" , it's a polite phrasing , generally used towards young people . hobbits stay very short all their lives , even shorter than dwarves so many people mistake them for children even they are adults . pps: the black riders ( the nazguls) were once men, but they're obviously not human anymore, they've been corrupted , they are now ring wraith , (like zombies are obsessed with eating humans, they are obsessed with the ring) .

Elves in Middle Earth are Immortal - they do not die of disease, or old age but they can fall in battle. There are several Elves that are almost 10,000 years old and one called Cirdan who is over 10,000 years old. As I said, Elves do not die unless they fall in battle, however, if an Elf has seen too much sorrow or pain in his/her life they can die of grief. They will also pass if they stay too long away from Valinor (the undying lands). It is very complex but Tolkien wrote about this is great detail.

Long before Harry Potter and GOT was JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. JRR Tolkien was the greatest author of fiction of the 20th century and inspired these movies. He poured his life into these books about friendship, loyalty, and faith.

I love that he immediately apologized for scaring her with his reaction when the wraith is looking for the hobbits by the tree. She didn’t say anything but it clearly shows his caring for her exceeds his ego. Couple goals.

"Can that wizard fly up to that place and just dump it?" I wouldn't start this topic if I were you 😂😂😂

Man, you just turned me into a dinosaur with "this movie is really old". 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Love seeing new ppl get into Tolkien’s work. Most consider him to be the grandfather of the Fantasy genre. Welcome to the family!

I love seeing people watch this series who follow the story and can connect the dots when needed! Also your reaction to Bilbo's creepy face was A+!

I’m going to suggest you guys watch the extended editions for the next 2 films. It has very important scenes to the plot and the characters that the theatrical release doesn’t. The only reason they weren’t in the theatrical release was because the studios put a time limit on the director so they could have more viewings in a day in theaters. Even though you didn’t watch the extended edition on this one just go ahead and do it for the next 2. Also, yes all elves are immortal but only a handful are able to choose to live a mortal life (still a couple hundred years lifespan). Elronds line is one of them. His daughter wants to live a mortal life. His brother chose to live a mortal life and started the Kingdom of numenor. The kingdom is in ruins now but the descendants of numenor still have longer lifespans than the rest of mankind. While all elves are immortal they are all different ages. Legolas is one of the youngest you’ll meet at around 2,000 years old. Galadriel is one of the oldest (Elrond is younger than her). She’s been around since middle earth was created and lived in Valinor/undying lands (heaven essentially). Elves are the only ones that go to Valinor. When you hear of them leaving or sailing west that’s where they’re going. They’re souls also go there when they die in middle earth. Sauron is essentially a corrupt angel called a Maiar. There are multiple gods and he served one that became corrupted and Sauron followed him to corruption. When his master died Sauron became the new dark lord. The wizards are also Maiar but of a lower class than Sauron was hence not as powerful. 5 were sent from Valinor to middle earth to help defeat Sauron when he first came to power. You’ll only see 2 in these films and 1 other in the hobbit. Saruman volunteered to go and Gandalf was asked to go. So while they look like old men they don’t actually have the body and frailty of old men. They have that form so that way people trust them more. And like the elves they don’t age. Saruman has now become corrupted because he has abandoned his task and joined Sauron. And dwarves and elves hate each other so the fact gimli becomes enamored with Galadriel is a big deal. Keep an eye on his interactions with legolas. A lot of information but thought it’d be useful.

The algorithm sent me here and I am grateful. This is, without doubt, the best reaction by millennials that I have seen ( and I've seen a few). You do not prattle on inanely and are both very observant and have intelligent comments. What a breath of fresh air. Thank you. 😊

"My precious", is the most iconic line in cinema history

You're going to love this series. It's one of the greatest stories ever told on film

1:47 The SOUND of "Sauron exploding" is one of the reasons why you need a REALLY REALLY GOOD AUDIO (headphones arent enough!), because it goes through your entire body in a movie theater! 5:00 Ian McKellan really hit his head in that take ... it wasnt in the script. As usual when someone injures themselves ... it is the take that gets to be in the movie. 14:55 "A shortcut to mushrooms" is the title of one of the chapters in the book.

It is an amazing Trilogy. No matter how detailed the Movies and extended editions are the lore is so rich that very little of it made it to the screen. Regarding the prologue and the rings: Sauron deceived the Elfs into helping him forge the rings of power: 9 for Men 7 for Dwarfs and then Sauron made the One ring to rule them all however the Elf Celebrimbor forged the 3 Elvish rings without Sauron's presence making them unique in the way that they are good and benevolent and help others not just the person holding them. They are also unique in the sense that they are subject to "The One Ring" but not Sauron himself. This means that unless Sauron put's on The One Ring these 3 rings are the most powerful in existence. The 3 Elvish rings are not explored in the movies but they are an integral part of the lore and story so here is a little info on them to help you have a grasp of what is going on offscreen. Their powers are not fully explained but what is know is: The ring of Air: Elrond has this ring and with it he was able to heal Frodo from the Nazgul wound something that is normally impossible. It was also the ring of Air (Maybe with the assistance of Gandalf) that made the river wash out the Nazgul. The ring of Water: Galadriel has this ring and with it she protects her kingdom from everything including time itself. This is why it is a very tough choice for her to help Frodo because if "The One Ring" is destroyed her ring will lose it's power and her kingdom will diminish and fall into history. The ring of Fire: Gandalf has this ring. With it he is able to do the Fireworks and probably helped him with his fight with the Balrog. Another quality of this ring is it affects the people around it by increasing their courage, bravery and making them resist corruption. That is one of the reasons why Gandalf's presence was so inspiring and why despair took over the fellowship when he fell. P.S. Isildur was actually much wiser and more noble in the books. They never were with Elrond in the pits of mount Doom for him to change his mind and keep the ring. Elrond merely SUGGESTED it was destroyed but Isildur asked to keep the ring as compensation for losing his father and brother in the battle. At the time they did not know what it would mean if the ring is allowed to endure so Elrond AGREED and let him keep the ring. After some time Isildur realized the ring was starting to take over him and even though he had shown great resistance to it he had the foresight and modesty to realize he cannot fully control it. He was on his way to give the ring to Elrond for safe keeping and advice when he was ambushed and killed by orcs. In the books Aragorn is not only not ashamed but actually quite proud to be Isildur's heir and screams his name as a battle cry when charging into battle.

You guys honestly have one of the best reactions to this movie that I've ever seen. You all are following subtle details that usually confuse people who go into these movies with no previous info. Really great.

Wlecome to the greatest trillogy of all times! :) Can't wait for your next reactions! I just hope you are watching the extended versions, because they are worth it!

Love how much you guys loved this! Some of the greatest movies ever made and they will stand the test of time. The special effects still hold up even over 20 years later. Just an all time classic. Can't wait to watch the rest of the series!

When the Black Riders come near the Ring, they cast an overwhelming “put on the Ring” spell on whoever carries it. Then when the Ring is on, they can see its carrier, no matter where or how far away they are.

The term "master" in classic English and in more refined times was a title given to someone of younger age. Anyone between the ages of 12 and adulthood were referred to as "master" instead of "mister."

Btw, in the after-word of the trilogy, Tolkien suggested that Sam was also cursed with long life by his contact with the Ring, and after outliving his wife snd children, Sam may have gone to the Undying Lands to join Frodo. The elves would have sent a ship just for him. As forseen by her father, Arwen’s grief for Aragorn was unbearable and she wandered the woods of Middle Earth alone for many years.

Thank you, guys!! Please, next part do extended version, I'm sure you gonna like it!)

I have paused at 35mins to tell you both how impressed and delighted I am of how much you have immersed yourselves into this story by following,and questioning all the detail!. You are nailing this and making die-hard fans like me very happy! The books by J.R.R Tolkien have been consistently voted by other generations as one of the very best of- not only the 20th Century, but of all time!. This trilogy is the best translation from the written word to screen that exists IMHO!. Immediate sub and thankyou!. Zebedee from Oz. 👍👍

Bilbo and Frodo were "meant" to have the Ring. There is a higher power at work for good in this story. "And that is an encouraging thought."

And two more fans are born. These movies capture everybody's imagination and sense of wonder. And discover world building on a scale that very few writers have even come close to.

I'm ridiculously excited to see you guys start this! 😂 The comparisons between LotR and other properties are probably going to come (haven't finished the video yet), but something important to keep in mind: if something like Game of Thrones was inspired by history and the true-to-life conflicts between people, than Tolkien was inspired by _mythology._ Gods and monsters and the epic struggle between good and evil. In this world, magic works the way Zeus or Loki might use it, not the way Harry Potter would. The franchise might have similar window-dressing to other things you've seen, but LotR is something very different and special unto itself. I hope you end up enjoying it! After finishing the video* You guys can make predictions and stuff if you want to, but I feel like the majority of fans just want to see how you guys react to things _in the moment,_ you know? Lord of the Rings isn't really about trying to guess what'll happen. Its literally about the journey. And we just want to see y'all get emotionally invested in the story and characters.

Ton of fun watching along with you guys & so glad you enjoyed it! Gonna put in a vote for the extended editions but other than that I think you’re in for one hell of a journey & excited to see what you think!

The camera effect of Frodo when he senses something coming on the road was invented by Alfre Hitchcock in the movie Vertigo, I believe. It's achieve by physically moving the camera one direction while moving the lens the other direction, I believe.

You guys are one of my fav reactors!! I´m so happy that you enter in this world!! And thanks SO MUCH to do it in one video. I knowk it´s hard but I value a lot!!

My man's so hurt about gandalf, that's the mark of a new fan... welcome aboard

Can we just acknowledge how epic that soundtrack is?

Love your reaction, I can tell you’re invested and you’re both asking the right questions and picking up on the small details🙌🏻

The best fantasy series. I saw this in the theater with my parents when I was 10 years old, and it was absolutely terrifying. My dad told me later that I had a death grip on his arm through the whole thing.

the way this video captures all my favorite parts about showing someone these movies, hearing people try to figure out the story and reacting to all the scenes you know will get a reaction, and just how excited yall are. it's like you're watching it for the first time all over again

To answer the question of the use of "master" when being addressed, it was a polite form for a young man. It used to be that "Master" becomes "Mister" as you became an adult. A variation from the books, based on how hobbits aged Frodo would be developmentally in his early 20's while the other 3 were teenagers and Sam was actually employed by Frodo and Bilbo before him, so Frodo actually IS Sam's master (as per the English concept of "Batmen" similar to a squire to a knight) The elves are truly immortal though they can be killed, they do not die of age. The narrator at the beginning (Galadriel) is literally older than the sun and lived in a time when the only light was star light (thus her gift to Frodo). Arwen is Elrond's daughter (and Galadriel's granddaughter) and his line had human blood mixed in thus allowing those specifically of his line to give up immortality (his twin brother actually chose to be mortal thus his worry about Arwen choosing to be with Aragorn) Boromir, you have to remember, was a commander of Gondor and the son of the steward thus from his point of view he has been fighting almost all his life against Mordor as his father and grandfather had and watched friends and loved ones slaughtered on the field while his "king" has been prancing around with the elves in peace. Thus his salty attitude towards Aragorn. Frodo falling even though the armor protected him was because he was hit in the chest by the equivalent of a major league baseball player hitting you in the sternum with a bat, maybe no broken bones but all the breath would have been driven from him. It isn't shown well when Gandalf fell but the others were about a hundred yards+ from him as they had kept running and the orcs were shooting arrows at them forcing them to keep going.

10:28 don’t feel bad, these are the LotR characters according to my father: Airgun, Giblet, Legolopolis, Gondola, Happy, Scottie (Pippin), Photo, Sean Bean, and Sam.

Holy shit you guys are really good reactors. Incredibly on point with every detail. It's a wonderful change of pace. Edit: BRO, SHE GOT THE "Why don't the eagles just fly it to mordor?" at the COUNCIL OF ELROND? That's a sub right there.

My dad read these books to me as a kid, and I saw the movies later in theaters when they came out. It was a lot of fun to watch you guys experience it for the first time. Cheers.

"This movie is really old" Me, about to rewatch the 1933 King Kong for the 3rd time this year so far 😮

you guys are so lovely and intelligent, you immediately caught on the nuanced themes and the character decisions. amazing to listen to both of you ❤

I'm so glad you guys enjoyed it. And I'm so excited by what you're yet to experience 😅🔥🙌❤

Great reaction, it was gratifying to see you reach the correct conclusion to many of your own questions & equally nice to hear the “better than HP” after only the first movie. Excited to check out the next two reactions 👍🏽

Great reaction. Remember that when we first saw it, we had to wait a YEAR for part 2.

So glad to see you guys doing this trilogy. My fav movies of all time. Enjoy and strap yourselves in.

Everybody jumps when Bilbo sees the ring around Frodo's neck and lunges - it's one of the most unexpected but most effective jump-scares I've ever seen , and it's not even a horror movie 🤣🤣

One of the best, most honest, reviews I've seen. Fantastic! Looking forward to the next one.

Y'all have already watched this series but when gandalf said "keep it secret keep it safe" to the time he said "is it secret is it safe?" 3 years passed, gandalf was trying to study information and when he realized bilbo had the one ring he went back to hobbiton the shire, to find out if he was right and frodo had it his worst fear was realized. Also I'm new to your channel and I'm subscribing 😂 y'all are awesome

The songs of lamentation were elvish for Gandalf when they arrived in Lothlórien. So the song you hear is for him: The only excerpt from these songs is "Mithrandir, Mithrandir, O Pilgrim Grey!". This was expanded & set to music by Philippa Boyens & Howard Shore, respectively, for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. It was sung in the said film by Elizabeth Fraser in the track Lothlórien. Notable about this song is that it assumes that the elves of Lothlórien were aware that Gandalf was an incarnate Maia. This is debatable. As well, the lyrics ask "What drove you to leave/That which you loved?". This suggests that Gandalf was well aware that he would fall in Moria. Other debatable verses include the claims that Gandalf was the wisest of the Maiar, and that with him the Flame of Anor would leave the world (assuming that it and he were one, or he was the only wielder of the Flame). (English comes after the Quenya) * The first part is in Quenya: A Olórin i yáresse Mentaner i Númenherui Tírien i Rómenóri Maiaron i Oiosaila Manan elye etevanne Nórie i melanelye? The Second part is in Sindarin: Mithrandir, Mithrandir, A Randir Vithren ú-reniathach i amar galen I reniad lín ne mór, nuithannen In gwidh ristennin, i fae narchannen I lach Anor ed ardhon gwannen Caled veleg, ethuiannen. * Olórin, who once was... Sent by the Lords of the West To guard the lands of the East Wisest of all Maiar What drove you to leave That which you loved? Mithrandir, Mithrandir O Pilgrim Grey No more will you wander the green fields of this earth Your journey has ended in darkness. The bonds cut, the spirit broken The Flame of Anor has left this World A great light, extinguished.

I have watched so many reactions to this series of movies and I just wanted to say yours is honestly one of the most enjoyable and real.

This was the most enjoyable reaction video I've seen yet. You two made me feel like I was watching it for the first time with my friends, again. Loved it! 👏👏👏👏👏

Wow! Great reaction you two! Of all the folks I’ve seen react to the masterpiece that is Lord of the Rings, y’all are up there with my favorites. As noobies to this story you both did just an excellent job picking up on many of the nuances of how the ring works and it’s power to corrupt the hearts/minds of anyone. You understood that the ring has a will of it’s own and it’s basically evil incarnate. Anyone taking on that burden (like gollum, Bilbo, and Frodo) by being a ring bearer can’t help but suffer it’s corruption. But not all to the same extent. In addition, your intentions, motivations, and purity of heart/spirit all have a lot to do with how quickly the ring affects you. Bilbo and Frodo both are remarkably resistant to it’s power (but not immune). While Gollum, as you will see, was far more corrupt in his heart when he first gained the ring. So while it transformed Smeagol in the creature known as Gollum quickly, it just extended Bilbos life unnaturally but left him far more intact for about 60 years. Though Bilbo would have been corrupted sooner or later has he kept it. Can’t wait to see you react to the 2nd movie - The Two Towers.

Love seeing people experience LOTR for the first time. It’s magical!

Awesome reaction!! you guys are so fun and genuine! I loved watching it and so looking forward to the next ones

You guys are great. You picked up all the details that some people who don't know the story sometimes don't get. One of the best reaction channels I've seen.

Loved your reaction. Real quick. Some things that might've seemed confusing in the movies were made clear in the novels. The Ring Wraiths were those nine kings referred to in the intro to the movie. They died roughly 2,000 years before Gollum got the ring and held it for 500 years. So they're nothing but 2,500 year old mummified corpses reanimated by the rings they received from Sauron long ago. That's why they look all shrouded in bleached rags and wearing weird crowns when Frodo puts on the ring at Weathertop and sees them without their black hoods. Also, when the Elf Arwen crosses the water with Frodo and turns around and taunts the Ring Wraiths to come and get it, the Ring Wraiths aren't afraid of the water. That water is a ford marking the border of the realm of the elves. They hesitate because they know if they cross that ford, the sentries and lookouts in the trees might see them and repel them with Elven magic or whatever, which is what Arwen does with the water of the ford by causing the ford to rise up and crash into those Ring Wraith Nazgul thingies. Also, the author of the books J.R.R. Tolkien was a Catholic, and his faith informed his fiction. Gandalf is actually a kind of angel. He's meant to help and guide others and offer wisdom. He can help and serve and protect, but he's not supposed to do the job himself. The eagles aren't interested in helping, and they helped Gandalf only because he, like those eagles, are special beings. I hope that helps clear up a few things that might've been confusing otherwise. Cheers!

19:11 LMAO 34:28 I jumped again and I knew it was coming XD

I just rewatched this 3 days ago🔥🔥 perfect timing to randomly get on your videos! you guys have authentic n real reaction🔥much love🕊💙 Stay blessed!!

might be the best reaction video I've seen for LOTR. This was wholesome and genuine, getting to see people's reactions to this trilogy always makes my heart full.

Welcome to the most greatest trilogy ever adapted to film! Glad to have you in the fan base! Try watching the extended version for the next two it gives such a bigger picture of the world and gives insight to characters like Boromir

I LOVE watching this epic story getting new fans. I have watched these movies so many times over the years and read the books more than once. You’re so lucky you don’t have to wait a whole year til next movie 😃

When they say "Shortcut to..." "MUSHROOMS!" its awesome because that Chapter of the book is called Shortcut to Mushrooms

i had so much fun watching this. such a great video! watching you cheer after the beheading was awesome.

Hiya Mair & Sophie 🙂 I'm so glad you're doing these movies, it is a story I have been enamoured with for over 45 years and the PJ Films are an incredible representation of that Story. Just for some historical context, JRR Tolkien published The Hobbit in 1937...... 1937. In the following 12 years he put together The Lord of The Rings, which were published, in parts, between 1954 and 1955. These stories are considered to be the quintessential modern Epic Fantasy story, all other fantasy stories you may or may not know have derived in some way from these books, whether intentional or not, even to this day and beyond. Game of Thrones author GRR Martin is a self confessed huge fan of Tolkiens works. ("Is that Ned?... is that NED STARK?" 😆 An Oxford University Language Professor, old myth and languages were his true passions in life. Tolkien's world of Middle-Earth is the location for the tales and stories he created as a setting for the Elven Languages (both spoken and written) he himself devised, Quenya and SIndarin. These are the languages you hear and see in the movies. He started to develop a number of other languages, some were part of the life cycle of Quenya and Sindarin, others were seperate but much less formed, e.g. Orcish 'Black Speech' and Dwarvish. All this was just meant to say "JRR Tolkien is considered the Father of Modern Fantasy". And ROFLMFAO, you had me in tears with the Bilbo seeing the ring round Frodos neck scene 🤣🤣🤣 and Mair's "he needs to calm... the F***... down" 🤣🤣🤣 You guys are SO enjoyable to watch along with, thank you both. Enjoy the rest of this Epic tale, one of the best stories ever.

For me the best part of this movie is Frodo standing at the river reflecting on Gandalf’s words. It’s a moment emphasized by Boromir and Gandalfs deaths. “All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you.” It’s the moment that Frodo commits to his adventure by taking control and moving forward despite the pain and worry.

😢 They just said "Ned, don't die here ok" and My heart gasped in pain and I thought "Oh, you have no idea my dudes" 😢 31:49

Oh holy cow, I haven’t laughed so hard in days! 😅 you guys are awesome. I loved watching you watch this classic as LOR virgins. PERFECTION!

Two Towers EXTENDED EDITION, please... cant wait next parts

When she called the wave, she wasn't doing it by herself she was calling to her people to summon that wave.

One of the first lotr reaction I have seen where they figure things out for themselves by piecing together the info the story gives you ?

You guys definitely pieced things together a lot better than I did when I first watched it though I was really little lol. I loved your reactions though y'all are so damn funny

Extended is a bit longer, but oh so much better! I would definitely recommend that your first time watching be the extended, it was filmed in conjunction with the theatre release, so it's not just cut scenes, but scenes with extra lines and small additions (and if you didn't find Fellowship slow, you will not be bored with the extra time for the extended). Loved the reaction, can''t wait to see the next few films (including the Hobbit please)

The books - Lord of the Rings - were written in the 1930s-40s. More current fantasy stories (Harry Potter and Game of Thrones) borrow heavily from this masterpiece. Note that the three movies tell one story each picks up where the other left off. Enjoy the journey!

Great reaction you guys. Thanks for doing that. I can't wait to see your reaction to the next two.

im so glad i discovered you two this week, i love your reactions

I heartily recommend doing the extended versions for Two Towers and Return of the King. You can do them in two parts, if they feel long - and I guarantee you wont regret it. 3 movies of these movies is too little, after all. You want to enjoy the journey and in the end you will wish it didn't end!

Bilbo is 111 which is old, even for a Hobbit, and it's because of the ring, but they do age and mature differently. Frodo is over 50!

Something that is kind of glossed over in the movies, but interesting to know is that in the period after Bilbo's birthday to Gandalf's return is 17 years long. Gandalf, and in turn the other wizards (Saruman, Radagast, etc.) are not technically wizards. They are Maiar (angelic beings of power [think lower tier angels]) using human form. In this form they are known as the Istari. Sauron (the big bad defeated in the beginning) is also a Maiar (as is the Balrog of Moria) and so if Gandalf takes the ring, his power could theoretically rival that of Sauron and be corrupted.

Best reaction i have seen so far- really enjoyed this

Hahaha yay my favourite movies of all time. You should definitely think about watching the extended editions, especially for movies 2 and 3. The deleted scenes are incredible editions to the movies, just shows how good the story/director/cast/sets/costumes are! Me and my bro paused and rewind that scene of bilbo making a scary face so many times, we thought it was hilarious after being scared by it the first time.

This movie isn't old. It's ageless and timeless. It will hold up forever.

Great review guys. Really fun watching you enjoy this classic. You got a new subscriber!

Best lord of the rings reaction I’ve seen you guys picked up on everything every one of my friends have to pause it every 5 seconds with questions
