More like: I am not your bro, dude. And then Nazghul is like: I am not your dude, man. And then she is like: I am no Man. And he is like: I am not your... wait what?
In full agreement with Jeremy here. People always whine about the long ending but I loved the shit out of it. Insanely good music and the only time, ever, where I felt truly sad that a movie ended.
+Andrew Wang And it's funny because that ending is short compared to the book. In the book the ring is destroyed...and there's literally half book left to read
I think my favourite scene in this movie was when Aragon just became King and when he gets to the hobbits and they bow at him and he says "my friends, you bow to no one" and everyone just bows down before all the hobbits, that scene was just magnificent, I don't think I've had a bigger smile on my face from any film/scene besides this one
Tolkien presented the manuscript of LOTR to the publisher as a single 3000 page or so book. The publisher rejected that instead they divided the book into three parts.
"Ride now!... Ride now!... Ride! Ride to ruin and the world's ending!Death!(Death!)Death!(Death!)DEATH!(Death!)" Loved Theoden's speech. Made me wanna grab a horse and ride with them.
+Lars Zingler Do yourself a favor and try to find that speech in german. It is mostly a 1:1 translation (so, you know the words), but the pronounciation and nature of the language makes it even more intense. And I am really the opposite of biased as I 99% prefer the original version and hate most re-dubs. But that speech man... IDK, "Deeeeaaath" has some resemblense of a willhelm-scream to me. The deep "O" sound in Tod (ger. death) just makes you guts resonate!
The german dub of the movies is pretty awesome in general and afaik Tolkien even said himself he prefered some terms in german over the english ones (especially Elves vs Elben, also "Auenland" sounds much better than "Shire" for example).
"Oh wait, the Ring is seven feet from me, otherwise known as the one place it can be destroyed?! Nazgul, get the ***** over there!" I fell out of my chair laughing.
janeyrevanescence12 I rewatched it like 3 times and kept laughing every time. Infact, I'm gonna watch it again right now! :D Edit*: Alright, I lied, I rewatched another 3 times, I need to take a Jeremy Jahns break, this guy is too funny for my own health...
I saw Return of the King for the first time today, and I'm in shock. I've never cried during a movie before. Never. And I was choking up from the moment Sam picks up Froto to the end credits. I still can't believe how amazing this movie is. Just... wow
7:44 Fun fact: In Shakespeare's "Macbeth," the witches tell Macbeth that "no man of woman born" can harm him. At the end he dies to Macduff who was "from his mother's womb untimely ripped." Tolkien felt that Shakespeare missed an opportunity, so he made Eowyn.
I always thought Merry was the one that made it possible for Eowyn to kill the Witch King of Angmar. If Merry didn’t stab the Witch King, Eowyn couldn’t have killed him.
@@RubALamp you are right, the daggers that merry and pippin have were taken from a barrow on their journey to rivendell. These barrows were the burial sights of warriors from the ancient Kingdom of arnor, (the northern equivalent of gondor) which aragorn's ancestors ruled. The kingdom fell into ruin because they were at constant war with the witch King, who controlled angmar, a northern orc territory. The weapons in the barrow were enchanted to be effective against the nazgul, because they were created in this time.
@@davidjones272 Yes; that prophecy is constantly mistaken for a *power* , which it really is not. There *were* ways to kill the Witch King, enchantment on weapons to reach and harm the nazgûl even if they barely had a physical body in the material world. Many people seem to think (and even the Witch King made this terrible mistake, which ultimately cost him his life) that he *can't* be killed by humans, or male humans... But that is not it at all. The whole deal with the prophecy was, king Eärnur of Arnor and Glorfindel had *just* finished fending off the Witch King, and he was fleeing; Eärnur wanted to go hunt him and kill him for good, but Glorfindel caught a small glimpse of the future: "he will not fall by the hand of man". This, many people (again, even the WK himself) think means "he can't be killed", but that is literally not what he said, just that whenever he *did* get killed, it wouldn't be a man doing it. Merry stabbed the fucker with the Barrow Sword which, lo and behold, had an enchantment to momentarily make a nazgûl "corporeal" again; then Eowyn sealed the deal with the face stab; a hobbit and a woman killed him, so he didn't fall by the hand of man... In the books there is a nice bit of narration as Merry and Eowyn pass out in the ground from the nazgûl's dying power, talking about how, if the person who forged the dagger had known what end it would have come to, they would be very glad; I think that, in the movies, that is the worst consequence of removing Tom Bombadil: all the meaning of Merry's dagger is lost. Maybe they could have shoed in a scene of someone in Rivendell giving the daggers to the hobbits and explaining why they were useful?Idk
@@mordirit8727 it also known that the witch king was afraid of 2 individuals the first was king eanur of gondor who the witch king managed to ambush and kill him the 2nd one was Boromir the 1st a Stewart of gondor who ruled some 1300 before denethor and he was a total badass he had crushed the armies of mordor time and time again and he died due to the effects of an old battle wound after ruling gondor for some 78 years (if I remember correctly )
"Oh wait, the thing is SEVEN FEET from me, otherwise known as the ONE PLACE IT CAN BE DESTROYED?!?!?! NAAAAAAAZZZGGGUUUUULLLL, GET THE FFFFFFUCK OVER THERE!!!!!!" - Best JeremyJahns quote ever.
The best scene in ROTR in my opinion is when King Theoden gives that epic speech and the Rohirrim (Rohan army) charge into battle screaming "Death" over and over again with the awesome music in the background. I get shivers down my spine and goosebumps every time.
These reviews are probably the best thing you've ever done on your channel. I love the enthusiasm and investment that you put into this and it reminds me of why I'm still subscribed years later. Rock on, Jeremy.
I love you Swegta. Every night I think to myself how nice it’d be to have a Bully 2. But then I realize we live in hell and are expected to buy Shark Cards for life
Greatest trilogy of all time, hands down, nothing even close... Not even Star Wars. The casting, the acting, the screenplay, the dialogue, the cinematography, the score, the visual effects, the costumes, the filming locations, the action, the chemistry all EPIC. Such a huge feat in film making, so groundbreaking, never to be repeated or matched. Job well done Peter Jackson...
Star Wars isn't a masterpiece. There are reasons why it is beloved, but those movies are a fucking mess (with the exception of Empire). Lord of the Rings is one of those rare times where the stars aligned to create a perfect masterpiece. Everything from costuming and cinematography to acting and music were all as good as they could have been.
Ehh Sci fi vs fantasy. I'm glad you enjoyed this more than star wars but you can't really compare the 2. Not to mention one is 3 decades older at a time when everything was honestly kinda new for filmography wise.
SAME! I've watched the LOTR trilogy about 10 times now, and every time it gets to the part when Frodo reunited with his friends had me choking up to hold back the tears. But that SPECIFIC moment when Aragorn and the world acknowledged what Frodo did releases the waterworks and it's a brutal mess of snot, tissues, and tears
I love Eowen's story. It's such a nuanced and thoughtful breakdown of not just the feminist narrative, but of something much deeper and older. The warrior-maiden is an archetype of humanity. Some women want to fight like men and be heroes in that way. What Tolkien did was show that doing so, that for a brave, free-spirited woman to become a warrior was good and could lead humanity to victory. But then Eowen learns that glory in battle is not the end all be all. She learns to be gentler and to embrace her feminity and that doing so was also good and virtuous and would lead to great things. I love that Tolkien gives Faramir and Eowen very similar arcs: they both see dying in battle as their destiny (for different reasons), but then they both learn to accept their gentler nature and to be nurturing.
There's this one scene in The Lord of the Rings movies that really sticks out when I think about them and that has to be the Boromir and Faramir scene in Return of the King (I think- could be TTT). You can see how much Boromir loves Faramir but hates Dickathor and also how much he cares about Gondor- and we also see that much of what he said about using the Ring comes straight from his father's words in this scene! Also the line "Remember this day, little brother. Today, life is good." kills me every time.
No matter how many times I watch this trilogy I always dread watching the Return of the King, not because it's bad or anything (it's probably my all time favourite movie) but because I don't want the trilogy to end. I'm always overcome with tears at the end as well as the bit where Aragorn tells the hobbits they "bow to no one", I just cri evrytiem. No film or series of films will ever deliver that same emotional impact.
Honestly I'd rank these movies even higher, like these movies NEED to be archived and saved for when the apocalypse comes so the people of then can experience one of the greatest movies mankind ever made.
10. Matrix 9. Jurassic Park 8. Princess Bride 7. Inception 6. Back to the Future 5. Raiders of the Lost Ark 4. Monty Python and the Holy Grail 3. Terminator 2 2. Star Wars original trilogy 1. LOTR trilogy
You’re completely right about the female characters in this film. They were perfect. They were part of the group, they fit in perfectly and it wasn’t all about them being females with something to prove. People will claim that people like me are sexist when I don’t like a movie like Ghostbusters(2016) or Ruby Rose’s Batwoman because I’m “sexist and afraid of strong female characters” are forgetting this film. Nobody complained that one of the strongest characters, Galadriel was female because she was done perfectly. When I watch these movies I don’t even think about their gender. They didn’t tear down the male characters to build up the female characters, each one had their own unique skills and the male and female characters fought side by side. I absolutely loved that scene where Eowyn killed the Ringwraith and said “I’m no man” and it was one of my favorite scenes but now that scene would be political and turn into something feminist. Nobody had a problem with the scene.
I had a problem with that scene because it's a dumb riddle. A woman with a kitchen knife could kill the witch king. It should've been the king of the dead vs witch king. That would have been really cool. "No living man can kill."
You know it's serious when you're listening to Jeremy talk about this film and you start tearing up just visualizing the parts he's talking about. It's been so long since I've watched these movies. It's time for a nice long visit.
My top 5: 1- Lord of the Rings The Return of the King 2- The Good, The Bad and The Ugly 3- Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 4- The Matrix 5- The Shawshank Redemption
Anyone ever come back to this review just because of Jeremy's "Oh wait, the Ring is seven feet from me, otherwise known as the one place it can be destroyed?! Nazgul, get the *** over there!" because it's one of the funniest thing's he's made
+Joe Croker while I love Harry Potter, I just don't think it can match the LOTR. The first two movies seem a little childish, the third is definitely the high point (for me) the fourth is a let down I think, fifth is good, but I don't really like how angry Harry is, the sixth is awesome and the seventh has a weak first part and a pretty badass conclusion. The LOTR is just amazing from beginning to end and even though there are more main characters and less run time (I think) the characters are better developed and I have more empathy for them. Also Harry Potter has too much dues ex machina, and yes I'm aware of the Eagles.
The Lord of the rings trilogy is my favorite of all time for many reasons , but I think for a movie to become your ultimate favorite , you should really feel a connection , something that cuts through the screen, that sense of belonging and total comfort when watching the movies. And that's what I feel when I watch LOTR
rybrentmannftw the man with no name yeh i suppose. But i think that the best Spaghetti western is Once upon a time in the west that film is just mythic.
One moment Jeremy didn't talk about that is one of my favorite scenes in this or any of the LOTR films is the Gandalf & Pippin talk about the afterlife

An Unexpected Journey - 94% The Desolation of Smaug - 94% The Battle of the Five Armies - 90% The Fellowship of the Ring - 99% The Two Towers - 99% The Return of the King - 99% Overall - 96% Best movie franchise ever, nothing matches it in my opinion
You sir obviously are not a true fan of the lotr series, the hobbit did not deserve over 65%, it was a 300 page book dragged on over 3 2 1/2 hr movies! It was a huge letdown for most lotr fans
+EmptyShaftProductions Look, I will be one of the first people to admit that these movies have flaws: the overuse of cgi in over-the-top sets was comical at points, there was a lot of filler, and the pacing was significantly slower than it needed to be. If these movies had been condensed into one long, fast paced movie, with practical effects than it would have rivaled LotR (in my opinion). But it wasn't, and it was still dragged out over three films to milk our wallets, but I still love them anyways. Maybe it is some irrational love for anything Tolkien regardless of it's quality. I don't know, all I know is that I was able to enjoy and love these movies more than most. (and I'm sorry, but this really bugs me, and I'm not trying to sound mad) What is with this "real fan" nonsense? Do I have to criticize people who like the Hobbit movies and criticize people who don't like LotR to be a "real fan"? Do I have to accuse someone of being idiotic or "fake" just because they liked movies that I didn't? If anything, you should be happy that someone was able to enjoy these movies that you deem as disappointments.
+EmptyShaftProductions Also, it was a disappointment initially for me, initially I did not like the first Hobbit movie so much so that I refused to watch the second, and had to be dragged to the third. But I ended up liking the third movie a lot, so much so that I was inspired to watch LotR for the first time. After that, I re-wached the hobbit movies and i liked them more, for me, they got better every time I watched them, same as LotR. And let me be clear, I do not think that the hobbit movies are as good as LotR, but I do love them just the same.
An Unexpected Journey - 6/10 The Desolation of Smaug - 6/10 The Battle of the Five Armies - 5/10 - 5.7/10 overall The Fellowship of the Ring - 10/10 The Two Towers - 9/10 The Return of the King - 10/10 - 9.7/10 overall.
+Clayton Krumm An Unexpected Journey - 75% The Desolation of Smaug - 68% The Battle of the Five Armies - 51% The Fellowship of the Ring - 95% The Two Towers - 90% The Return of the King - 99% Overall - 85%
Another thing to consider is that Frodo bore the burden of Gandalf's death all the way till the end. He never knew until he saw Gandalf in Minas Tirith. Anyway, awesome review!
The end sequence where Frodo sails into the West with the Elves is basically his death, so him saying good-bye to his friends and sweetly smiling at them before leaving, combined with the heartbreaking music throughout the scene, has almost everyone who watches it bawling.
These are my personal favorites. Top 3 standalone Movies: 1. Inception 2. Forest Gump 3. Titanic Top 3 trilogies: 1. The Lord Of The Rings 2. The Dark Knight Trilogy 3. The Bourne Trilogy
Watching this review is bringing back heavy LOTR nostalgia. "Gaah emotion.." sums it up exactly. Thanks for sharing on this excellent trilogy of films.
The best review of the best film of all time that i have ever seen. I actually teared up while you were talking because it reminded me so much of the epicness of the film. Definitely watching it again tonight! Thanks
Lord of the Rings is my favourite ever film/trilogy ever! I just finished studying Film Production in University and the Lord of the Rings is literally my biggest inspiration for that, it is my aspiration and again my inspiration on why I want to travel, see the world, write and visit, work and retire into New Zealand. Watching the trilogy always gets me in tears every time, because in the end, that is the end and I've seen the trilogy over 100 times. I'm actually getting so emotional right now. It makes me so sad that there will never ever be a film as beautiful as this, if you were to compare any film ever made to this trilogy, you could say that the industry is dead, I know it isn't as I still love a lot of films but damn, this trilogy is why who I am today. I can't believe it's taken me this long to find Jeremy's review of this when I've been watching him for a couple of years now, i'm ashamed haha. Also, to find out that Jeremy's favourite film of all time, after so long is the same as mine, it makes me so happy haha.
My favorite movies: 1: The Lord of the Rings (my favorite is The Return of the King) 2: Once Upon a Time in the West 3: The Princess Bride 4: Inception 5: The Beaver (An overlooked masterpiece) 6: The Dark Knight 7: The Shawshank Redemption 8: Serenity (With the context of having watched all of Firefly) 9: Pirates of the Caribbean (I'm that weird person who actually likes World's End best) 10: Finding Nemo 11: Captain America: The Winter Soldier 12: Toy Story 3 13: Braveheart 14: X-Men: First Class 15: Dead Poet's Society 16: Kung Fu Panda 2 17: Heathers (Almost like Mean Girls in the 80's, but with murder) 18: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly 19: Mockingjay Part 1 20: Saint Vincent I'ts pretty hard to put them all in order like this, and I'm probably forgetting some, but that's my best guess as to my top 20.
My favorite movies ever 1. Return of the King 2. Pulp Fiction 3. Forest Gump 4. Empire Strikes Back 5. the Dark Knight 6. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles 7. Whiplash 8. Stand By Me 9. Anchorman 10. Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2 (Tarantino considers them 1 movie, so I do to)
The Battle of Pelennor Fields is probably the best battle scene in LoTR trilogy, now I am really looking forward to see Battle of the five armies on the third film of Hobbit..I hope it would be an epic scene, to see Men of Dale ( from Laketown), Thranduil's Elven Armies, Iron Hills dwarfs, and Great Eagles join forces fighting againts the orcs, goblins, bats and warg armies
Aragorn is one of the coolest characters ever and the scene when everyone bows to the 4 hobbits was incredible. I would also like to say I’m a 20 year old who just watched these movie for the first time and Éowyn is one of the most badass characters in the whole trilogy.
My Ranking of my Top 21 favorites movie of all time are: 1:The Lord of the Rings Trilogy 2:The Dark Knight 3:Star Wars Trilogy 4:Batman Begins 5:The Terminator 6:Terminator 2 Judgment Day 7:The Matrix 8:Back to the Future Trilogy 9:X Men Days of Future Past 10:X Men First Class 11:Spiderman 2 12:Spiderman 13:Mission Impossible 2 14:Mission Impossible 3 15:Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol 16:Mission Impossible 17:The Avengers 18:Man of Steel 19:Predator 20:Face/Off 21:Toy Story Trilogy
Joshua Iles You re not going to believe me but i forgot to put the Narnia trilogy in my list and yes is one of my favorite Trilogy of all time along with The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars Trilogy
On the topic of the endings, I think one of the most powerful moments in the entire trilogy is when the four hobbits are sitting in the green dragon, just looking at each other with this silent understanding. A very short but deep moment.
I agree with Jeremy. If the Lord of the Rings Trilogy was one united movie. It would be my fav. But my fav movie however is Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Ironically Jeremy's least fav of the 3 movies. I love the battle at Helms Deep and love the depth of the movie around it...
The first movie I can remember thinking, "This is my favorite movie," was Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. I was 8. A year later, Jurassic Park replaced it. Jurassic Park held that position for the rest of the decade... until 1999, with The Matrix. I expected The Matrix to remain at the top of my list forever. And it probably would have. But in Christmas of 2001, The Fellowship of the Ring came out, and truly changed my life. I know it sounds silly, a movie changing your life, but I'm not exaggerating. I came out of The Lord of the Rings a different person. Nearly 20 years later, it's till my favorite.
Return of the King is the greatest movie, greatest story ever told. There will never be another. The score, the friendships, the despair, the characters, the victories.. just.. all of it. My friends, you bow to no one. When did a movie ever make you cry like that?
16:57-17:06 - Actually, that's not why he left. He had changed drastically over the course of the journey, corruption seeping into him through the Ring. And he didn't want the Shire to be tainted by the evil that he still had with him. He had to save the Shire one last time.
1. Lord of the Rings trilogy 2. Original Star Wars trilogy 3. Blade Runner 4. 2001: A Space Odyssey 5. To Kill a Mockingbird 6. Serenity 7. Lawrence of Arabia 8. Almost Famous 9. Princess Mononoke 10. Kingdom of Heaven (Director's Cut)
Jeremy's best review imo! Almost as evocative of the movie as the soundtrack Some of my fav movies: - LOTR Trilogy - Dark Knight - 2001: A Space Odyssey - Amadeus - Godfather - Shrek 2 - Life of Brian - Beauty and the Beast - Lion King - Prince of Egypt - Battle Royale - Terminator 2 - Apocalypse Now Honorable mentions: Wall-E, Fight Club and Shawshank Redemption Theres some nostalgia in there for sure and I may have missed some but those are the ones that spring to mind. The Bruce Willis scenes in Pulp Fiction really drag for me otherwise that would probably be there. I'm also not much of a fan of Star Wars, Spielberg or Back to the Future for the record, they just feel insubstantial to me.
The scene with the four Hobbits in the bar is the saddest scene to me. The things they saw and the things they did during the war make it impossible for them to just go back to living their normal lives. Frodo needed to leave because he was scarred beyond any sort of healing. I would imagine this is what Tolkien felt like coming back from the war.
My top 10 favorite movies: 1. Star Wars trilogy (you know which one) 2. Lord of the Rings trilogy 3. The Avengers 4. Toy Story 5. The Dark Knight 6. Back to the Future 7. It's a Wonderful Life 8. Raiders of the Lost Arc 9. The Lion King 10. Alien
I love that Gollum ends up saving the world from Frodo, it totally makes the pity that Frodo and Bilbo had for Gollum and Gandalf’s speech about Gollum having an important plot to play incredibly important to the overall outcome
Peter Clark yeah i would put tdk over lotr if tdk wouldve had a better final movie. rises is good, but a huuuuuuuuuuuge comedown from begins and dark knight, even moreso than jedi from star wars and empire.
My favorite movies: 10 Grown ups 9 jack and Jill 8 grown ups 2 7 the garbage pail kids 6 moshi monsters movie 5 batman and robin 4 the phantom menace 3 freddy got fingered 2 plan 9 from outer space 1 the room
Favorite movie of all time, LOTR trilogy. 1. LOTR trilogy 2. The Dark Knight Trilogy 3. Terminator 2 4. Star Wars ( the original trilogy, non-edited) 5. Jurassic Park (childhood favorite)
My Top 10 Films Of All Time: (My opinion) 10: Braveheart 9: Amadeus 8: Shrek 2 7: Princess Mononoke 6: Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets 5: Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi 4: Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone 3: LOTR: TT 2: LOTR: FOTR 1: LOTR: ROTK

Some honorable Mentions would be Saving Private Ryan, Sunshine, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Looper, Oldboy, Reservoir Dogs, Requiem for a Dream, Pan's Labyrinth and guardians of the galaxy. I wish I could fit everything in the list. I have a list in my google drive that has no particular order it just lists movies that I think are good. docs.google.com/document/d/13FI0VyZPsrzx2zGgx9JojDkluaEFpBd_W8v_zT4BvQI/edit?usp=sharing

Think about 2001 it is utter crap with slow motion spaceships going in to each other and ok music that is bad other than that list is good. Constructive criticism.
Witch King: come at me bro
Eowyn: I am no bro
😁
that part is one of the few scenes that I don't like very much about this movie
Eowyn is a total badass haha.
More like: I am not your bro, dude.
And then Nazghul is like: I am not your dude, man.
And then she is like: I am no Man.
And he is like: I am not your... wait what?
All MRAs simultaneously got a heartattack from that scene.
No Sam picked up Frodo like a sack of Po Tay Toes
bro tay toes
what is tay toes precious?
Taters
Boil them, mash them, stick 'em in a stew.
Yeeeesss
In full agreement with Jeremy here. People always whine about the long ending but I loved the shit out of it. Insanely good music and the only time, ever, where I felt truly sad that a movie ended.
+Andrew Wang And it's funny because that ending is short compared to the book. In the book the ring is destroyed...and there's literally half book left to read
+Andrew Wang The hobbit schould have had a longer ending, there were still some scenes i would have loved to see!
+Kerzos I have no idea why they didn't touch on what happened to the shire while frodo was gone. Still a big part of the books.
+Andrew Wang i cry EVERY TIME
+Andrew Wang The movie was almost perfect in every way, every scene is amazing in return of the king
I think my favourite scene in this movie was when Aragon just became King and when he gets to the hobbits and they bow at him and he says "my friends, you bow to no one" and everyone just bows down before all the hobbits, that scene was just magnificent, I don't think I've had a bigger smile on my face from any film/scene besides this one
i cried during that scene...Its my favorite scene of all time
+Charlie Giffen YES
I hated how all the people behind the hobbits are on a green screen. It seemed lazy and broke my immersion in the film a bit.
+Prabhat Rayal i cry everytime i see it!
+Charlie Giffen THIS.
You really, REALLY should not compare the 3 Movies and say "this one is better" for me, it is just one 12 Hour Movie.
Tardsmat yes
Exactly! Why does no one get this ?! :D
Theres also not 3 books. Lord of the Rings is one story, just in different parts
Tolkien presented the manuscript of LOTR to the publisher as a single 3000 page or so book. The publisher rejected that instead they divided the book into three parts.
Same here
"Ride now!... Ride now!... Ride! Ride to ruin and the world's ending!Death!(Death!)Death!(Death!)DEATH!(Death!)"
Loved Theoden's speech. Made me wanna grab a horse and ride with them.
+Lars Zingler Do yourself a favor and try to find that speech in german. It is mostly a 1:1 translation (so, you know the words), but the pronounciation and nature of the language makes it even more intense. And I am really the opposite of biased as I 99% prefer the original version and hate most re-dubs. But that speech man...
IDK, "Deeeeaaath" has some resemblense of a willhelm-scream to me. The deep "O" sound in Tod (ger. death) just makes you guts resonate!
Easily my favourite scene in the entire film, I get goosebumps everytime.
Still can't find a better battle scene especially with that pre charge speech
The german dub of the movies is pretty awesome in general and afaik Tolkien even said himself he prefered some terms in german over the english ones (especially Elves vs Elben, also "Auenland" sounds much better than "Shire" for example).
LOTR trillogy is the only trilogy that i can think of which the third one is the best! For me it's the perfect trilogy.
So true.
Indiana jones and the last crusade? Because there is ONLY 3!
I think the same applies to "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", if you consider the "Dollars Trilogy".
Pedro Gonçalves STAR WARS and TLOTR for me
Javianimation I think "The Empire Strikes Back" was much better than "Return of the Jedi".
For Frodo....
Gets me every damn time
+Kebaburrito I know that's old but HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHA
For SAM!!!!!!
And The Braveman SAM
...and for Sam... (he should have added)
"Oh wait, the Ring is seven feet from me, otherwise known as the one place it can be destroyed?! Nazgul, get the ***** over there!"
I fell out of my chair laughing.
Best moment ever
yep, the best part
Me too
janeyrevanescence12 I rewatched it like 3 times and kept laughing every time. Infact, I'm gonna watch it again right now! :D
Edit*: Alright, I lied, I rewatched another 3 times, I need to take a Jeremy Jahns break, this guy is too funny for my own health...
I've watched that bit about five times now. I just keep rewinding. Best study break ever.
RIP Christopher Lee, you played Saruman so well and therefore you will be remembered for quite some time in the movie industry
Quite some time? FOREVER
Yeah he'll for sure
He'll be remembered for way more than just that
Only a spawn of MORRRRDORRRRRR remembers Saruman
He was also awesome as Count Dooku.
I saw Return of the King for the first time today, and I'm in shock. I've never cried during a movie before. Never. And I was choking up from the moment Sam picks up Froto to the end credits. I still can't believe how amazing this movie is. Just... wow
Froto
FOR FROTO!!!!
@@everythingisawesome2903 well... this movie was sooo grand... I watched it almost 3 days ago and I can't recover....😂😂😂 ...I'm at aww...
This. This is good.

Fun fact: In Shakespeare's "Macbeth," the witches tell Macbeth that "no man of woman born" can harm him. At the end he dies to Macduff who was "from his mother's womb untimely ripped." Tolkien felt that Shakespeare missed an opportunity, so he made Eowyn.
that's really interesting thank you. (not being sarcastic I mean that)
I always thought Merry was the one that made it possible for Eowyn to kill the Witch King of Angmar. If Merry didn’t stab the Witch King, Eowyn couldn’t have killed him.
@@RubALamp you are right, the daggers that merry and pippin have were taken from a barrow on their journey to rivendell. These barrows were the burial sights of warriors from the ancient Kingdom of arnor, (the northern equivalent of gondor) which aragorn's ancestors ruled. The kingdom fell into ruin because they were at constant war with the witch King, who controlled angmar, a northern orc territory. The weapons in the barrow were enchanted to be effective against the nazgul, because they were created in this time.
@@davidjones272 Yes; that prophecy is constantly mistaken for a *power* , which it really is not. There *were* ways to kill the Witch King, enchantment on weapons to reach and harm the nazgûl even if they barely had a physical body in the material world. Many people seem to think (and even the Witch King made this terrible mistake, which ultimately cost him his life) that he *can't* be killed by humans, or male humans... But that is not it at all.
The whole deal with the prophecy was, king Eärnur of Arnor and Glorfindel had *just* finished fending off the Witch King, and he was fleeing; Eärnur wanted to go hunt him and kill him for good, but Glorfindel caught a small glimpse of the future: "he will not fall by the hand of man".
This, many people (again, even the WK himself) think means "he can't be killed", but that is literally not what he said, just that whenever he *did* get killed, it wouldn't be a man doing it.
Merry stabbed the fucker with the Barrow Sword which, lo and behold, had an enchantment to momentarily make a nazgûl "corporeal" again; then Eowyn sealed the deal with the face stab; a hobbit and a woman killed him, so he didn't fall by the hand of man...
In the books there is a nice bit of narration as Merry and Eowyn pass out in the ground from the nazgûl's dying power, talking about how, if the person who forged the dagger had known what end it would have come to, they would be very glad; I think that, in the movies, that is the worst consequence of removing Tom Bombadil: all the meaning of Merry's dagger is lost. Maybe they could have shoed in a scene of someone in Rivendell giving the daggers to the hobbits and explaining why they were useful?Idk
@@mordirit8727 it also known that the witch king was afraid of 2 individuals the first was king eanur of gondor who the witch king managed to ambush and kill him the 2nd one was Boromir the 1st a Stewart of gondor who ruled some 1300 before denethor and he was a total badass he had crushed the armies of mordor time and time again and he died due to the effects of an old battle wound after ruling gondor for some 78 years (if I remember correctly )
"Oh wait, the thing is SEVEN FEET from me, otherwise known as the ONE PLACE IT CAN BE DESTROYED?!?!?!
NAAAAAAAZZZGGGUUUUULLLL, GET THE FFFFFFUCK OVER THERE!!!!!!"
- Best JeremyJahns quote ever.
A man agrees.
Max Harrison a woman agrees
Max Harrison aquire
The best scene in ROTR in my opinion is when King Theoden gives that epic speech and the Rohirrim (Rohan army) charge into battle screaming "Death" over and over again with the awesome music in the background. I get shivers down my spine and goosebumps every time.
+LouiseJayneHudson Same for me, that's my favorite scene of anything.
I do too, EVERY TIME... Can't explain why
same here
agree
Jep, one of my favourite scenes of all time.
These reviews are probably the best thing you've ever done on your channel. I love the enthusiasm and investment that you put into this and it reminds me of why I'm still subscribed years later.
Rock on, Jeremy.
+SWEGTA you got to watch the dark knight review that one is pretty good too
I absolutely agree, I watch them every year.
I love you Swegta. Every night I think to myself how nice it’d be to have a Bully 2. But then I realize we live in hell and are expected to buy Shark Cards for life
The Return of the King is literally the most epic fantasy movie ever
17 years on and nothing really comes close
Did I just spend almost 40 minutes watching you talk about lord of the rings? I think I did, I say Jermy Jahns reviews are...Awesometacular
Agreed!

I don't blame you dude. It really is my favorite film of all time.
Tristan Matheny films?
Greatest trilogy of all time, hands down, nothing even close... Not even Star Wars. The casting, the acting, the screenplay, the dialogue, the cinematography, the score, the visual effects, the costumes, the filming locations, the action, the chemistry all EPIC. Such a huge feat in film making, so groundbreaking, never to be repeated or matched. Job well done Peter Jackson...
Completely agree.
Kerek Man
True, although 'The Shawshank Redemption' is simply the Greatest film of all time.
Star Wars isn't a masterpiece. There are reasons why it is beloved, but those movies are a fucking mess (with the exception of Empire). Lord of the Rings is one of those rare times where the stars aligned to create a perfect masterpiece. Everything from costuming and cinematography to acting and music were all as good as they could have been.
Ehh Sci fi vs fantasy. I'm glad you enjoyed this more than star wars but you can't really compare the 2. Not to mention one is 3 decades older at a time when everything was honestly kinda new for filmography wise.
Lol " not even Star Wars " . Star wars is overrated crap , fun to watch but it's not even 50% of Lotr goodness
The lack of "My friends! You bow to no one." hurts my soul. That line, totally created for the movie, makes me bawl like a baby every time.
SAME! I've watched the LOTR trilogy about 10 times now, and every time it gets to the part when Frodo reunited with his friends had me choking up to hold back the tears. But that SPECIFIC moment when Aragorn and the world acknowledged what Frodo did releases the waterworks and it's a brutal mess of snot, tissues, and tears
TrueRomancer04 Agreed tremendously! Every single time.
Yeah, makes me wanna salute to them, and have a single tear drop from my eye, kinda like how Big Boss did in MGS3.
I love Eowen's story. It's such a nuanced and thoughtful breakdown of not just the feminist narrative, but of something much deeper and older. The warrior-maiden is an archetype of humanity. Some women want to fight like men and be heroes in that way. What Tolkien did was show that doing so, that for a brave, free-spirited woman to become a warrior was good and could lead humanity to victory. But then Eowen learns that glory in battle is not the end all be all. She learns to be gentler and to embrace her feminity and that doing so was also good and virtuous and would lead to great things. I love that Tolkien gives Faramir and Eowen very similar arcs: they both see dying in battle as their destiny (for different reasons), but then they both learn to accept their gentler nature and to be nurturing.
Beautifully balanced treatment of feminism and the shield-maiden.
Marvel should take notes, but they won’t
My friends. You bow to no one
i just finished it and that literally made me cry
D Shav I love that seen so much. It makes me giddy every time.

+PatrickProductions12 I just died as well ahaha
I was, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD XD XD
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King is my favorite movie of all time.
Martin Nguyen yeah
Martin Nguyen hell yeah man!
It’s the greatest film in cinematic history!
Aragorn telling the hobbits *"My friends, you bow to no one."* It was one of the greatest moments in cinema history!
I’ll finish Aragorn’s line for you: “You bow to no one. We bow to you.”
There's this one scene in The Lord of the Rings movies that really sticks out when I think about them and that has to be the Boromir and Faramir scene in Return of the King (I think- could be TTT). You can see how much Boromir loves Faramir but hates Dickathor and also how much he cares about Gondor- and we also see that much of what he said about using the Ring comes straight from his father's words in this scene! Also the line "Remember this day, little brother. Today, life is good." kills me every time.
i know them feels
Two towers
No matter how many times I watch this trilogy I always dread watching the Return of the King, not because it's bad or anything (it's probably my all time favourite movie) but because I don't want the trilogy to end. I'm always overcome with tears at the end as well as the bit where Aragorn tells the hobbits they "bow to no one", I just cri evrytiem. No film or series of films will ever deliver that same emotional impact.
Louise Hudson agree! 😊💐
did you watch the hobbit trilogy miss?
Honestly I'd rank these movies even higher, like these movies NEED to be archived and saved for when the apocalypse comes so the people of then can experience one of the greatest movies mankind ever made.

Star Wars ain't one movie bro.
You’re completely right about the female characters in this film. They were perfect. They were part of the group, they fit in perfectly and it wasn’t all about them being females with something to prove. People will claim that people like me are sexist when I don’t like a movie like Ghostbusters(2016) or Ruby Rose’s Batwoman because I’m “sexist and afraid of strong female characters” are forgetting this film. Nobody complained that one of the strongest characters, Galadriel was female because she was done perfectly. When I watch these movies I don’t even think about their gender. They didn’t tear down the male characters to build up the female characters, each one had their own unique skills and the male and female characters fought side by side. I absolutely loved that scene where Eowyn killed the Ringwraith and said “I’m no man” and it was one of my favorite scenes but now that scene would be political and turn into something feminist. Nobody had a problem with the scene.
Not just any ringwraith, The Witch King of Angmar.
I had a problem with that scene because it's a dumb riddle. A woman with a kitchen knife could kill the witch king. It should've been the king of the dead vs witch king. That would have been really cool. "No living man can kill."
You know it's serious when you're listening to Jeremy talk about this film and you start tearing up just visualizing the parts he's talking about. It's been so long since I've watched these movies. It's time for a nice long visit.
Listening to you talk about this movie is almost as good as watching it. That means a lot.
LOTR is the greatest movie ever made

indeed the best

Me...it's one of my favorite things on TH-cam.
Up up down down left right left right ba boom I broke the game I cheated I won..😂😂😂😂😂
best movie and trilogy of all time.
Yes! We share our favourite movie of all time! Lotr will never ever ever be topped
+watvid1 yeah probably never
+Joe Croker while I love Harry Potter, I just don't think it can match the LOTR. The first two movies seem a little childish, the third is definitely the high point (for me) the fourth is a let down I think, fifth is good, but I don't really like how angry Harry is, the sixth is awesome and the seventh has a weak first part and a pretty badass conclusion. The LOTR is just amazing from beginning to end and even though there are more main characters and less run time (I think) the characters are better developed and I have more empathy for them. Also Harry Potter has too much dues ex machina, and yes I'm aware of the Eagles.
I watch the trilogy reviews when I'm feeling down and it always cheers me up. Thanks Jeremy :-)
The Lord of the rings trilogy is my favorite of all time for many reasons , but I think for a movie to become your ultimate favorite , you should really feel a connection , something that cuts through the screen, that sense of belonging and total comfort when watching the movies. And that's what I feel when I watch LOTR
favorite film of all time: LOTR (obviously)
You forgot the best line ever in all of cinema:
*"My friends..... you bow to no one."*
Almost cried at that scene
The LOTR trilogy is the best movie trilogy
The second is the Dark knight trilogy
Elder Trolls no
angus bhattacharya um yeah
I assume you mean batman and no way
rybrentmannftw the man with no name yeh i suppose. But i think that the best Spaghetti western is Once upon a time in the west that film is just mythic.
One moment Jeremy didn't talk about that is one of my favorite scenes in this or any of the LOTR films is the Gandalf & Pippin talk about the afterlife
"NAZGUL, GET THE FUCK OVER THERE!"

Best movie franchise ever, nothing matches it in my opinion
You sir obviously are not a true fan of the lotr series, the hobbit did not deserve over 65%, it was a 300 page book dragged on over 3 2 1/2 hr movies! It was a huge letdown for most lotr fans
+EmptyShaftProductions Look, I will be one of the first people to admit that these movies have flaws: the overuse of cgi in over-the-top sets was comical at points, there was a lot of filler, and the pacing was significantly slower than it needed to be. If these movies had been condensed into one long, fast paced movie, with practical effects than it would have rivaled LotR (in my opinion). But it wasn't, and it was still dragged out over three films to milk our wallets, but I still love them anyways. Maybe it is some irrational love for anything Tolkien regardless of it's quality. I don't know, all I know is that I was able to enjoy and love these movies more than most.
(and I'm sorry, but this really bugs me, and I'm not trying to sound mad)
What is with this "real fan" nonsense? Do I have to criticize people who like the Hobbit movies and criticize people who don't like LotR to be a "real fan"? Do I have to accuse someone of being idiotic or "fake" just because they liked movies that I didn't? If anything, you should be happy that someone was able to enjoy these movies that you deem as disappointments.
+EmptyShaftProductions Also, it was a disappointment initially for me, initially I did not like the first Hobbit movie so much so that I refused to watch the second, and had to be dragged to the third. But I ended up liking the third movie a lot, so much so that I was inspired to watch LotR for the first time. After that, I re-wached the hobbit movies and i liked them more, for me, they got better every time I watched them, same as LotR. And let me be clear, I do not think that the hobbit movies are as good as LotR, but I do love them just the same.

The Desolation of Smaug - 6/10

Another thing to consider is that Frodo bore the burden of Gandalf's death all the way till the end. He never knew until he saw Gandalf in Minas Tirith.

You're gonna get so much hate for that comment. Just letting you.
I just.. I just can't even believe what I just read...
Is this hell?
No it's just sarcasm ;)
MudgateBronn Should've added a Twilight movie for maximum effect :)
the sarcasm is strong with this one.
The end sequence where Frodo sails into the West with the Elves is basically his death, so him saying good-bye to his friends and sweetly smiling at them before leaving, combined with the heartbreaking music throughout the scene, has almost everyone who watches it bawling.
These are my personal favorites.
Top 3 standalone Movies:

Me and my dad quote Aragorn's speech ALL THE TIME! "There may come a day when the strength of man fails... BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY!" Ugh so great!
Watching this review is bringing back heavy LOTR nostalgia. "Gaah emotion.." sums it up exactly. Thanks for sharing on this excellent trilogy of films.
"Up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-start I win" is the greatest line of all in this review. I could not stop laughing!
Jeremy Jahns i say you are...... Awesometacular
True dat!!
LOTR is also my favorite movie - Nothing will ever compare.
from the moment sam says I cant carry the ring but i can carry you mr Frodo to the end of the movie i am in tears
The best review of the best film of all time that i have ever seen. I actually teared up while you were talking because it reminded me so much of the epicness of the film. Definitely watching it again tonight! Thanks
Lord of the Rings is my favourite ever film/trilogy ever! I just finished studying Film Production in University and the Lord of the Rings is literally my biggest inspiration for that, it is my aspiration and again my inspiration on why I want to travel, see the world, write and visit, work and retire into New Zealand. Watching the trilogy always gets me in tears every time, because in the end, that is the end and I've seen the trilogy over 100 times. I'm actually getting so emotional right now. It makes me so sad that there will never ever be a film as beautiful as this, if you were to compare any film ever made to this trilogy, you could say that the industry is dead, I know it isn't as I still love a lot of films but damn, this trilogy is why who I am today.
I can't believe it's taken me this long to find Jeremy's review of this when I've been watching him for a couple of years now, i'm ashamed haha.
Also, to find out that Jeremy's favourite film of all time, after so long is the same as mine, it makes me so happy haha.
My favorite movies:
1: The Lord of the Rings (my favorite is The Return of the King)
2: Once Upon a Time in the West

Whiplash is so good. My favourite movie of all time is Django: Unchained
This was my dad's favorite movie. And I sang that end credits song (Into The West) at his funeral.
Sorry your father passed away.
He's at peace in Valinor now
The Battle of Pelennor Fields is probably the best battle scene in LoTR trilogy, now I am really looking forward to see Battle of the five armies on the third film of Hobbit..I hope it would be an epic scene, to see Men of Dale ( from Laketown), Thranduil's Elven Armies, Iron Hills dwarfs, and Great Eagles join forces fighting againts the orcs, goblins, bats and warg armies
Aragorn is one of the coolest characters ever and the scene when everyone bows to the 4 hobbits was incredible. I would also like to say I’m a 20 year old who just watched these movie for the first time and Éowyn is one of the most badass characters in the whole trilogy.
My Ranking of my Top 21 favorites movie of all time are:
1:The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
2:The Dark Knight
3:Star Wars Trilogy
4:Batman Begins
5:The Terminator
6:Terminator 2 Judgment Day

Do you like the hobbit?
Joshua Iles I haven't watch either of the three films sorry
Bullshit toy story trilogy take one slot?
***** ok, do you like narnia because your profile pic is aslan
Joshua Iles You re not going to believe me but i forgot to put the Narnia trilogy in my list and yes is one of my favorite Trilogy of all time along with The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars Trilogy
On the topic of the endings, I think one of the most powerful moments in the entire trilogy is when the four hobbits are sitting in the green dragon, just looking at each other with this silent understanding. A very short but deep moment.
I agree with Jeremy. If the Lord of the Rings Trilogy was one united movie. It would be my fav.
But my fav movie however is Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.
Ironically Jeremy's least fav of the 3 movies.
I love the battle at Helms Deep and love the depth of the movie around it...
14:10 is the moment that made me subscribe. fucking awesome Jeremy. A++

***** You cannot hide
The first movie I can remember thinking, "This is my favorite movie," was Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. I was 8. A year later, Jurassic Park replaced it. Jurassic Park held that position for the rest of the decade... until 1999, with The Matrix. I expected The Matrix to remain at the top of my list forever. And it probably would have. But in Christmas of 2001, The Fellowship of the Ring came out, and truly changed my life. I know it sounds silly, a movie changing your life, but I'm not exaggerating. I came out of The Lord of the Rings a different person.
Nearly 20 years later, it's till my favorite.
Return of the King is the greatest movie, greatest story ever told. There will never be another. The score, the friendships, the despair, the characters, the victories.. just.. all of it. My friends, you bow to no one. When did a movie ever make you cry like that?
16:57-17:06 - Actually, that's not why he left. He had changed drastically over the course of the journey, corruption seeping into him through the Ring. And he didn't want the Shire to be tainted by the evil that he still had with him. He had to save the Shire one last time.
The scene where Aragorn gets crowned king and sings had me in tears and then him seeing Arwen and kissing her got me even more
Gotta say this is my favorite review of yours. This movie is just too amazing to be described, but you did it anyway. Hats off to you, sir.
1. Lord of the Rings trilogy
2. Original Star Wars trilogy
3. Blade Runner
4. 2001: A Space Odyssey
5. To Kill a Mockingbird
6. Serenity
7. Lawrence of Arabia
8. Almost Famous
9. Princess Mononoke
10. Kingdom of Heaven (Director's Cut)
The Dark Knight should be there imo.
The Dark Knight is somewhere in the top 20.
This video seriously brought tears to my eyes.
how. Is it when he says for frodo
Sam is like: no! And you're like: NOOOOO! "Nazgul get the fuck over there!" :D
I laughed so hard I got light headed and could not breath
hahaa me too :D
priceless indeed :-)
Jeremy's best review imo! Almost as evocative of the movie as the soundtrack
Some of my fav movies:
- LOTR Trilogy
- Dark Knight
- 2001: A Space Odyssey
- Amadeus
- Godfather
- Shrek 2
- Life of Brian
- Beauty and the Beast
- Lion King
- Prince of Egypt
- Battle Royale
- Terminator 2

Honorable mentions: Wall-E, Fight Club and Shawshank Redemption
Theres some nostalgia in there for sure and I may have missed some but those are the ones that spring to mind.
The Bruce Willis scenes in Pulp Fiction really drag for me otherwise that would probably be there.
I'm also not much of a fan of Star Wars, Spielberg or Back to the Future for the record, they just feel insubstantial to me.
The scene with the four Hobbits in the bar is the saddest scene to me. The things they saw and the things they did during the war make it impossible for them to just go back to living their normal lives. Frodo needed to leave because he was scarred beyond any sort of healing. I would imagine this is what Tolkien felt like coming back from the war.
My top 10 favorite movies:
1. Star Wars trilogy (you know which one)
2. Lord of the Rings trilogy
3. The Avengers
4. Toy Story
5. The Dark Knight
6. Back to the Future
7. It's a Wonderful Life
8. Raiders of the Lost Arc
9. The Lion King
10. Alien

Star Wars is a saga not a trilogy
He's talking about the original trilogy, meaning that he likes it but not the prequels
Now that's a list
the prequel right ?
You described the movie so excellently that I only just realized some things in the movie are cooler than I thought. You are the best reviewer.
I love that Gollum ends up saving the world from Frodo, it totally makes the pity that Frodo and Bilbo had for Gollum and Gandalf’s speech about Gollum having an important plot to play incredibly important to the overall outcome
Lord of the Rings truly is THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE!
Top 3 movies of all time, all trilogies:
3) Lord of the Rings trilogy
2) Dark Knight trilogy
1) Original Star Wars trilogy
Agree that those 3 are the best, in my opinion it's between LOTR and Star Wars for first
Peter Clark
yeah i would put tdk over lotr if tdk wouldve had a better final movie. rises is good, but a huuuuuuuuuuuge comedown from begins and dark knight, even moreso than jedi from star wars and empire.
To you, it was. To me, it wasn't.
I was under the impression that that was implied, but I guess I was wrong.
