I had never noticed it either, and was coming to comment on the same thing. I had always thought Boromir's characterization was off in the films, but now watching them after several years I can see that I was a bit too quick to reach that judgement.
Watched the 4K enhanced extended version the other day. Still looks amazing to this day. Really could’ve been made yesterday and nobody would know the difference.
@@kettch777Oin arguably got it even worse. He was snatched up by the Watcher in the Water while trying to escape the mines through the back gate. There probably wasn't even a body to recover.
It doesn't necessarily make it any less sad, but it's worth noting these events are several decades later. I'm pretty sure Balin made the most of his life before his death in Moria and he must have been getting pretty old given his apparent age at the time of the Hobbit. If I recall correctly he was around 170-180 during the Hobbit, so give or take another 50 years and with their average lifespan around 250, he was likely pretty old. That said, it's also apparent that Balin and the others in Moria have been dead for some time once the Fellowship happens upon them. There may be some details I'm missing but I'd hazard a guess that it wasn't more than 10 or so years for Gimli to have not heard of what had happened.
Growing up as a kid I got to see all of the Lord Of the Rings movies at the cinema on opening days. This is the most memorable scene by far across the whole trilogy
@jamiejones7325 What are you on about, nothing I mentioned had anything to do with gender politics. There's still plenty of great movies and media being made today. You don't need to force politics into every discussion. Can we just appreciate that this scene is badass?
For me it will always be the rohirrim charge. But if i was to say what were the most memorable from each movie. It would go, this moria sequence along with the balrog, gandalf arriving at helms deep, and of course the rohirrim charge. Greatest trilogy of all time
I saw them all in the theaters, but was still kind of too young to remember. The only part of the trilogy I vividly remember was in The Return of The King, when Gandalf was riding out into Pelennor fields to intercept the Nazgul that were chasing the Gondorians and lighting his staff up to chase them off. I remember sitting in the dark theater like "god this movie is so cool"
All I have to do is catch 5 seconds of a LOTR clip, and I'm longing for the 3 box directors cut, chicken wings and ice cold coke. God I love this film. The acting, the score, the cinematography. A perfect perfect movie!!!
@@mononoke813 Doesn't seem it. I mean next FotR is 24 years old. I wonder if they'll ever be a super-duper, super-long directors cut? I wouldn't mind an extra 20 minutes or so per film, not in the slightest.
This scene is the most impactful movie theater experience I’ve ever had, and I’m quite sure it will never be topped. I was born in 1990 and my mom picked me up after school and we went to see this. I was 11 years old. I remember it like it was yesterday.
It's funny because he's been around for so long an knows all the hobbit families and the Tooks were the bravest and most illustrious of families, which just highlights his frustrations with Pippin. - side note I don't think Gandalf ever calls him Pippin but always uses his full name when referring to him
@@nobodyspecial115 There were two instances in Return of the King, I recall. (Maybe more) After Pippin's encounter with Sauron through the palantir, Gandalf says, "There was no lie in Pippin's eyes. A fool, but an honest fool, he remains." Also, while they are talking to Denethor, Gandalf refers to him as Pippin, after he told him beforehand not to say anything and did so anyway.
"They have taken the Bridge and the Second Hall. We have barred the gates, but cannot hold them for long. The ground shakes... Drums. Drums in the deep. We cannot get out. A Shadow moves in the dark... We cannot get out... They are coming." Chills.
@@kulio1214 Try to write normally when facing a certain death at the hand of goblins' army. The original poster just quoted what Ori wrote on his book.
Love how the text gradually becomes more erratic. You can imagine poor Ori frantically scrawling his account as the goblins swarm into the chamber. The bloodstains on the last page are so chilling.
I just realized. Had Pippin not accidentally knocked that skull down the well, Gandalf wouldn't have become Gandalf the White in time, because that would've likely greatly helped them in avoiding the goblins and the Balrog altogether. Sooooo.....Pippin just saved the entire Trilogy with that mistake.
Every character, clever, stupid, brave, cowardly, has something to offer to the story, a role to play... “Frodo: 'It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill Gollum when he had the chance.' Gandalf: 'Pity? It's a pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play in it, for good or evil, before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many.'
At the time of Lord of the Rings Legolas is 2,931 years old. He's not just incredibly experienced, but incredibly humble in that he is willing to defer to the leadership and judgment of Aragorn who is only 87 years old.
This is a prime example of what a good D&D session would look like GM: Ok gandalf roll for inspection *rolls 20* nice ok you notice a book and in it describes what happened and warns about potential enemies in the area. Ok Pippin your turn roll for inspection *rolls 1* GM: you alert all the enemies in the area
Gandalf: I'd like to roll inspection to see how Frodo survived DM: You see that there is no blood on Frodo but see the hole where his shirt was pierced and can see something shining underneath.

Then things went bad, Balin was killed when Orcish reinforcements arrived, Oin died trying to lead an escape through the Western Gate and found the valley beyond flooded with a monster now in residence, and Ori made it to the end, making a last stand against the Orcs in the Library of Mazarbul. Gimli and Gandalf recognized Ori's handwriting on the final pages, he would be holding the book to the last.
Personally I was more into Harry Potter but yeah these movies were really awesome and introduced a lot of peoples/kids into the world of reading and cinema
Even though this is one of the smaller scale fights we see in the series, the close quartered cornered nature of this fight makes it one of the most anxious for me
The first time I saw this scene in theaters as a kid, my mind was blown away. The sound effects were unreal (still unmatched even today) and frantic energy of the battle in close quarters was completely felt.
This scene ruled so much. Loved how they used the environment. You knew where eveyone was generally in the chaos and there was structure to the fight. So good
Not only that, but a mythril chain vest that was originally gifted to Bilbo from Thorin. Even though by the end Thorin's greed resulted in the destruction of their friendship, it was still a symbol of the good relationship they once had. The gratitude he had for Bilbo willing to help them on their quest.

So the vest couldn't help him. If you look at him, the vest isn't covering him there In the book shelob stings frodos neck.
On the way into moria.....cool wind in my hair. Warm smell of the uruk-hai, rising up through the air. Up ahead in the distance, I saw a glowing red eye, my ring grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night.
How are the odds that you have to cast such a variety of different actors for such iconic characters... and they nailed it for every single of of them. Imo Sir Ian MacKellen, Sean Bean and John Rhys Davies stick out but that's not taking aways anything from the other 6. it's just that their performances throughout the trilogy are 100% and the others maybe at 99.9%. Unmatched in cinematic history.
One key detail I always appreciated about this scene was how different Aragorn and Legolas' stances were with their bows. Showed how they aren't on the same level. Aragorn is no rookie when it comes to bows cause obviously he knows how to hunt being a Ranger and all. But Legolas is a professional, he has his bow tilted. He uses his to kill his enemies all the time
No matter how many times I watch the trilogy, Gimli bawling over Balin's death always makes me want to cry as well, especially after watching The Hobbit and him being the most caring dwarf on Bilbo
Remember the visit of the first movie - and this scene - as if it was yesterday.. couldn't believe my eyes🤩🤩🤩 I left the theatre through one door and went instantly back through another
Todavía recuerdo como si fuera hoy el día que fui al cine a verla, fue algo indescriptible , disfruté muchísimo y lo mejor es que quedaban otras dos, la espera cada año no se me hizo larga , fueron una de esas cosas que te suceden en la vida que te marcan para siempre ❤
This was one of my favorite levels in the LotR Two Towers game, I'd run this level back just for fun It's also pretty much the only battle where you get to see all nine members of the fellowship fighting together, which is cool
Of all things, what I remember most seeing these films in cinema was the intense anticipation as I was walking towards my seat before the Fellowship started
Saruman wasn’t wholly wrong about Gandalf. He isn’t the most sentimental being when it comes to those who have died. Saruman thinks it’s because he’s a cynic like himself, but Gandalf was aware of the eternal nature of all beings in Eru Iluvatar, so death to him wasn’t the tragedy it was to others. Or, so I imagine.
Great scene in the book, even better scene in the movie. The thing I always remember from the first time seeing it in the theater was Legalos being up on the ledge. How easily he dispatched the goblins, savagely, and then how cool of a customer he was when the troll was swinging the chain at him. No fear at all and how smoothly he moved. Great look at his fighting prowess without going full bore Marvel like they did in later movies.
@@mellifont96 definitely a bad show. 99.9% of viewers will agree. Like amazon didn’t even care to try. It’s got no plot or crispy dialogue. And is just a bunch of actors playing fantasy dress up with the lotr branding behind them. If you search for clips of the show, there are hardly any. No memorable scenes, not even memes or viral content.
@@Kryptoniano-n6m I tend to agree with you. I can form my own opinion, I don’t need people telling me not to watch something. But this, they were right about
That troll was sure strong, fierce, savage, and bloodthirsty that he was eager to kill himself a couple of heroes if he could get his hands on them with all those goblins running around. He did hit two goblins by mistake with his club, but I guess he doesn't care in the slightest.
Before i was in the cinema 2001, i knew nothing about orks. It was realy intense to see this "monsters" charging them. And the fight was so awesome. Never forget.
*orcs, I know, it seems petty, but in The Hobbit book, all the way at the start, in the author's note, one of the very first things it says is that _orcs_ and _orks_ are different
You know one of the reasons why this fight works vs anything in Rings of Crap? The actors all convey the right emotions of the situation. The Hobbits all look terrified. Aragorn, Boromer Gandalf, Gimli, and Legolas, all battle hardened veterans, each display both anxiety and nervousnesses for the incoming fight. They all convey that they could be killed in the next few minutes. Morfydd Clark looks like she goes into every battle, no matter what she’s up against, like she’s about to order a fucking pizza.
Another thing I love is Frodo and Sam true Brothers at arms. There is nobody out closer to Frodo than Sam. Aka Sean Aston. He would sacrifice himself for Frodo safely.
Though this does reveal the dwarfs' unfortunate end, it does show Bilbo's resourcefulness showing through. The gift they gave him, which he passed on to Frodo: Mithril, which saved his life in this battle with the troll. In death, the dwarves served good and ensured Sauron's defeat! It's not real, but it's a Great story!
There’s no definitive origin for the orcs. One origin mentions that they did reproduce among themselves. It’s possible they care for each other/their orc families but due to Sauron/Morgoth’s influence and domination of them they despise non-orcs.
Pippin kinda redeems himself for his earlier fuckup, he stays on the troll's back in the end and baits him to lift his head, exposing his throat for Legolas to hit

“They stab it with their Hobbit knives… but they just can’t kill the beast”
I see what you did there...😅
You can check out of Moria any time you like but you can never leave.
Welcome to the hotel, mine moria....such a lovely place.
On the way into moria.....cool wind in my hair. Warm smell of the uruk-hai, rising up through the air. Up ahead in the distance, I saw a glowing red eye, my ring grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night.
"Welcome to the Dwarf Mines of Moria!"~
Pippin what a badass lining up Legolas' shot
How are the odds that you have to cast such a variety of different actors for such iconic characters... and they nailed it for every single of of them. Imo Sir Ian MacKellen, Sean Bean and John Rhys Davies stick out but that's not taking aways anything from the other 6. it's just that their performances throughout the trilogy are 100% and the others maybe at 99.9%. Unmatched in cinematic history.
Such a beautiful trilogy.
This fight with the troll looks so good that it makes the Galadriel fight with troll look like bad fanfiction.
It is bad fan-fiction of the worst kind.
Merry and Pippin go hard at fighting for being Hobbits. Both at the start and when they jump on the troll
Right? It always bugs me when Karl Urban's character doubts Merry after all he's done
The skeleton and the whole chain falling into the well for me is one of the scariest and anxious cinematic moments ever.
"they have a cave troll"
he sounds so done. lmao
One key detail I always appreciated about this scene was how different Aragorn and Legolas' stances were with their bows. Showed how they aren't on the same level. Aragorn is no rookie when it comes to bows cause obviously he knows how to hunt being a Ranger and all. But Legolas is a professional, he has his bow tilted. He uses his to kill his enemies all the time
Epic, good and sad. Even feel a bit for the Troll. He can finally rest. And Boromir is so great. (all are of course.) Simply marvelous.
“They have a cave troll”
The tone he uses, epic.
one does not simply say having a cave troll.
- he said calmly
Mithril. You're full of surprises Mr. Baggins.
Thorin's gift to Bilbo ends up saving Frodo's life....I think Thorin would be smiling on the other side to know that
Pippin’s mistake here hits differently when you remember that, in hobbit years, he’s still a little kid.
Yeah, but Pippin's actor, Billy Boyd, is the oldest of the actors playing the hobbits.
@@aarondavis1265 That means nothing to the story where the character is the youngest. Bro didn't mention the actor....
@@aarondavis1265dumb comment
@JM-dc5rn Not the mention his character is curious, not smart, stupid, and doesn't think before he acts.
More like a late teenager
Like all the world's greatest art, Peter Jackson's "TLOR" only grows more profound with familiarity.
No matter how many times I watch the trilogy, Gimli bawling over Balin's death always makes me want to cry as well, especially after watching The Hobbit and him being the most caring dwarf on Bilbo
You and me both
That’s one of my favorite lines from Gimli. “Ahhh let them come, there is one dwarf yet in Moria that still draws breath”. lol 😂
Remember the visit of the first movie - and this scene - as if it was yesterday.. couldn't believe my eyes🤩🤩🤩 I left the theatre through one door and went instantly back through another
Todavía recuerdo como si fuera hoy el día que fui al cine a verla, fue algo indescriptible , disfruté muchísimo y lo mejor es que quedaban otras dos, la espera cada año no se me hizo larga , fueron una de esas cosas que te suceden en la vida que te marcan para siempre ❤
6:25 Sam absolutely braining dudes with a frying pan is the most organic comic relief in an action sequence I have ever seen.
This was one of my favorite levels in the LotR Two Towers game, I'd run this level back just for fun
It's also pretty much the only battle where you get to see all nine members of the fellowship fighting together, which is cool
You're forgetting Sam, Merry, and Pippin. we're not in the game, only Frodo was in the game
There's only 6 of them in the game
I saw the extended version, and it's like i haven't seen it 20 years ago. What a timeless masterpiece
This scene hits harder since the Hobbit movies. Balin has a face to the name now, and most people loved him.
R.I.P Lord of Moria.
My old and wise grandpa. 😭😭💔💔💔
Of all things, what I remember most seeing these films in cinema was the intense anticipation as I was walking towards my seat before the Fellowship started
When I first saw this, I could've smacked Pippin for being so careless.😂
"Throw yourself in next time and rid us of your stupidity!"
Always loved Gandalf banter with Merry and Pippin.
Sam with the Pan, when Heros become Legends
It would’ve been great if Gandalf paid some respects to Ori here too.. since he did know him before as well in the Hobbit
Saruman wasn’t wholly wrong about Gandalf. He isn’t the most sentimental being when it comes to those who have died. Saruman thinks it’s because he’s a cynic like himself, but Gandalf was aware of the eternal nature of all beings in Eru Iluvatar, so death to him wasn’t the tragedy it was to others. Or, so I imagine.
Keep in mind, that Gandalf aware, that dwarves, like elves, will get to the Halls of Mandos after death.
I think he was more concerned about getting out...than paying respects towards an Ally.
He wasn't aware the the writer was Oin at this point.
and how would he know that it was Ori?
Beautiful handheld camera work. The organic gritty look is missed in later films
I love how Ned Stark said they have a cave troll so casually
I never noticed before how Boromir comforts Gimli @1:27
He wasn’t a bad dude for the most part. The ring screwed him big time lol
Great scene in the book, even better scene in the movie. The thing I always remember from the first time seeing it in the theater was Legalos being up on the ledge. How easily he dispatched the goblins, savagely, and then how cool of a customer he was when the troll was swinging the chain at him. No fear at all and how smoothly he moved. Great look at his fighting prowess without going full bore Marvel like they did in later movies.
You mean Legolas right?
Loving Sean Bean's face as he looks casually annoyed he was almost arrowed 😂
They have a cave troll. Is still one of my favourite all time lines.
I remember hearing those drums the first time ever in theaters so loud and so adrenaline pumping 😮
How do you go from these masterpieces to rings of power……….
Guh-Reed
@@veo16 yep. I havent watched the rings of powers but its hard to fuckup tthe silmarillion and im scared to watch it.
@@mellifont96 definitely a bad show. 99.9% of viewers will agree. Like amazon didn’t even care to try. It’s got no plot or crispy dialogue. And is just a bunch of actors playing fantasy dress up with the lotr branding behind them. If you search for clips of the show, there are hardly any. No memorable scenes, not even memes or viral content.
Honestly I didn't care what fandom said about Rings of Power, I gave it a try but it was crap. Only watched until ep 3
@@Kryptoniano-n6m I tend to agree with you. I can form my own opinion, I don’t need people telling me not to watch something. But this, they were right about
One of the best scenes in the Fellowship of the Ring
That troll definitely still had enough strength to still get frodo with blunt force
That troll was sure strong, fierce, savage, and bloodthirsty that he was eager to kill himself a couple of heroes if he could get his hands on them with all those goblins running around. He did hit two goblins by mistake with his club, but I guess he doesn't care in the slightest.
Amazing to see these films in theatres!
Before i was in the cinema 2001, i knew nothing about orks. It was realy intense to see this "monsters" charging them. And the fight was so awesome. Never forget.
*orcs, I know, it seems petty, but in The Hobbit book, all the way at the start, in the author's note, one of the very first things it says is that _orcs_ and _orks_ are different
"Fool of a Took!", said Gandalf calmly 😂😂😂😂
You know one of the reasons why this fight works vs anything in Rings of Crap?
The actors all convey the right emotions of the situation. The Hobbits all look terrified. Aragorn, Boromer Gandalf, Gimli, and Legolas, all battle hardened veterans, each display both anxiety and nervousnesses for the incoming fight. They all convey that they could be killed in the next few minutes.
Morfydd Clark looks like she goes into every battle, no matter what she’s up against, like she’s about to order a fucking pizza.
Also no allmighty women and no black people where they don't belong
It also looks like they're actually trying to kill eachother, instead of performing a nice choreography
Amen. Terrible actress, awful direction, shit fanfiction. that's it. that is the whole show.
Pippin always pissing gandalf off 😂
I've watched this scene so many times that I can imitate the sound the troll makes when it dies
“They have a cave troll” is still my favorite line of all LotR
It actually makes me wanna cry to seeing this masterpiece, and then having to watch the rings of power.
A timeless masterpiece for the ages. Hope they won’t think of a reboot 20 years from now.
Another thing I love is Frodo and Sam true Brothers at arms. There is nobody out closer to Frodo than Sam. Aka Sean Aston. He would sacrifice himself for Frodo safely.
If anyone who's never played Dungeons & Dragons wants to visualize how a typical Combat Encounter goes...well, this is how we all WISHED it looked.
Though this does reveal the dwarfs' unfortunate end, it does show Bilbo's resourcefulness showing through. The gift they gave him, which he passed on to Frodo: Mithril, which saved his life in this battle with the troll.
In death, the dwarves served good and ensured Sauron's defeat!
It's not real, but it's a Great story!
I love Gimli. Basically "You missed one, you ugly sacks of shit. Come get me, if you think you can"
This movie had cliffhangers at every point!!! Peak Cinema
I love Gimli’s taunting in the beginning. His way of telling the orcs “Ya’ll missed one!”
Oh, Boromir! Sean Bean is magnificent, Boromir, Odysseus, and Ned Stark.
Sharpe is his best role
Boromir's like the witty, cool uncle of the group. Love that guy.
3:07 “Dom Dom Dom went the drums”
The mighty pan “I think I’m getting the hang of this”. Never mess with a hobbit. He will flatten your face like a pancake! lol 😂🤣
The trilogy is a masterpiece but the mines of moria arc was what really stuck with me for some reason
It’s hilarious because in the book, they just ran away from this fight and it was somehow more immersive than this whole battle.
Remember these orcs have a wife and kids back home and are just trying to make a living
Oh no
Oh well I guess we will have to genocide them too.
Real
Ahahahaha
Bloody tourists camping out in their home, smoking, making a ruckus, taking souvenirs and moving the furniture around
There’s no definitive origin for the orcs. One origin mentions that they did reproduce among themselves. It’s possible they care for each other/their orc families but due to Sauron/Morgoth’s influence and domination of them they despise non-orcs.
Pippin kinda redeems himself for his earlier fuckup, he stays on the troll's back in the end and baits him to lift his head, exposing his throat for Legolas to hit
I can finally feel gimili lost due to the movies knowing the type of dwarf this scene hits hard
