🙄 Sorry for the 4 seconds where you see my empty bed.
I just found the booboo that I made in editing. My program crashed and I didn't trust my instinct to go back and check it for the millionth time. I had issues getting it past copyrite so I don't want to risk reuploading the fixed version and potentially having it blocked. I know that sounds lazy, sorry! Still trying to make friends with technology.
It makes sense that people often say they would love to live like a hobbit (for various reasons) when watching these films. The author basically wrote the hobbits to have his ideal lifestyle- spending the day tending the garden, having no need for shoes, drinking & smoking to pass the time & eating twelve meals a day.
Oh yeah, sounds pretty great to me.
Wow, you are stepping into another world today... Everything you are about to see was so beautifully made; The visuals, the audio, the sheer grandness of it all. Girl, this is what dreams are made of...
It really is something else.
Something the movie doesn't make clear is that from the time BIlbo leaves the Shire and the ring is put in that envelope and when Gandalf returns to the Shire and he and Frodo put the ring in the fire to figure out that it is the one ring that 17 years pass. So also when Frodo and Bilbo see each other in Rivendell they haven't seen each other in nearly 20 years.
Yes I’d read that. That explains Bilbo having aged so much. I just assumed he was ageing super quick without the ring.
Also, wow that’s a long journey they’ve taken. No wonder they had formed such a good bond with each other.
30:07 It’s an in-joke; he was best know for playing Richard Sharpe in a 14-part British TV series set in the Napoleonic Wars
Great show!
I never picked up on that in 20 years, good call. Now that's soldiering!
Ohh, thanks. Never heard of it.
I was trying to tell if this was the extended edition or the theatrical. I would definitely recommend watching the extended editions for the next two movies if possible, there were some parts better not left out.
She says at the beginning that it is not. But I agree. The extended version really makes a big deal when watching this.
Especially film 2
I’m going to try and get my hands on the extended cuts for the next two.
The extended are only for people who have intensely read the books. The average movie viewer doesn't care about meaningless trivialities that hold no relevance for the story that even the director thought didn't fit the films... not everyone's a "fanboi".
@@malcolmdrake6137 From the reactions I have seen most of the reactors are very happy to have watched the extended editions.
That butterfly is what we in the western hemisphere call a moth.
😅😅😅 I was having a moment.
How did Gollum know about Shire: so when Bilbo found the Ring on the floor of Gollum's cave, he put it in his pocket and forgot about it. Then, when he met Gollum, he was still naive and dumb enough to properly introduce himself. When after some time Gollum found his precious missing, he came to the conclusion that this Baggins is a thief.
Frodo is actually 50 years old in the books by the time he sets off to Rivendell, but keeping the Ring after Bilbo's departure "conserved" him in the age of 33, so he too looks much younger than he actually is. Pippin, on the other hand, is around 26 so in hobbits' age he's not even considered legally adult.
Thank you. Even though I had seen The Hobbit, I had completely forgotten their interaction. My memory is the worst!
Interesting about the age thing.
3:18
The ring inscription:
"One ring to rule them, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them, and in darkness bind them."
Thank you
Dumbledor wasn't exactly based on Gandalf in a one to one sense, but he was filling the trope roll that Gandalf created of the wise old mentor who is somehow still physically capable of holding his/her own with people much younger than him/her.
However, being a massive influence on Harry Potter, she did get the name Dumbledor from the giant bees found in Beorn's house in the Hobbit.
(also it was Fawkes teh Phoenix that saved Dumbledor, prompting Kingsley to say his immortal line, "That Dumbledor's got style!")
Thanks Nathan, all helpful information.
Ahh yes, so I wasn’t imagining things about him being saved by a bird (Fawkes).
This is the best trilogy of all time. And the 3rd movie holds the tied record for most Oscars won with 11
Sounds promising!
When Frodo puts on the ring, he disappears to normal sight but become visible to wraith sight.
Bad luck for him then!
Not in the future. The events at the beginning where Isildur gets the ring take place at the end of the Second Age. The events of these movies lead up to the end of the Third Age of the world. So the last alliance of Elves and Men began around 3430 of the Second Age (S.A.) This story (The War of the Ring) takes place in 3019 of the Third Age (T.A.) In Tolkien's reckoning, we live in either the fifth or sixth age of the world, so this is all technically in the past.
Thank you Larry, that is very helpful.
When I retired, I took Bilbo's birthday speech and changed the names to those I worked with and sent it as my departing email.
🤣🤣
All questions will be answered as we go =)
Excellent
Some of the Hobbit children listening to Bilbo's story are the director, Peter Jackson's children.
11:15 Bilbo told him his name and where he came form and he knows Bilbo took the ring.
14:04 'Halflings' are Hobbits, because they are usually around half as tall as men or elves. The 'halfling's leaf' is tobacco, which they call 'pipe weed' and have been cultivating for many generations creating different varieties.
23:35
Thanks for answering my questions Marcus, I appreciate it.
If I went to Hobbiton and met someone who hadn’t even seen the films, I honestly don’t know how I’d react XD
You have a great journey ahead of you watching these films for the first time!
Looking forward to the rest 😁
Haha the tour guide threatened to throw me off the bus!
Thank you, I’m looking forward to exploring the world more, just not looking forward to the editing process 🤣
Can’t wait for the next reaction videos. I loved your reaction!
So sweet, thanks so much!
If you’re hooked, I would watch the extended for the rest of the trilogy. No one really plans on watching a 12 hour trilogy for a 2nd time. You might as well experience it fully in all its glory while you’re interested!
Can’t wait for more!
12 hours 😅 I will get my hands on the extended cuts for the next two.
The little creature that comes to Gandalf at the top of Orthanc (the tower) is a moth.
I love the fact you've gotten past the ten minute mark.
😅 thank you! I couldn’t believe I’d made it either. When I first sat down I didn’t have much faith that I would.
Extended version for next 2 films please
Will try to get my hands on them.
Love you r reaction and your laugh. It was definitely a day brightener.
"If they're not careful, they'll end up as the crispy bacon."😂👌
Aww thanks Hannah :)
i searched "watching lord of the rings for the first time" expecting to find some younger person who was born after the spectacle of movies. didn't expect someone who was born before nor did i expect an upload date of 2022. this seems promising
Haha, it's meeeee - Aussie in her 30s who had never seen them before.
I was excited about this movie when I heard it was coming out because I remembered seeing an animated film adaption of the story when I was a kid. Both, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were made into animated movies in the 70s or 80s.
My friend and I used to imitate that version of Gollum. The live-action versions have them beat, in my opinion.
After that, our LotR phrase was "Hold out your hand... It's quite cool", or other variations followed by "It's quite coool".

She’s watching the theatrical cuts and she’s already seen _The Hobbit._ Do you actually watch any of these reactions, or do you just post the same thing in every video and move on? 🙄
Thanks, I have seen The Hobbit movies at the cinema (though admittedly I don’t remember much). This reaction was a theatrical cut but if I can find the extended cuts for The Two Towers and The return Of The King, I will watch them.
Loved your reaction. These are my all time favourite movies. Perfect in every way. Glad you're enjoying them.
Also, nice to see another Sydneysider.
Another Sydneysider here too.
Thanks so much for watching.
How funny, Aussies only account for 2% of my audience and yet the Sydney siders are popping up 💗
You said that you watched "the hobbit" so you should know that Gollum precisely knew that Bilbo stole his ring while they do their little riddele contest.
Yeah I’d forgotten 😬
Aragorn is not 3000 years old! He is a descendent of isildur, but not his immediate heir. However he is older than you might think, due to being descended from the numenorians (a long lived race of men, although Numeror itself had long ceased to exist in the time that LOTR is set). There were also three ages of middle earth. Each age ended with a specific event. The first age ended with the defeat of the first dark Lord (Morgoth - you'll hear his name mentioned once or twice in the trilogy). Sauron was the chief servant of Morgoth). Second age, when the last alliance defeated sauron. After each age ended, the year count was reset to zero. Sauron's first defeat (when he had the ring cut from his finger) happened at the end of the second age (around year 3400 in second age). Then the third age began with year zero, and LOTR is set sometime after year 3000 third age.
Ohhhh thank you, that’s is very helpful.
fun fact, the little hobbitgirl that listened to bilbos story is actually played by Peter jacksons daughter.
Really? Awesome. I love her 😍😍
Wooo absolutely loving these!
Yaaaay thank you 😄
The ring will corrupt everybody but Hobbits it corrupts much slower because they do not have a thirst for power.
They seem like a simple and pure bunch.
I prefer the longer versions myself, but I recommend the theater release for anyone who worries that they won't enjoy it. More of something you don't like isn't better. You can always check the extended version out later if you choose to, after all. However, there's a scene at the beginning of the third movie that absolutely should not have been cut. If you watch any of the extended cuts, let it be that one.
Exactly my thoughts. I could only find the theatrical on out streaming services but I was secretly relieved. Now that I’m more confident with the storyline I wouldn’t mind watching the extended, just whether I can find it or not.
I came here to say the exact same thing.
@@inbedwithmovies3228 As a TH-cam reactor, you won't likely be re-watching them any time soon so you should absolutely be watching the extended. Not a big deal in the first movie but go extended for movies 2 and 3. Get the whole story or don't bother.
@hephner78 I don't think that's the missing part the OP was referring to ;-) (especially since Gollum's origin story wasn't an extra scene ;-)
@hephner78 It was... the extended scene is at Isengard ;-)
It is not a Butterfly; it is a Moth.
At the Council of Elrond (the end of your part 1) Elrond was 6,514 years old.
Did you say you watched the Hobbit? - bilbo he ring when it fell from Gollum in the cave. Gollum figured bilbo found it during their game of riddles.
I watched them when they first came out but I basically remember nothing 😳
@@inbedwithmovies3228 oh okay. :)
I still count kids. And they are in their 30s... (Watch out. Even after they leave home, they come back. lol)
Hahaha, oh I love that you still count them.
Regarding the returning home thing, I'm from a city with one of the highest cost of living in the world... I just don't think they will ever leave home to begin with LOL
@@inbedwithmovies3228 Well, we are in Townsville NQ, so it's a bit cheaper. My daughter bought her own house 2 blocks away, but she still lives here most of the time :) (Single shiftwork mum by choice, so we babysit. It's a good deal if you like small people.)
@@bcsr4ever ah hello, it’s so exciting having another Aussie around 😂 I’m in Sydney (which just autocorrected to Dudney lol - the prices are duds for sure!)
It actually sounds wonderful. I hope my kids and I have a great relationship when they are older and I can see my grandkids all the time. 💗
@@inbedwithmovies3228 I figured Sydney when you said cost. lol.
Nice reaction (...and I think it`s good that you know almost nothing)!
Some short explanations:
1.The "Hobbits" are called "Halflings", because they are half the height of "normal" men.
2.The "Nazgul" can go in water, but thy don`t like it - they don´t like fire, either.
3.The creatures with the "good masks" are orcs. The smaller, thinner ones are called goblins.
4. The creature in Gandalf`s hand is a moth (a "butterfly" active in the night).
5. The white wizard is called "Saruman" and the red eye is called "Sauron".
Hoping for more!
Hi Klaus, thank you - that’s so helpful!
'A subcriber is never late, nor are they early, they subscribe precisely when they mean to!' Here for the next 2 reactions! The EE's are well worth their weight, the added scenes make so much more depth, character wise. They can easily be found on youtube, ironically. I have my copy on there for a patreon watch along whenever I find one I wish to watch with.
Thank you, I will get to them soon. I have some reactions already recorded and in the works first but they won’t be too long.
I always forget that you can rent or buy movies off TH-cam. Thank you!
Aragorn isn't 3000 years old too. "Isildur"s heir" is symbolic. There were several kings of Gondor after Isildur. But Isildur had the Ring so he's very important.
it's kinda like how Napoleon was set up to be the 'heir of Charlemagne' When he conquered France and Germany; even though there were dozens of French kings and Holy roman emperors after Charlemagne. It's an important symbol.
Aragorn IS the legitimate, if distant, heir of Isildur - through 3,000 years of ancestors - bearing in mind that as a numenorian/dunedai Aragorn's people live for hundreds of years and so that 3,000 years is far shorter in generations than it would be if Aragorn was an ordinary man. That extended bloodline applies to all the people of Gondor and the people to the south of Gondor, all of whom gather at Minas Tirith for the battle of Pelinor Fields in the books. Its just that Isildur's bloodline lost power - due to its dalliance with the ring - and then spurned power. Aragorn was raised by Elrond.
Aragon is her daddy but elrond is her father
Facts.
If no one has mentioned it yet, Bilbo Baggins 20 something years prior was the robot in Alien
Yes! Funnily enough I recorded this before I recorded Alien. When watching Alien I couldn’t work out where I’d seen him prior, even though it had only been a week or so in between films 🤦🏻♀️
Josh Hartnett & Elijah Wood were in "The Faculty" together, so it's easy to conflate them ;)
Hobbits are what they call themselves; other races refer to them as "Halflings" (being half the size of most other humanoids)
Ahh there you go. I just looked up the poster and they have the same hair in it so that’s my excuse lol.
Thanks, that makes sense.
@@inbedwithmovies3228 Always happy to help, love your reactions :)
@@davewhitmore1958 thanks Dave
JOSH HARNETT!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!!
Same, same? 😅
The story is not in the future. “3434” was the year in the Third Age. Each new age starts the year count at the beginning of the age.
Thank you.
I think every wizard has been based on Gandalf
Good point.
Many wizarding characters and fantasy games and movies are inspired by Tolkien's work.
Amazing, what a legacy.
Love these movies & books. The cartoons came out yrs ago & are good, just not as long as these movies. If it was me, I would have started with the Hobbit first to get the back story before the others. Either way, you won't be disappointed.
I didn’t know they had cartoons.
That’s a great idea actually, I might rewatch The Hobbit movies again before I continue on.
@@inbedwithmovies3228 happy to help.
Many generations separate Isildur from Aragorn.
Yes, thanks. I just thought he held his age extremely well 😳
OK, after this you must do the extended. We'll let it go this one time.
-- Did you read the book? You made a reference to the book.
-- Good catch on Frodo's missing book. Never saw that before.
-- Those are Peter Jackson's kids Bilbo is telling the troll stoy to.
--

Yes, the next two will be the extended cuts.
I read the book when I was about 10? I didn't take much from it - I thought watching the movie would trigger memories but not really.
I think jk Rowlings Dumbledore is a sort of magnanimous 'god like' figure who always gives people opportunities in the hope that they will make the choices that go against their obviously rotten nature (more similar to Azlan maybe?) Where as gandalf...really doesn't have much patience for fools and wronguns xD
I guess they are both grand overseer like characters. But personality wise they are pretty different I think.
But Dumbledore does have a phoenix :)
Which is like a jalapeno pepper to a giant eagle!
jk
Haha thank you for articulating it better than I could have.
Gollum knows Bilbo has the ring, youll have to watch The Hobbit. :)
The sad thing is that I have seen them, I just have the worst memory ever and forgot!
😍
Hi Brian 👋
30:30 "heir" does not mean "son". In this case it's grand gradn grand ... grand son
Thank you.
Basically if you think there's a similarity between Harry Potter and LOTR, it's Rowling copying off LOTR because LOTR was written decades before Potter.
-- "Would anyone want to live that long." Mortality is called the "gift of men" because thye die nd go to spend eternity with Illuvatar, or The One, whereas elves live forever in a fading world.
Yes, I said that I thought that Dumbledore is based on Gandalf.
The Gift of Man is the perfect way to put it.
Another maybe boring story. In the extended version of FOTR Aragorn visits the grave of his mother Gilraen. Her epitaph in Elvish is "I give Hope to men. I keep none for myself." One of Aragorn's names, you'll find out is Elessar, elvish for hope. To save him she let him be raised in Rivendell by the elves. This comes out a littler bit in Return of the King.
@@custardflan Not boring at all, it sounds like a moving scene. I was wondering how him and Arwen knew eachother.
@@inbedwithmovies3228 FYI, the Arwen subplot barely appears in the book. It's in the appendices but Jackson made it a major part of the movie, I guess for the ladies. 😀

You having a good weekend?
Yes thanks, how about yourself?
Good guy Sauron trying to bring unity to the middle earth while mean humans elves and dwarves try to stop him.
😅 look, he did actually bring unity to Middle Earth because they all had to work together to go against their common enemy.
It´s impossible to watch movies like this on a laptop. You just miss too much.
Yeah I have purchased a tv for my bedroom for the next reactions.
Most things in the movie are different from the books
That’s usually the way.
👌🙏🔵🟡😉😀
Thanks for watching, and the subtle reminder that I need to get going on number 2 😂🫶
You read the 1300 pages of Lord of the Rings and you can’t remember anything…sure.
I was around 10. Obviously didn’t take in much, I just remember reading it one summer holidays while away.
It's e-Sil-door not easel-door
Whoops. Thanks!
And she would be sore too, damn women lmao 🤣
🤣 that’s who I was talking about lol
Have you seen the Matrix (1999) Could you do a reaction if not? :)
I think I’ve seen it 🤔
11:04 You watched _The Hobbit?_ 🤦♂️
You're not a fan?
@@inbedwithmovies3228 Of _The Hobbit_ trilogy? Not particularly. But you’ve watched them yet seem not to remember much. 🤣
@@rickardroach9075 my memory is dog poop. During the first one the cinema was so packed and the aircon wasn’t on, so I was too busy trying not to die 😂 the other two I had baby brain with. Not reliable at all. I vaguely remember a river chase (because I thought the rapids looked fun), a dragon, a town by the river that the dragon attacks and some battle near the entry way to Moria. Don’t ask me about anything else 😬
@@inbedwithmovies3228 Swap Moria for Erebor and that’s pretty much it. Didn’t require 3 films.
