There’s a clever little callback in the early part of the movie. At Bilbo’s house Dori offers Gandalf tea, but Gandalf asks for wine instead. But in Fellowship of the Ring, when Gandalf arrives in Bag End, Bilbo offers him WINE, but Gandalf asks for TEA instead. Both in book and movies.
I think that's just following the writing but cool.
I believe in this case it's called a "Call-Forward".
The oldest dwarf (white hair and beard) is Balin. If you remember, he was the Lord of Moria in LOTR trilogy. The fellowship found his tomb: "Here lies Balin, son of Fundin". And the book who took Gandalf from a dwarf´s hands, this one was Ori, another of these dwarves.
Thorin is actually older than Balin.
@@akhorahil1990 Is there an explanation why he looks younger? I'm not being smart-mouthed, I'm just curious.
@@RibeyesteakSachertorte Not really. I guess they wanted him younger for the movies so he could fit the hero/warrior role better. In the books he has white hair and a white beard and he's more of a businessman type character rather than a hero/warrior.
The extended editions of the Lord of the Rings are literally my prized possessions lmao! My mom bought them as they were coming out and theyre so cool, they look like their bound in books, came with 2 discs of behind the scenes content AND they came with statues! It honestly blew my mind as a kid 😅
I own them too. (One unopened and one used). 🙂
I have them, too, and they are MY PRECIOUS..
I got the same ones. Mine didn't come with statues. I feel slighted.
I was impressed how quick you recalled the troll story and the elvish blade that Gandalf gave to Bilbo. You wouldn't have in secret rewatched LotR...WITHOUT US?! 😂
😂 I haven’t rewatched LotR yet, but I do plan to some time in the near future.
@@kahlareacts Sometimes even the extended version is shown in cinema. Would be a once in a lifetime moment. Don't worry about to cry, the whole audience does it. 😉
@@doeshumorbelonginmusic5799They just showed the new editions of all three extended versions in a local movie theater, one per day for three days. Went to all three with my teenage boys and it was amazing.
As a LotR nerd obsessive, I had my share of problems with these movies. Seeing it through the eyes of less encumbered peoples has definitely softened those concerns. The appreciation for the details, lore and characters shows me that I was often too eager to deal out death and judgement. I'm going to enjoy watching these with you ✌️✌️✌️
6:29 Girl! You don't even know! this is the opening line of the book! so many years later now, and I still got chills!
Gandalf's words in the beginning actually helped me deal with some of the differences compared to the book; "All great tales deserve embellishment!" How often has a legend passed from person to person, changing just a little each time? It's the way of stories that each new storyteller puts his own small twist on it, and so I don't mind so much that The Hobbit (movies) have many differences and/or additions as opposed to The Hobbit (book). I love these movies and will rewatch them many times
Returning to Middle-earth always feels like coming home.
The two dwarfs knocking their heads together in greeting, I think that's a reference to the original LOTR cast. Viggo would sometimes greet other actors by headbutting them lol
So glad you've gotten to this, Kahla, I'm looking forward to watching the rest with you. Every moment spent in Middle-Earth is a moment to treasure.
Years ago, I read LOTR first and thought it was wonderful. Two years later, I read The Hobbit and was very disappointed - for the same reason that people are disappointed with this Hobbit trilogy: TH was written in the 1930s for Tolkien's very young children and LOTR, when it came out, was not a children's book but was written for adults. It had great depth of feeling, demanded that you think and the language was very beautiful but also very poetic and sometimes difficult to understand. In contrast, TH is very simple, most of the characters are not as well developed and a short book has been stretched out to cover 3 films - but not as much as you would think because Peter Jackson searched through all the extra material Tolkien wrote as background information for his Hobbit story and added these bits to his films. Finally, PJ had to take over the production of the film after del Toro backed out at the last minute. He just didn't have the time to complete the trilogy like he did LotR. For this reason, I really, really think you ought to watch the extended edition of the final film in the trilogy because it just wasn't ready to go into theatres when the time came and viewers are a bit bemused as to what is happening when the battle is fought. The extended edition, containing all the material that PJ finally managed to complete, explains far more and is more satisfying.
Thank you for your reaction which is excellent so far.
I was unable to get the extended edition of LOTR but when The Hobbit came out I made sure I got the extended edition. Each movie has like 9 hours of behind the scenes on the DVD box sets.
The major alteration to the story is Azog, as he is in all three movies. Azog actually was slain in the battle outside Moria, and Bolg was the main orc in the book.
Orcrist and Glamdring are both supposed to glow blue, but they didn't have Glamdring glow in LOTR.
Balin, Ori, and Oin, where in the Lord of the Rings... just not alive ....unfortunately. When the Fellowship goes to Moria, Oin's body is among the dead where the "watcher of the water" (evil octopus thing), Balin was shot by an Orc/Goblin arrow and placed in the Tomb Gimli weeps at, and Ori was the body next to Balin's tomb holding the journal.
That is also one of the reasons Gimli is so set on going to Moria. He had not heard any news from Moria in a long time and wanted to know what happened to his kin. That is why he is also so emotional when he sees Balin's tomb.
Gimli also wanted to be apart of this adventure with his father Gloin, but he was deemed "too young" by dwarf standards.
They included bits and pieces taken from The Lost Tales of Middle Earth to fill out these movies
So happy you did these, Kahla. I'm excited for it all!🙂 The emotions evoked from the music and beloved characters are felt by all who love Tolkien's world put to screen! You are not alone. Never be afraid to express it, it makes your reaction real. 🤗💜
The elves ruled by thranduil are Sindar elves. The elves of lothlorien and rivendell are Noldor. Sindar elves are kind of rough and wild (by elvish standards). Noldor elves consider them more primitive than themselves.
Thats not gandalf and bilbo’s first meeting. Gandalf knew bilbo’s parents. So gandalf has known and observed bilbo since he was a child - although bilbo was too small to remember. And bilbo’s mother was a Took - a famously brave and adventurous family (which is why pippin is frodo’s cousin). bilbo being half Took and Gandalf’s observation of bilbo as a child, is why Gandalf chose Bilbo. In the extended version theres a brief flashback to that.
Ps have you remembered where you met Balin before?
Just a little information about the rings of power and the dwarves.
The Seven
"Seven Rings" redirects here. For the Ariana Grande song, see 7 Rings.
Sauron recovered the Seven Rings from information provided by Celebrimbor, and gave them to the leaders of the seven kindreds of the Dwarves: Durin's Folk (Longbeards), Firebeards, Broadbeams, Ironfists, Stiffbeards, Blacklocks, and Stonefoots,[4] though a tradition of Durin's Folk claimed that Durin received his ring from the Elven-smiths.[T 15][T 1] Over the years, Sauron was able to recover only three of the Seven rings from the Dwarves. The last of the three was seized from Thráin II during his captivity in Dol Guldur. Gandalf recounts to Frodo that the remaining four were consumed by dragons.[T 6] Before the outbreak of the War of the Ring, an envoy from Sauron attempted to bribe Dain II Ironfoot of the Lonely Mountain with the three surviving rings and the lost realm of Moria in exchange for information leading to the recovery of the One Ring, but Dain refused.
I use a little 'math trick' to remember the Dwarves names: There are 2 sets of 3 and 3 sets of 2. Each set rhymes. Dwalin/Balin. Kili/Fili. Oin/Gloin(Gimili's father). Bifur/Bofur/Bombur. Nori/Dori/Ori.
A lot of people had hate for the hobbit films and tell people not to even bother… look music movies books paintings are all forms of art … art is subjective to an individual’s taste.. take it all in and judge for yourself is what I’ve always believed 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Great reaction! I, like a lot of other people were disappointed at first with these movies because ofc nothing compares to LOTR, but they’ve absolutely grown on me over the years, especially this one. Glad you’re doing them!
Hi there, newcomer to the channel here, about to dive into your LotR videos and excited to see how you like them too. When you said dragons like treasure before the film showed it, I was like "Yes! She gets it!"
I will say for The Hobbit extended editions, Part 2 and 3 have certain scenes and characters that are lifted from the book that shore up the films' narrative, even with all the extra non-book stuff.
i love the hobbit movies. of course there is the small things that are changed or not part of the lore. but i think they did a really good job of mixing the hobit-lore with the other historic timeline events. allso...when u realise that balin and ori later died in moria( we see them in the gravechamber in moria, where the fellowship fights the goblins and the mountaintroll)
After Return of the King, it's nice to see the Return of the Queen to go on this journey to take us "There and Back Again!" These three movies will grow on you so don't listen to the haters. You will cry at least 2 more times if you watch the Extended Edition for the final movie... and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I sincerely wish you the bestest of Happy Birthdays. Ah. what it is to be someone in their 20's again!! I like these movies. If you treat them as a kiddies fairy tale (which was how they were written), you can not go wrong. I hope you complete the trilogy.
More like 30’s 😂, but thank you so much for the birthday wish. I’m definitely going to complete the trilogy ❤️
@@kahlareacts 😘
The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey is the greatest of The Hobbit movies
They're all good, because they're the only Hobbit movies. (Not incl. LOTR)
@@chrisbanks6659 actually they aren't the only ones.
It's more like that LOTR had lots of book content cut off (because it's a truly massive book) like in the end missing liberation of the Shire and Hobbit has some parts added from the Appendixes and other Tolkien sources. Of course there is also "artistic and theatrical alterations" and added characters and so on but that is a different thing ;)
Peter wasn't the original director either, Guillermo del Toro was the guy at first. So Jackson took over a project and yeah.... poor guy didn't get to plan out the Hobbit films like he did with Lord of the Rings.
I loved your LoTR reactions and this one is great as well. Thanks for doing this. You really are following the story and making all of the connections. Great job.
So glad you're reacting to this trilogy. I really enjoyed it and hope you do too.
I was entirely here for the shire reactions like--yes, they *did* pillage the pantry. I do think the Hobbit movies should've been two *at most*, but this first one was a good time. Thanks for watching!
I ❤ the Hobbit. When ever I get homesick for Middle Earth I watch The Hobbit. After watching this revisit the LOTR. So many easter eggs. 😍😍😍
Happiest of birthdays too ya 🙏❤️🙏
Thank you! 🥰
I was one of the fans disappointed in the Hobbit movies, but there's a lot to love too. Ian McKellen did an amazing job balancing the serious Gandalf the White Wizard from LOTR with the goofier lower-case wizard from The Hobbit. (You'll see if you read the books but basically Hobbit was a story for the author's kids, and when they asked him for a sequel it got out of control 😂)
If you want an excellent lowdown on the production issues, Lindsay Ellis has videos that I cannot recommend highly enough.
Oh my goodness. Without giving ANYTHING away; there will be tears. All of the various causes will be experienced.
You will know all the names eventually.
I'm a fairly new subscriber. I have not made a mistake. I know that already.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Gandalf picks Bilbo to help because, like he explains to Thorin, Hobbits are basically unknown to the different people and beast of Middle Earth. Hobbits don't venture from the Shire....and the Elves of Rivendell and Rangers (men of Numenor) help protect the lands from those that might look to harm/subjugate the Hobbits.
Plus, Hobbits are super tiny, and Gandalf believes they are stronger/tougher than what your eyes will tell you. Gandalf can sense that Bilbo has a good heart, and is brave, and kind, and his loyalty to friendship is strong. So picking a person that can sneak around, be small, and is unknown to others outside of the Shire, and someone that will see the job through.... that was why I think he picked Bilbo.
And Bilbo is from the Took family tree, and the Tooks were a bit wild for Hobbits lol.
Happy Birthday in advance Kahla
@@marcusfridh8489 Thank you!
@@kahlareacts you are most welcome
The Hobbit is definitely a fun trilogy and I prefer the character of Bilbo over frodo. It's not the Lord of the Rings but what is? I think the second one in the series is my favorite
I dont want to sound overly critical, but I would recommend getting the extended editions ... the first movie is probably not that different, but I remember watching the 3rd one and extended edition is surely palpably better ;) please consider getting it.... thanks (not sure about the 2nd one)
Please Trilogy The Hobbit Extended Edition Of The Adventures Of Bilbo Baggin:
(1) An Unexpected Journey Extended Edition
(2) The Desolation Of Smaug Extended Edition
(3) The Battle Five Armie Extended Edition
Watch the Rankin Bass Hobbit cartoon movie. It's so closer to the actual book.
We want part 2 please
Part 2 will be out tomorrow 😊
Yea, the Hobbit trilogy gets some hate, and yes they're not nearly as good and logical as LotR. But going back to the Hobbit films now, I have a new-found appreciation for them. Rather than letting all the opinions of others color my opinion of it before I even begin, I just went into again recently with an open mind, and ready for more middle-earth fun.
What I should have done in the first place.
they actually left things out
Oh really?!? I guess I’ll learn more about that as I watch the next two movies.
@@kahlareacts You should read the books too. 😊
No they didn't they added a lot to the three movies. A third of the content is from the actual book, a third from the appendices of the LOTR and a third they completely made up and added for filler.
The female elf and Legalos addition and subplot is filler to extend out the story.
I’m glad you went into this explaining right off the top that you understood it was not going to be at the same level as Lord of the Rings. The inaccuracies, changes, added plot lines, and unnecessary embellishments do piss me off personally as a fan of the books. But if my expectations were set accordingly beforehand maybe i wouldve enjoyed these more.
The theatrical version of these movies are fine. The book was just one book that was meant to be a smaller story and it really did not need to be made into a trilogy. These movies are alright but the extended scenes are mostly just unnecessary bloat.
understand that jackson & co. took enormous liberties with the original material of the childrens book that 'the hobbit' was and incurred a great deal of fan wrath as a result.
You went into this with the right attitude. LotR is it's own thing. I'm very happy to get the same emotional reaction to the music🥲
