Fun Facts after this movie: Balin was killed in Moria. He was in the tomb in the Lord of the Fellowship of the Ring. Ori was the skeleton holding the big book next to Balin's tomb as well. Oin, the dwarf with the ear pipe, was killed by the Watcher (the huge kraken-octopus creature) in Moria from the Fellowship of the Ring. Dwalin lived on throughout the Fourth Age and passed away at the age of 340. Gloin was seen accompanying Gimli in the Fellowship of the Ring at the Council of Elrond. Bombur was still the same, eating and drinking. Bifur and Bofur cloistered in the Lonely Mountains with their riches. Dori and Nori participated in the Battle of Dale, which were the Dwarves of Erebor against the Easterlings of Sauron. The Easterlings were those corrupt men seen marching towards the Black Gate during Two Towers, where Frodo, Sam, and Gollum saw them. Dain II Ironfoot became King as we saw. During the War of the Ring, he was killed in the Battle of Dale, defending the body of King Brand of Dale. King Brand was the son of Bain. And Bain was the son of Bard.
I haven't laughed so much, you both are like a breath of fresh air. I maybe a 55 year old grandfather from Scotland, but you have both brightened up a horrible Tuesday night. You both are so funny😅😅😅😂, thank you both for making me laugh and smile, I needed this so much❤
FYI: The gems King Thranduil refers to were part of his Wife's dowry which, after she died in battle,Thranduil contracted with Erebor's craftsmen to put into a wonderful necklace in her memory. (And, as a gift for her when she, like all elves who are killed) would be reincarnated in Valinor). When the work was done, Thranduil came to Erebor to collect the finished Necklace but KIng Thror (Thorin's grandfather) out of greed (Dragon Sickness over the treasures) withheld the necklace, demanding payment OVER AND ABOVE the previously agreed price... hence the bad blood between the Elves of Mirkwood and the Dwarves of Erebor.
That was also my take on why the Wood-elves showed up at Erebor after Smaug drove out the Dwarves. He came for the gems, not the aid the Longbeards. It's the only explanation for how he showed up so quickly.
Richard Armitage played the role of Thorin Oakenshield amazingly. His portrayal of him losing his mind was impressive. This was a great reaction video. Thank you both.
Agreed. Also IMHO 'Balin' and 'Dwalin" , and Lee Pace as Thranduil also really excellent...and great work by the screenplay writers (Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, Philippa Bowen and Guillermo Del Toro) for the lines and character guides ( for want of a better word) for the actors. For such a large cast, the casting is so impressive...great depth despite the more action-oriented nature of this trilogy. .
it's amazing that the ending of this movie was done to match up the scene of Bilbo meeting Gandalf at the Door in Lord of the Rings and The Fellowship of the Ring that way when watching all of the hobbit movies first it flows smoothly to where it would be a continuation of not just Bilbo's story but also of "The One Ring's" journey when starting all of the Lord Of The Ring films.
This film ends with the map on the table - right where Gandalf picks it up after bumping his head on the archway in Fellowship. In a glance he is reminded of the events of these films. Well played.
0:12:20 It makes me smile how two pretty girls who speak so sweetly the rest of the time get bloodthirsty when it's time to bash the bad guys ;) "Get him! Beat his head in! Cook him in a stew!" LOL!!
It is hated by many Tolkien fans as it had just dumb shit in it. Aka Dain riding a pig or those mountain goat things showing up, barrel scenes or the impossible goblin caves chase, let alone the cartoonish guy in drag crap. Overall though a kids book it is still grounded in a grounded world that is lacking. They did get many things right, Smaug, Dwarves at Bilbos House and overall the acting was very good especially Freeman as Bilbo.
In case you missed it, Gandalf started all of this to ensure the black dragon was killed. He did not want it to join with other evil beings, that were growing in strength
Like Merry and Pippen, he started a few rocks rolling which grew into an avalanche culminating with the Lord of the Rings. (In this film universe that is)
There is no writing anywhere in the Professor’s works about if or would Smaug, like the Balrog serve or work with Sauron. Smaug was driven by the evil malice of Morgoth who produced dragons, not the will of Sauron. Sure Smaug might have been a natural Ally BUT after Morgoth’s defeat Sauron was never able to call on any Dragon’s help in all the wars of Angmar nor any other war in the 2nd Age.
By killing Smaug, Erebor and Dale were able to be rebuilt and made obstacles to the Easterlings. Otherwise, Sauron's forces would have swept over the northern lands of Middle-Earth.
elves are master craftsmen, there weapons are elegant and refined dwarves are master blacksmiths, there weapons are robust and just get the job done me, im a very tall dwarf, 7'2" and a retired blacksmith, i used to jokingly call myself "the dwarven giant" during Ren fairs, and my 30 inch beard also helped sell the gimmick
The maps used in the movie (like mountain Erebor at the end) have been originally drawn be Tolkien himself and were first used in his books. A man of many talents he was.
Me and my dad always laugh at the troll ramming it's head into the wall. Dude had one job and he did it 😂😂😂 end of contract Also want you girls to remember something. This is the same Ballin that gimli cried over in moria. The tomb scene in the fellowship movie

•6:58-In the book, that actually is his epithet: Bard the Bowman, captain of a company of Laketown archers. •12:45-And this is why Bard becomes King of the Restored Kingdom of Dale. •15:50-Yes, a legion is a military unit, especially in the Roman Republic and Empire. A Roman Legion was comprised of roughly 5,000 troops and at its peak, Rome had 33 legions (450,000 legionaries). The term Legion would be continuously used by other militaries in history and even today (ex. the French Foreign Legion). •17:15-Gandalf in a ring-bearer, wearing Narya, one of the Three Rings given to the Elves. Narya's power is the inspire others to resist tyranny, domination, and despair. •18:16-Yes, here you can trust Saruman the White, for he has not fallen to the Dark Side yet. RIP Sir Christopher Lee. •20:37-So between here and the Fellowship of the Ring is when Saruman the White falls. •21:19-"Any man who must say, 'I am the king' is no true king." - Tywin Lannister •23:29-Thorin is not himself; he is suffering under the influence of dragon-sickness and is not thinking rationally. •23:50-I believe in most militaries, the penalty for sleeping during an assigned watch (at least historically) is death. •37:10-Ecthelion II, son of Turgon, Steward of Gondor is the father of Denethor II and thus the grandfather of Boromir and Faramir. •37:37-The Dwarves use ravens to send messages. This raven in particular was the one Thorin sent to his cousin Dain Ironfoot, son of Nain, Lord of the Iron Hills, calling him to aid Thorin against the Men of Laketown and the Elves of the Woodland Realm. •43:06-That is the one troll you can feel bad for; he's got the worst job in the army. •50:04-The closest this film gets to the epicness of the horns of Rohan. •52:38-In the book, Agog was already dead, killed by Dain at the Battle of Moria. •57:24-Winter is already here. Remember that Durin's Day is observed when the last moon of autumn and the first sun of winter appear in the sky together. If Durin's Day has come and past, then it's already winter. •1:00:05-It is deeper than that; Thranduil still holds on to the love he had for list late wife Calathiel and it is implied that the White Gems of Lasgalen were hers, which is why Thranduil want them back so much. th-cam.com/video/H1589qbXUGo/w-d-xo.html go to 0:47. •1:09:22-So the titular five armies are 1)the Dwarves of the Iron Hills plus Thorin and Company, 2) the Wood Elves of the Woodland Realm, 3) the Men of Laketown/Restored Dale, 4) the Orcs of Dol Guldur and Gundabad, and 5) the Great Eagles plus Radagast the Brown and Beorn. •"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. But sad or merry, I must leave it now. Farewell." - the final words of Thorin, son of Thrain, King Under the Mountain •1:14:35-There's a version of this scene in which Gandalf gives a eulogy. th-cam.com/video/LndlZrh2iN8/w-d-xo.html •1:15:03-So with the deaths of Thorin, Kili, and Fili, the throne of Erebor passes to Dain Ironfoot, Thorin's cousin. Also note that the Arkenstone will be buried with Thorin, meaning it will be returned to the earth. •1:16:51-So Gandalf knows Bilbo found a ring. What he doesn't know yet is that it's the One Ring. Also, the Baggins family was already wealthy before Bilbo returned with a portion of his 1/14th share (he didn't bring back his entire share, despite what the Sackville-Bagginses think). •Here's what happens to the rest of Thorin and Company 1. Balin will lead a Dwarvish expedition to reclaim Moria, becoming Lord of Moria. Oin and Ori will join him. However, they will fail to overcome the Balrog and be overwhelmed by goblins. You may recall the Fellowship comes across Balin's tomb and in fact the skeleton that Gandalf pulls the log from is Ori. 2. Gloin will accompany his son Gimli to the Council of Elrond. 3. Bombur is said to have gotten so fat that it requires several dwarves to carry him from the couch to the dinner table. 4.It can be assumed that the rest of the company may have fought in the Battle of Dale, in which the Dwarves and Men of Dale hold off hordes of Easterlings, during the War of the One Ring and then live on into the Fourth Age.
Most people probably know this already but I've had people ask me irl. When Thorin refers to Fili and Kili as his sister-sons it means his nephews (son's of his sister). It was especially meaningful when they had raised them as their own child. Eowyn was the sister-daughter of King Theoden of Rohan, but he raised her as his own daughter.
I don’t know if you girls noticed this but the chest Bilbo was carrying was the same one the dwarves buried in the troll cave in the first movie. Sadly, Bilbo had to use most of the treasure in the chest to buy back all his stuff that got auctioned off 😭
I just wanna say two things about the intros: First, the two girls have a great flow in terms of their back-and-forth conversations before and after the films...like neither of them say anything too short or too long and both give very even amounts of time...i feel like it is naturally done just right! And ALSO I wanted to point out what a pro Chi is when presenting the information about patreon and all that...I literally am entertained even watching her say that exact same part every time at that moment, just because it's fun to see her do it so well each time! Such a quick, professional flow...she kinda even says it like she gives no shits and is too cool to even possibly worry about making a mistake and it's always so great to see! And that's not even to mention the high quality of the rest of the videos as well!! 😄😄
What is not told about the Elven King is that the necklace he desire was his in the past. The last memory he had about his wife. In the movies it seems that he is greed, but he only want what was his since the beginning
Yes, though the story about Thranduil's queen and Gundabad is original to the films. Tolkien never writes anything about Legolas' mother or her fate; for all we know she is still alive. The story about the White Gems of Lasgalen is based on the First-Age legend of the Nauglamir (dwarf-necklace) and the fall of the Elf-king Thingol and his realm of Menegroth at the hands of the Dwarves of Nogrod. This is the source of the enmity between the Elves and the Dwarves.
@@otaku-sempai2197Yes, you are right. I was check the information and remembered the story about Thingol and Dwarves. But about the Thranduil I could not remember where I heard about his wife.
Fun fact, the song in the end of the movie, on the start of credits is "The Last Goodbye" by Billy Boyd - who played Pippin in Lord of The Rings 😊 never fails to make my smile and sob at the same time
It has been such a pleasure to revisit Bilbo's adventure with you. The realization that the adventure has come to an end, and that your time in Middle-Earth is over, can leave you quite sad. But there is comfort to be found in the words of Gandalf, that "Not all tears are an evil." You can visit Middle-Earth any time you wish... just hit PLAY.
Or open one of JRR Tolkien's books. Or listen to an audiobook version. Andy Serkis (who voiced and acted as Gollum/Smeagol) recently has made audiobooks of The Hobbit and of The Lord of the Rings.
Ladies I don't know if you already knew that Balin the old dwarf with the white beard is the dwarf who in the Lord of the Rings the companions lay in the stone coffin in the mines of Kasatum and the dwarf with the funny hat (the skellet with the book) that Gandalf read from. Some of the dwarves from The Hobbit later died in the Mines of Moria.
King Dain was Thorin's cousin and the Lord of the Iron Hills. Here's a bit of trivia that highlights the differences between the books and the films: In Tolkien's legendarium, Aragorn was still just a 10 year-old boy at the time of the Battle of Five Armies, not yet a young Ranger called Strider. Tauriel was original to the films. She was originally going to be named Itaril and Saoirse Ronan was one of the actresses up for the part. Here is the original casting call: "[ITARIL] FEMALE, A WOODLAND ELF, this character is one [of] the Silvan Elves. The Silvan Elves are seen as more earthy and practical. Shorter than other elves, she is still quick and lithe and physically adept, being able to fight with both sword and bow. Showing promise as a fighter at a young age, ITARIL was chosen to train to become part of the Woodland King’s Guard. This is the only life she has ever expected to live, until she meets and secretly falls in love with a young ELF LORD. This role will require a wig and contact lenses to be worn. Some prosthetic make-up may also be required. LEAD. AGE: 17-27. ACCENT ’ STANDARD R.P."
Ok the dwarfs using ballistas that throw a projectile blocking screen infront of their cavalry was really cool. In videogames and fantasy dwarfs tend to be good at using machines. It makes up for how slow they are.
Am I the only one who heard Hela call "Nicholas" all the time, wondering who she was calling for - until the penny finally dropped and I understood that she was calling for Legolas? XD
That final battle was absolutely epic and the main spectacle centerpiece. This was quite the trilogy and a conclusion to it, it was a wild ride for sure.
28:20 Yes, at this point in the stories Bilbo has possession of the Mithril coat, The Arkenstone, & The One Ring. Bravo for picking up on that. Namarie'
@@terrylandess6072 Yeah, it made me realize that Star Wars and LOTR are war movies, but they are also full of joy and wonder. I realized that watching Chi and Hella.
38:00 An army of dwarves appears ready to fight the elves. A baffled Hella, "I don't know who to support." Chi, "I'm speechless." Hella, "Gandalf get outta here..."
I liked a lot of the elements in the Hobbit movies. I also liked some of the storylines added, like the female elf and the drawf and the rescue of Gandalf . The issue for me was some of the set pieces were overblown to ridiculousness. Like the whole fight with the dragon against the drawfs in the mine, the river escape, and pretty much large part of the final battle. I think the three movies could have been edited down to two and those set pieces removed or toned down and made more realistic. Those parts were just too cartoony and broke my connection to the movie. But overall I think there was a lot to like with these movies.
Yeah that I think is what I feel is off for the Hobbit movies as well. Some of it is too bright or something just not right with the rest of how The Lord of the Rings is originally. The two Trilogies don't mesh well together.
Also, the added storyline of elf/dwarf romance was just time padding in my opinion, the movies didn't really benefit from it nor it would have lost anything without it
So much ridiculous crap added to these movies. I can understand putting in some of the stuff they left out of the LotR movies, like Radagast - even if it was forced and klunky. But all those extra "dramatic moments" like dropping the key, and the mountains coming to life, and the battle on the river were just padding, and added nothing to the story.
Great reaction as always! I thought I'd throw a few suggestions your way, if you don't mind: - Pan's Labyrinth -- a beautiful, yet dark, fairy tale; just a magical movie, and one of my favs :) - Arrival -- a really interesting and deep sci-fi movie - Nightmare Before Christmas -- perfect for Halloween coming up in a couple of months
I have enjoyed this journey with Chi Baggins and Hella Baggins! You girls are awesome and did a great reaction to the Hobbit trilogy! I too wish there were more movies like this! Well maybe they will make a side story similar to this trilogy!?! Thanks for sharing and Great reaction Chi and Hella Baggins! 😂 I luv Movie Munchies ❤️💛
I don’t “geology” was the word you were looking for, Chi. But you’re still adorable, and thank you so much for learning our language. I think you meant, Anthology.
8:52 With word spreading far and wide that the dragon is dead, everyone will now want to come and take treasure. even the best thieves in Middle Earth feared Smaug and so didn't even bother to come. now that he's gone, what's to stop an army of thieves from invading the mountain?
Lets hope they make a film of The Silmarillion.The Silmarillion is a book consisting of a collection of myths and stories in varying styles by the English writer J. R. R. Tolkien.The Silmarillion is the history of the War of the Exiled Elves against the Enemy, which all takes place in the North-west of the world (Middle-earth). Several tales of victory and tragedy are caught up in it; A great book.
A big reason people didn't like the three Hobbit movies is because of all the CGI, the over the top/silly fighting and one of the biggest reasons is the made up love story that was never in the book. Also Legolas never appeared and was never mentioned in the Hobbit story.
Absolutely love Hobbit and LotR trilogy ... These are masterpieces of cinematic universe. Now ladies, when are we reacting to Avatar (2009) ? Another masterpiece if you ask me which should be watched at least once.
Surprisingly, most people don't know the difference between mono and stereo sound. 🙄 Every video is always different, who has the headphones on the right way. The chord is always on the left side of headphones that only have one chord. Easy to remember. 😉
And yet, although Eru breathed a soul into the dwarves, they are still greedy, cruel and impudent. Probably because they were originally created by Aule without Eru's permission.
I truly loved your reactions! I really enjoyed it. Btw I recommend you girls to not watch “the rings of power tv show series” because it was created by those that didn’t read books and watch the original movies that you’ve reacted to. I hope you beautiful girls take a chance of watching and reacting Inuyasha tv show series.
17:56 these are not the 7 kings, these are 9 former kings, if you remember in lord of the rings these are the black riders, and the nazgul, the one who stab frodo baggins is the witch king of angmar

Yes, that was a good one.
Chi's bloodlust can not be sated.

It was still smart to kill him before he might get the opportunity to choose, on Gandalf's part.
By killing Smaug, Erebor and Dale were able to be rebuilt and made obstacles to the Easterlings.
Otherwise, Sauron's forces would have swept over the northern lands of Middle-Earth.

3. Bombur is said to have gotten so fat that it requires several dwarves to carry him from the couch to the dinner table.
4.It can be assumed that the rest of the company may have fought in the Battle of Dale, in which the Dwarves and Men of Dale hold off hordes of Easterlings, during the War of the One Ring and then live on into the Fourth Age.
Most people probably know this already but I've had people ask me irl. When Thorin refers to Fili and Kili as his sister-sons it means his nephews (son's of his sister). It was especially meaningful when they had raised them as their own child. Eowyn was the sister-daughter of King Theoden of Rohan, but he raised her as his own daughter.
JRR Tolkien was a good author!❤️
He was a GREAT author!
I don’t know if you girls noticed this but the chest Bilbo was carrying was the same one the dwarves buried in the troll cave in the first movie. Sadly, Bilbo had to use most of the treasure in the chest to buy back all his stuff that got auctioned off 😭
I just wanna say two things about the intros: First, the two girls have a great flow in terms of their back-and-forth conversations before and after the films...like neither of them say anything too short or too long and both give very even amounts of time...i feel like it is naturally done just right!
And ALSO I wanted to point out what a pro Chi is when presenting the information about patreon and all that...I literally am entertained even watching her say that exact same part every time at that moment, just because it's fun to see her do it so well each time! Such a quick, professional flow...she kinda even says it like she gives no shits and is too cool to even possibly worry about making a mistake and it's always so great to see! And that's not even to mention the high quality of the rest of the videos as well!! 😄😄
What is not told about the Elven King is that the necklace he desire was his in the past. The last memory he had about his wife. In the movies it seems that he is greed, but he only want what was his since the beginning
Yes, though the story about Thranduil's queen and Gundabad is original to the films. Tolkien never writes anything about Legolas' mother or her fate; for all we know she is still alive. The story about the White Gems of Lasgalen is based on the First-Age legend of the Nauglamir (dwarf-necklace) and the fall of the Elf-king Thingol and his realm of Menegroth at the hands of the Dwarves of Nogrod. This is the source of the enmity between the Elves and the Dwarves.
@@otaku-sempai2197Yes, you are right. I was check the information and remembered the story about Thingol and Dwarves. But about the Thranduil I could not remember where I heard about his wife.
@@danilokenobi You probably saw it in some of the promotional material for the films!
Fun fact, the song in the end of the movie, on the start of credits is
"The Last Goodbye" by Billy Boyd - who played Pippin in Lord of The Rings 😊 never fails to make my smile and sob at the same time
Great reaction thanks!
It has been such a pleasure to revisit Bilbo's adventure with you. The realization that the adventure has come to an end, and that your time in Middle-Earth is over, can leave you quite sad. But there is comfort to be found in the words of Gandalf, that "Not all tears are an evil." You can visit Middle-Earth any time you wish... just hit PLAY.
Or open one of JRR Tolkien's books. Or listen to an audiobook version. Andy Serkis (who voiced and acted as Gollum/Smeagol) recently has made audiobooks of The Hobbit and of The Lord of the Rings.
The scene where Dwalin confronts Thorin always gets me in the feels
12:18 so dainty, so delicate, so savage, hahaha . . . . can't get enough Hella :o)
So glad to see you enjoyed this series too. Some great moments sprinkled throughout this trilogy 😁
Chi and Hella thank you for going through this entire series it has been awesome you women rock!
The actor that shoots the black arrow at the dragon also plays a great role as Dracula!
He was fun as an antagonist in a Fast and Furious film. Very charismatic.
Oh, so sad: The last one. Thank you Movie Munchies for the reaction. We were happy to relive the adventure with you for this final installment.
Ladies I don't know if you already knew that Balin the old dwarf with the white beard is the dwarf who in the Lord of the Rings the companions lay in the stone coffin in the mines of Kasatum and the dwarf with the funny hat (the skellet with the book) that Gandalf read from. Some of the dwarves from The Hobbit later died in the Mines of Moria.
Dwarves can be very stubborn for their own good.
Ori is the dwarf who Gandalf took the old book of records from in Balin's Tomb room.
40:50 "too many animes". True, there's alot of animes out there, Chi lol. ( I know she means enemies but I can't help but think of animes lol)
1:15:05 Dain is not Thorins Father or Uncle he is Thorins cousin. The line of Durin (the first dwarf to awaken) flows through them
King Dain was Thorin's cousin and the Lord of the Iron Hills.
Here's a bit of trivia that highlights the differences between the books and the films: In Tolkien's legendarium, Aragorn was still just a 10 year-old boy at the time of the Battle of Five Armies, not yet a young Ranger called Strider.
Tauriel was original to the films. She was originally going to be named Itaril and Saoirse Ronan was one of the actresses up for the part. Here is the original casting call: "[ITARIL] FEMALE, A WOODLAND ELF, this character is one [of] the Silvan Elves. The Silvan Elves are seen as more earthy and practical. Shorter than other elves, she is still quick and lithe and physically adept, being able to fight with both sword and bow. Showing promise as a fighter at a young age, ITARIL was chosen to train to become part of the Woodland King’s Guard. This is the only life she has ever expected to live, until she meets and secretly falls in love with a young ELF LORD. This role will require a wig and contact lenses to be worn. Some prosthetic make-up may also be required. LEAD. AGE: 17-27. ACCENT ’ STANDARD R.P."
Ok the dwarfs using ballistas that throw a projectile blocking screen infront of their cavalry was really cool.
In videogames and fantasy dwarfs tend to be good at using machines. It makes up for how slow they are.
Am I the only one who heard Hela call "Nicholas" all the time, wondering who she was calling for - until the penny finally dropped and I understood that she was calling for Legolas?
XD
That final battle was absolutely epic and the main spectacle centerpiece. This was quite the trilogy and a conclusion to it, it was a wild ride for sure.
great reaction! you enjoyed it more than me, i enjoyed it more through you lol
28:20
Yes, at this point in the stories Bilbo has possession of the Mithril coat, The Arkenstone, & The One Ring.
Bravo for picking up on that.
Namarie'
I love these ladies so much!!❤
31:12 Pretty sure an orc army has never before been described as, "Powerful and crowded" - Chi and "angry and feisty." - Hella.
It's so entertaining to get fresh eyes on the films they react to.
@@terrylandess6072 Yeah, it made me realize that Star Wars and LOTR are war movies, but they are also full of joy and wonder. I realized that watching Chi and Hella.
1:05:40 Nicholas! Nicholas!....Nicholas!
38:00 An army of dwarves appears ready to fight the elves.
A baffled Hella, "I don't know who to support."
Chi, "I'm speechless."
Hella, "Gandalf get outta here..."
"We tried...." Hilarious.
I liked a lot of the elements in the Hobbit movies. I also liked some of the storylines added, like the female elf and the drawf and the rescue of Gandalf . The issue for me was some of the set pieces were overblown to ridiculousness. Like the whole fight with the dragon against the drawfs in the mine, the river escape, and pretty much large part of the final battle. I think the three movies could have been edited down to two and those set pieces removed or toned down and made more realistic. Those parts were just too cartoony and broke my connection to the movie. But overall I think there was a lot to like with these movies.
Yeah that I think is what I feel is off for the Hobbit movies as well. Some of it is too bright or something just not right with the rest of how The Lord of the Rings is originally. The two Trilogies don't mesh well together.
The death of Smaug happening before the title card was a crime.
Also, the added storyline of elf/dwarf romance was just time padding in my opinion, the movies didn't really benefit from it nor it would have lost anything without it
So much ridiculous crap added to these movies. I can understand putting in some of the stuff they left out of the LotR movies, like Radagast - even if it was forced and klunky. But all those extra "dramatic moments" like dropping the key, and the mountains coming to life, and the battle on the river were just padding, and added nothing to the story.
the dream team is back! Chi and Hella! you guys are the best and I love Hella's "jeans top" lol very interesting design there
Thank yall for sharing these reactions! Amazing and beautiful as always!
Thanks girls I love your channel big screen and you show more of the movie than other chanels do and your empathy watching from Canada
A Legion is : the principal unit of a army comprised of 3000 to 6000 walking and riding soldiers. Origin ancient Roman Military.
"Everyone should just grab a bat" 🤣🤣
"Everyone, grab a bat!" 🤣🤣🤣
The wise and kind old dwarf with the beard was the one who lied dead in Moria that Gimli cried for on his grave.
I'm glad I got to see your reaction to this tribology so I don't have to rewatch them. I only saw them when they came out and that's enough.
I don't know if you two know this, but the Shire, Hobbiton, is a real place. It's in Matamata, New Zealand. It cost $72 a ticket to visit it
"Now can you die, please?" "Yeah, die, close your eyes and don't open it, ever." ROFLMAO :D 1:11:06
There's a few scenes in your reaction that are not in my DVD, they were a delightful surprise 😊
"When will this war end??" When frodo destroys the ring, remember?
Great reaction as always!
I thought I'd throw a few suggestions your way, if you don't mind:
- Pan's Labyrinth -- a beautiful, yet dark, fairy tale; just a magical movie, and one of my favs :)
- Arrival -- a really interesting and deep sci-fi movie
- Nightmare Before Christmas -- perfect for Halloween coming up in a couple of months
I have enjoyed this journey with Chi Baggins and Hella Baggins! You girls are awesome and did a great reaction to the Hobbit trilogy! I too wish there were more movies like this! Well maybe they will make a side story similar to this trilogy!?! Thanks for sharing and Great reaction Chi and Hella Baggins! 😂 I luv Movie Munchies ❤️💛
The reaction of the small Asian princesses is incredible !!!
its so CUTE how she keeps saying TRIOlogy.. i did the same mistake for years .. 8)
Maybe 5 percent of this movie was in the books. Peter turned it up past 11.
My favorite Eastern elves strike again.
I don’t “geology” was the word you were looking for, Chi. But you’re still adorable, and thank you so much for learning our language.
I think you meant, Anthology.
Me encanta las reacciones de estas dos jajajaja se toman las películas tan enserio.
8:52 With word spreading far and wide that the dragon is dead, everyone will now want to come and take treasure. even the best thieves in Middle Earth feared Smaug and so didn't even bother to come. now that he's gone, what's to stop an army of thieves from invading the mountain?
Lets hope they make a film of The Silmarillion.The Silmarillion is a book consisting of a collection of myths and stories in varying styles by the English writer J. R. R. Tolkien.The Silmarillion is the history of the War of the Exiled Elves against the Enemy, which all takes place in the North-west of the world (Middle-earth). Several tales of victory and tragedy are caught up in it; A great book.
Battle of the 5 army: 10.000 elves, 6.000-5.000 dwarves and 300-200 lake men vs 30.000 orcs of the army of Azog and 10.000 Gundabad's Orcs
And the eagles
A big reason people didn't like the three Hobbit movies is because of all the CGI, the over the top/silly fighting and one of the biggest reasons is the made up love story that was never in the book. Also Legolas never appeared and was never mentioned in the Hobbit story.
Btw, Gandalf has many names...
Incánus
Láthspell
Mithrandir
Olórin|
Stormcrow
Tharkûn
The White Rider
Absolutely love Hobbit and LotR trilogy ... These are masterpieces of cinematic universe. Now ladies, when are we reacting to Avatar (2009) ? Another masterpiece if you ask me which should be watched at least once.
Awesome reaction of my favorite The Hobbit movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
4:10 bell is tolling in case someone didn't notice
You should see Clifford, Medicine Man, Step Brothers, The Score
I Thank you for all the reactions ^^ youre awesome guys .
Wonderful books, and very good movies.
thank you for your WONDERFUL REACTION ladies! 👍☺
Thorin won't give Bard "a single coin" even though Bard single-handedly killed Smaug?!
Thorin sucks.
YESSS finallly getting to see your amazing reaction on this !!!! :D
What are your thoughts on Bolg? (tehe)
I enjoy your reactions more than I like that movie! lol
Hi everyone
I was really sad when Kili died
47:23 Not sure what Hella grumbles, but this would make a great youtube short.
Surprisingly, most people don't know the difference between mono and stereo sound. 🙄 Every video is always different, who has the headphones on the right way.
The chord is always on the left side of headphones that only have one chord. Easy to remember. 😉
Amazing reaction
You could watch "Tolkien" (2019) it is about the author as a young man.
39:59 Oh my goat!
"Bowman" are people who use bows to shoot arrows. It's not a name he was calling him. He is a bowman.
And yet, although Eru breathed a soul into the dwarves, they are still greedy, cruel and impudent. Probably because they were originally created by Aule without Eru's permission.
Never cross Chi. You’ve been warned.
why they dont understand that thorin is sick, the pink girl is so upset it should be sad but ok
I truly loved your reactions! I really enjoyed it. Btw I recommend you girls to not watch “the rings of power tv show series” because it was created by those that didn’t read books and watch the original movies that you’ve reacted to. I hope you beautiful girls take a chance of watching and reacting Inuyasha tv show series.
56:35 Annoying Unibrow dies in a most satisfactory way... (Extended Version Only.)
Movie Munchies celebrates as if a Death Star was destroyed.
"Are They OK"? shhh it must always be said.
17:56 these are not the 7 kings, these are 9 former kings, if you remember in lord of the rings these are the black riders, and the nazgul, the one who stab frodo baggins is the witch king of angmar
56:10 Hella knows! Sometimes when the staff doesn't work, you gotta rub it!
You need to watch the Last Goodbye MV sang by Pippin. It has compilations of both the Hobbit and the LOTR. Please do a reaction on it!!
Love you guys 💛
Hi from New Zealand 🇳🇿🥝🙃, hoping everyone's having a wonderful 2024
💛🌏💛
Chi and Hela would make beautiful angelic looking elves ❤❤❤
