The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (PART 1): th-cam.com/video/WcHQzxlG7AY/w-d-xo.html
this trilogy of movies is probably one of the best trilogy of movies ever made. we may never see a production with so much soul and dedication ever again
Take the word “trilogy” out.
The 3 movies are a trilogy
Loved your reaction! And I’m going to urge you to watch the Extended Edition for the next 2 films; there’s a *certain scene* you MUST see 💯🎬🍿
I will :)
@@BillyKearneyReacts The fact that you are listening to the fanatics that told you to do so, IS the reason you won't be getting THIS subscriber, and why your channel won't be growing as much as you had hoped. NEVER listen to gung ho fans, because, they've already seen the movies and want more, but even Peter Jackson, the director prefers the TRs (Theatrical Releases), stating that the EEs are full of deleted scenes and fluff pieces ... i.e. that also give spoilers that ruin some reveals way ahead of time, going into unnecessary tangents and redirecting your focus on superfluous, unimportant fodder.
@@StevesFunhouse True, but still there are at least 1 scene in each one that you MUST see
@@enricodellacasa7624 I respect your opinion but beg to differ ... obviously.
I own and have seen both versions many times, and in "MY" opinion, which means absolutely nothing to anyone except me, is that I agree with Peter Jackson. They are too long, give away way too much way too soon, and go off on tangents that distract you from the focus of the story and films ... Frodo and Sam taking the ring to be destroyed.
Everything else is another story better suited to additional viewings or later discovery by serious fans ... not first time or casual observers.
At 29:14 you ask, "Where are the nineteen other Rings?" In the book, Tolkien explains that the Rings were closely held, and only their bearers knew where they were. The Nine Rings of Men we've already seen in action; they are borne by the Nazgul or Ringwraiths. The Seven Rings of the Dwarves play almost no role in the story and none at all in the movie. Gandalf tells Frodo, "Seven the Dwarf-kings possessed, but three he has recovered, and the others the dragons have consumed." If you watch the Extended Version of the movie, you'll see one of the Three Rings of the Elves shortly; another appears in passing near the end of ROTK.
Billy immediately: “Put that shit on”
Isildur would be proud lol
Enjoyed watching the movie with you! When Frodo puts on the Ring and escapes from Boromir, the action gets a little hard to follow. Frodo climbs to the top of a hill named Amon Hen, the Hill of the Eye, where the Men of Numenor had built a great stone seat, represented in the movie by a throne made of four black Eagles. A person sitting in the seat sometimes would receive visions of faraway places. Frodo sees all of the West of Middle-earth swarming with Sauron's creatures, from the Misty Mountains to the Ethir Anduin, the delta of the Great River in the South. His vision is then drawn to Sauron's fortress of Barad-dur, and he becomes aware of the great Eye searching for him. In the book, Sauron's gaze is resisted by a Power from a different source, and Frodo in the last instant takes off the Ring an escapes Sauron's Eye. The Breaking of the Fellowship is actually done better in the movie than in the book, in my opinion. In the book, poor Aragorn is always in the wrong place at the wrong time. In frustration, he climbs Amon Hen and sits in the seat, but he sees nothing useful. Just to indicate the depth of Tolkien's vision, the book refers to another hill on the other side of the Great River named Amon Lhaw, the Hill of the Ear. Presumably there would be another seat that would produce sounds from far away. Tolkien doesn't say, but it's there...
Why do you have chills? I think it’s because there’s at least one thing we can all relate to in this story. It will hit you in places you didn’t think it could.
Enjoy your journey to Middle Earth. May the Blessings of Elves, Men, and Free Folk go with you!
Cheers :)
Boromir was not a bad man, he was the one with the deepest desire. To protect his people. The ring took his strong desire and it basically influenced him even more than the others he also lived right across for Mordor. So Gandalf, Sauron, Saruman, and even the balrog are basically like angels. When Gandalf died for the hobbits it was like losing a grandfather but for Legolas and Aragorn who knew what Gandalf was it was like a Christian watching Jesus die. That’s why they both looked shocked and so confused.
Lol, it has come to be one of my favourite sections/moments checking out these channels where a first time watcher starts off by saying something like "this is going to be a chore/this is too long" and ends with "WAIT WHAT?!?! THAT'S IT? I WANT MORE!" 😂😂😂
You have my bow, my "LIKE", and my comment... looking forward to this journey with you.
- written by someone who thought they were one of the last people on earth to go in kicking and screaming to watch something they absolutely don't care about, twenty-plus viewings later ;)
It never doesn’t happen either lol
@@morothane Double negatives. One of two of my kryptonite's, lol.
@@chefskiss6179 the other kryptonite must be a double positive then… like “much more happier”
@@morothane Pretty close actually, lol... it's Kate Winslet 😂
@@chefskiss6179 *chefs kiss
at last, we’ve come to understand one another, Mr. Baggins.
You were so quiet. I could tell you were hooked
hahaha I was!
To add to what a couple of people have already mentioned:
Just as Gandalf said, there are many magic rings in the world, not just the Rings of Power. Which is the reason why he didn't figure it out earlier that Bilbo had the One Ring.
He assumed that it was one of the lesser rings, not the One Ring. He knew where the other Rings of Power were, and would have never dreamed that it was the One Ring, so he never thought of it.
It is unclear though how many lesser rings are in existence.
Bro, I want to be as high as you next time I watch these films. Either that or you are the most chill human being I have ever seen
A mix of both 😎
Damn that was super enjoyable. Don't really want to ruin anything for you but might make it easier to know smeagol and gollum are the same person (split personality).
Great reaction and welcome to the #1 Trilogy ever adaptation... looking forward to the next 2 reactions
This trilogy, and these books, are the greatest thing mankind has ever achieved. It's all downhill from here.
The books are amazing on a level of world building I've not seen since. The Trilogy is one of the finest moments of film hands down
So excited yet sad to complete the journey!
the movies are 60000 times better XD
It´s so funny becuse bilbo tells frodo the shirt once belonged to an elven prince in this time line the only one it could be would be Legolas wich means legolas hand me downs saved frodos life🤣@@BillyKearneyReacts
Ehhh. The books are fantastic in terms of world-building and linguistics. Somewhat lacking in other aspects.
This is one of my favorite trilogies. I watch it at least once a year. I'm excited to see your reactions and hear your thoughts.
Hello, good reaction, some information from the first scene, the war of the last alliance lasted 7 years and those who faced Sauron were actually King Gil - Galad, who carried a powerful spear called Aeglos. You can see him in one scene, the other. King is Elendil, the tall one who carried the narcil sword. Together they defeated Sauron and in turn Isildur died. His son only extracted the ring from Sauron's corpse.
The Lord of the Rings isn't three movies. It's one giant movie split into three parts.
So glad you are reacting to these! Your comments and reactions are great. I think you really captured what is so incredible about the movies and, even more, the books upon which the films are based - it's a world we want to be in; it's a world we want to keep going back to, again and again, whether that means rewatching the movies and/or rereading the books. There is evil, but there is also virtue; there is courage as well as betrayal; beauty and honor- but the characters are complex and not one-dimensional. Enjoy!
Thank you!!!😊
I like you taking notes and thinking hard about it.
🤓
Great reaction video, great editing! Thank you.
Wow an edit comment. Thank you! that means a lot! (As I love to edit)
Yeah, your edit made me feel similar to an actual watch's feels.
One of my many favorite things about lotr is how the stereotype of the stoic hyper masculin hero/adventurer is reversed. They do all that but also the men cry openly, feel, recite poetry and show their emotions and care deeply for each other
46:53
That’s something I think everybody thought, going into this one. We had trilogies, before this, but that was Back to the Future and Star Wars. Those didn’t know there would really be three of them when they made that first one lol
But these, they got to be made together, and the release dates got to be closer together - so when the first movie ended without completion of the stated goal … yeah, it was nuts lol
Enjoyed the reaction. Glad you liked it. I’m sure I’m one of many who would love to be able to answer your questions as the movie plays lol 😆😅💙
can't wait to see your reaction to the 3rd movie!!!
Great reaction! You should really watch the extended editions for the next two films. They provide more context, character development, and world building and are overall superior to the theatrical editions.
I am:)
Okay wild I thought I was the only one who thought of that 'give us the rings' line from Charlie's Angels 😆💀
Love your reaction! 🤍
The FACT that you caught that…. YOU ARE MY PERSON!!!!! You are deff the only one that did
@@BillyKearneyReactsReal ones get it! Haha I don’t know a more iconic movie than Full Throttle!! 🥰😌
The nazgul have the 9 human rings. Galariel, Gandalf and Elrond have the 3 elven rings. Sauron recovered some of the Dwarven rings, others are lost forever and various dwarf lords have some I think.
The next two movies are even better (extended editions) you’re lucky you don’t have to wait a whole year to see the next ones!
If you have questions,ask, I’m sure there’s a few “Ringers” watching lol
I enjoy these movies
...and the answer to all of your questions is:
read all the books
29:12 The 9 rings are held by the mortal men now turned ring wraiths. The 7 rings held by the dwarves; 4 were consumed by dragons, 3 recovered by Sauron. The 3 rings of the elves are held by Galadriel, Elrond, and Gandalf.
If you haven't already watched the other 2 films the Extended Editions are great. They add some small, extra scenes which really enhance the movies, some of the characters backstory, and the overall story. They aren't overly longer either, so it's well worth to watch them. Plus, if you thought it was over so quickly, they simply add more of the movie which is never a bad thing for LOTR. Excited to see your reaction to the other movies! Subscribed!
extended editions are so much worse than theatrical, so much useless cringe shit in them
@@eviola11 You're allowed to be wrong :D
@@LethalOwl Yeah totally dude, that scene where Treebeard is singing to the hobbits and putting them to bed is really integral and totally not cringe come on man lol
@@eviola11 Agreed dude, the extended versions are nothing but cringe and corny. Made for silly people.
@@eviola11 What are you, 15? The treebeard scene is like 30 seconds and while not necessary for the movie, the Boromir-related scene and others are very much needed and should've been part of the final cut. The Boromir-part alone justifies every extra addition in the Extended Cut. Same goes for things we're not going to spoil for the last movie.
I never thought you could open your mouth so wild!? You were really surprised! And so did I... lol
Thank you for this great reaction. You were truly engaged by the film.
It's a powerful story that triggers a range of emotions, and Peter Jackson has done an amazing job of retelling the story.
One interesting side note is that George RR Martin was inspired by the Fellowship when writing Game of Thrones. He said that the destruction of Gandalf the Grey, and the death of Boromir made him realise that it was OK to kill off main characters, which was something that story tellers were reluctant to do in the 20th century.
I'm looking forward to seeing your reactions to the next two instalments of the story.
Keep up the good work!
29:47 This is weird, I could swear he used to say "Orcs" not "Goblins"
32:23 nevermind xD
I really envy you for watching the movies without knowing anything, imagine experiencing this in the cinema, the best trilogy in history.
Glad we can live through this together!!
Aragorn's ring is called the ring of Barahir and has an arguably more interesting history than the one ring, but most of that is in the silmarillion which is...obtuse, to say the least 😬
Im confused right now. I see this video, and I see a Two towers reaction posted on Billy Kearney channel from 6 days ago...
Me also. Maybe it should have been 3 days ago?
You imagine that you imagine what's to come.
❤❤❤❤
the third movie is the best movie ever made by far
Welcome to the world of Tolkien! I highly recommend you watch the extended editions of the remaining movies (The Two Towers and The Return of the King). Welcome! Welcome!
In answer to where all the rings are, the 3 elven rings are distributed amongst galadriel, gandalf and elrond, all dwarven rings were lost their whereabouts is unknown at the time lord of the rings is set, the 9 rings of men are wielded by the nazgul, they were corrupted by their rings and now serve sauron
5:22 that side-eye made me choke on my straw 🥤💀
👀
Wait ,what? Is this a reupload? I remember you reacting to... this?
I love how you knew absolutely nothing about the lore of this
Love that you loved it 🧝
You’ve got to be freaking kidding me!!
You cut out most of the most important and best parts at the end of this film! No Boromir’s death? No Aragorn battling and killing Lurtz? No bridge run or fall of Gandalf?
😕😕😕😕
Glad there’s 100 more reactors. Plus i offer my uncut patreon. And I do have Gandolf falling
If you've watched Harry Potter, you can say the ring is like a horcrux. The difference is that the ring has to be found; horcruxes have to be hidden.
You want to see a perfect idiot? Watch this video, the guy is taking notes, doesn't listen to the story, and then doesn"t understand why Sauron is keeping the ring on...
Get a life
They built 2 different hobbit hones. One to make Gandalf look too tall for it and one to make it look normal for a hobbit's size.
There are more than 20 magic rings. The rest just have nothing to do with Sauron. Tolkien just didn't go into detail about those rings.
Omg!! So cool.
This isn't 'Harry Potter' - quit focusing on objects and focus on the story. The story isn't about the one ring or all the rings, or the Silmarils, or the Valar, or the Noldor, or the Two Trees, it is about heroes and sacrifice and growth, of good versus evil. Of mankind working together.
Don’t tell me how to run my channel. Thanks
I tried replying to this once, but it didn't go through. I wasn't telling you how to run your channel. I was trying to tell you that if you keep focusing on the wrong things, you will miss the story. For instance, if I focused on the fact that Harry Potter was supposed to be a God Wizard, I would have missed the great story of he and his friends. The Elfstones of Shannarra was so much more than a story about Elfstones, and so much about love and finding something more than yourself.@@BillyKearneyReacts
how would I know that I'm focusing on the wrong thing? this is my first reaction to the movie.. hopefully you like the reacts better moving forward @@bdoeden64
I didn't dislike it! :) I hope you and your channel find great success!@@BillyKearneyReacts
thank you! :) posting two towers part 1 tomorrow ! @@bdoeden64
YOU RUINED IT! You don't watch the Lord of the rings out of ORDER! The Hobbit Series is the beginning of the story, the Lord of the Rings series is the end of the story, you jumped into this complex story at the END! This would be confusing and you don't have the back history to see why this is important. If you watch the Hobby Series first, and get the back story, the story then changes to the Lord of the rings which is SHOCKING when you find out what the end story is! You only get this shock ONCE and you ruined it by watching this complex series out of chronological order. Each film builds on the next and keeps getting better and adds value to the next film with it's back history. Watching the end, and the watching the beginning later is anti climatic and ruins the experience!
