Now you know where Legolas got his agility from. Surfing in those trees. Lol. And the crazy thing is that Smaug wasn’t even the biggest dragon in Middle Earth. He’s actually quite small compared to his ancestors.
you are very right in your thinking that after the ring was destroyed, Frodo didn't "come back to normal". The burden of being the ringbearer, his journey, the wound from the nazgul knife which never fully healed and never will....that's also the reason why he took the boat to the west and didn't stay in middle earth, to better weather the suffering that will leave him only after his death thx for the reaction, I've enjoyed it
Man, believe me, I have stopped over 15 years ago counting the times I watched LotR. The number was 300. I didn’t stop watching. Every damn time I watch your reactions to the LotR or Hobbit movies, you tell me something I haven’t realized before. This. Is. Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, theories and emotions. Love your excitement to recognizing Legolas and the “wee lad” Gimli as well.
Balin was in the Tomb that Gimli was crying at in the fellowship of the ring at his tomb before pippin started that fight just some back story to tie it all in lol
I love your reactions man. And I generally dislike reaction channels. But your clever quips and your grasp of the story and characters makes for a fun and enjoyable watch, especially paired with LOTR and The Hobbit movies, which are my favorite films. Keep up the great work sir
One thing not mentioned in the special features but shown in them, is when Bilbo looks back and sees an identical him, the double was played by the actor who played Merridoc Brandybuck from LOTR. The practical shots of the river the actors could have died, they were put in specially designed barrels and sent down rapids. The barrels had to be specially made so they wouldn't flip over, the normal ones kept flipping over because the actors' torsos are heavier than their legs. They put a gopro on two of the barrels to get the POV shots down the river.
I don't get why these 3 movies get so much bad press.....for me they are brilliant. I think that because TLOTR Trilogy was so good and so ground breaking whatever came next was never going to live up to it. Great reaction bro, Evangeline Lilly plays Turiel 😍 she also plays Kate in Lost ( don't know if you seen it) 👊🇬🇧
They get bad press because of that made up character, the alteration to Azog's death (outside Moria in that huge battle), and the addition of stuff from The Silmarillion.
6:00 actually, yeah that might be why Frodo and Bilbo went with the elves, because of having worn that ring. Maybe it was something else ring related, but in the movie at least, Frodo talks about how not everything was saved for him. And the Ringwraith wound still ached. (Can’t quite remember how it went in the books.) I assume its because even if it’s in a box or cabinet, it still belonged to Bilbo. Gollum lost the ring when he wasn’t wearing it, so he couldn’t see it at the time and didn’t immediately know what happened to it. So I think its mainly they know where it is and that it’s theirs, even if there’s also a pull to look at and then put on the ring sometimes too. Also to be fair to Tauriel, Legolas’s father basically ordered her to friendzone him lol. I mean it would be fine if she chose to just be his friend as well of course. While the love triangle felt very forced to me, I liked that Legolas decided to put being a decent individual above jealousy and help Tauriel because he cared about her and her cause rather than because he hoped she would pay him back.
I wanna say hello dude! I have so much enjoy because of you and your react videos man you know what I'm sayin. Thank you all things what you shared with us! Greetings from Turkey :)
Tolkien's dragons are terrifying. With most of them, when making eye contact lesser beings would be litteraly petrified and some would go (if temporarily) mad. As if they could telepathically influence people. And they would absolutely reek of a stench so unbearable people would be unable to fight. Hence Bilbo's not appreciating smaugs breath.
Gandalf is essentially a demi-god. sent to middle earth to help guide the people of middle earth. He's really not supposed to use his powers until necessary. His purpose is to guide the people of middle earth. Helping THEM defeat Sauron. Same with the eagles really.
cute lil behind the scenes thing - they mainly didnt show smaug in the first movie because they simply had not finished him haha. Thank warner brothers for that
I'm afraid your basic premise is incorrect. In the books, it is noted that Bilbo did use the ring once he returned home, usually to avoid the Sackville-Baggins family. :P Also anyone else he didn't particularly feel like dealing with at the time, but it was used. Not all the time, like Smeagol would have before he was banished from his family, but also with no ill-will. Add to that the benign nature of the way he come into possession of it, explains why he took so little damage from it, though like Smeagol he was never really free from the desire for it.
Oh, you never noticed the Black Ithilien Ranger (a stuntman, I think) in Faramir's company? He's only on screen for a couple of seconds so he is easy to miss. Yes, Peter Jackson made Lake-town fairly diverse, but it was the major trading center in the North so it makes some sense that some of its residents would be foreigners. The "last light of Durin's Day" was at sundown in the book. Making it moonlight was a change made by Peter Jackson to add (unneeded) suspense.
In TLOTRs, Peter Jackson's problems were how he would make the movie short because its 3 books is too broad. Now in The Hobbit, his problem were how he will make it long because the book'😮s too short.
Last light of During's day, because day ends at midnight or what ever. There is no such thing as During's night. It's day and if it was last light of During's night it would mean just before dawn and wouldn't make sense as it would not be During's day anymore.
I'm glad to hear someone else say that Beorn's bear form doesn't look all that bear-like. I was beginning to think it was just me. But then, the wargs don't look very wolf-like, either, so maybe Weta Digital or whoever just didn't look at enough pictures of real animals? I mean, the spiders seem good, and Smaug is awesome (though he's not supposed to look like any particular real creature), but the CGI mammals are...off. Of course, Weta also did Narnia (or at least I think they did), and the animals in those films look great, so maybe this was a (highly questionable) creative choice rather than an inability to do it right.
If wargs straight up looked like real wolves it would not have felt right imo. Real wolves are quite elegant and majestic so I agree with the more evil looking wargs. It was definitely a purposeful directors choice rather than not knowing how real wolves look like wtf?!
Of all 3 movies this is my favorite, like you said action scenes are on point! I also don't get the bad press yeah some of the story was changed and stretched but it is also a really good trilogy 😁
Play Dragon Age: Origins bro, if you haven't already. You're a good reactor when it comes to storytelling (in films), and I'm curious on how you interact with the story in Dragon Age. The way you navigate the dialogues and decisions you make will have consequences, impacting the story. And you get to rizz the characters too 😂
about your "expecto patronum" kinda nasty reference. Note it is not a human using magic, but a lesser god using divine powers. humans in this world have no access to magic
yea i think this was first scene with black people, me as white guy also noticed it first time watching i laughed and was like yea they had to at this point :D
The Eagles are Eagles, Barry. Not Maia like some people mistakenly think. They're sentient, giant eagles; guardians of fauna like Ents are of flora. Tolkien did consider making the eagles the angelic beings at one point, but later dismissed it. This is why some people get confused. ♥ Also there's a wide variety of colors of skin in Middle Earth and they don't exclusively stay in their region. If anything, Peter Jackson's very specific casting gave a lot of people the wrong idea about what LOTR looks like. Even among the Hobbits there's those of brown skin.
YT stop deleting my comments! there's 100+ black people in LOTR... how did u miss THAT? PS: Smaug is on the smaller size, when u compare him to all the dragons, in the LOTR universe...
There are black people in Tolkien's world, mostly they are living in south regions of the middle earth with Haradrims, as it was in middle-ages there aren't interracial and intercultural cities in this world, but Dale was big trade city, so there are people from all over middle earth
It doesn't help the mistaken modern notion that only white people lived or traveled in medieval Europe. Far from it. Hell even some of King Arthur's Knights were men of color in the legendarium. Vikings traded with Persia and Africa. Merchants covered vast distance. Etc.
bro the more i look at your video and the more I look at my stupid ass video with views and I realize that life just aint fair man, jeesus wtf my videos are GARBAGE
The scene with dragon inside movie theater was insane truly one of the best experience in my life
Then he get up in your face “BARREL RIDER “😂😂😂 I’m dead
Lake Town was a trading hub. And just like all other trading hubs throughout history the population was bound to be multi ethnic
Now you know where Legolas got his agility from. Surfing in those trees. Lol.
And the crazy thing is that Smaug wasn’t even the biggest dragon in Middle Earth. He’s actually quite small compared to his ancestors.
He might as well be Mushu from Mulan compared to Ancalagon the Black. Truly frightening stuff.
you are very right in your thinking that after the ring was destroyed, Frodo didn't "come back to normal". The burden of being the ringbearer, his journey, the wound from the nazgul knife which never fully healed and never will....that's also the reason why he took the boat to the west and didn't stay in middle earth, to better weather the suffering that will leave him only after his death
thx for the reaction, I've enjoyed it
I loved seeing this too. A lot of folks seem sad and confused at Frodo leaving, not realizing it's the only way for him to feel peace and joy again. ♥
Don't forget, the Elf King is Legolas' father...
Benedict Cumberbatch was smaug, look it up, he was awesome
And the necromancer
And he did Motion capture for it too
Man, believe me, I have stopped over 15 years ago counting the times I watched LotR. The number was 300. I didn’t stop watching.

much love 🙏
calling a dragon "sir" is crazy lmaooo, I'd do the same no lie.
Loved your reaction, this is my favourite hobbit film out of the three 😁
Balin was in the Tomb that Gimli was crying at in the fellowship of the ring at his tomb before pippin started that fight just some back story to tie it all in lol
That's part of why frodo left middle earth because of the damage from the Ring.

I wanted you to watch these movies just for the dragon scene 😂
soo same 😊

Very large, hobbit-sized footprints to fill.

I appreciate that🙏
@@LegenbarryReactions A appreciate too bro wish best things to you
Pippen sang the ending song. 👏👏🤗 Benedict Cumberbacht was the dragon.
Ed Sheeran did this song, Billy did the end song for the third movie.
its ed sheeran
Thank you for having this all in one session.
"This dragon just wanted someone to talk to after all these years" 😂😂 now you know why it's called the lonely mountain

Barry you the goat
The keyhole only appeared as soon as the last light of durin's day 'will shine upon the keyhole'. So the company could not have looked harder.
Love your reactions!
The guy who plays Dr Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) in the Marvel movies voices Smaug and the Necromancer....
What's crazy is in the world of middle earth Smaug is like a tiny ass dragon compared to others
cute lil behind the scenes thing - they mainly didnt show smaug in the first movie because they simply had not finished him haha. Thank warner brothers for that
57:24 Out of context, close your eyes and imagine you're outside of his door.😂😂😂

Finally, I have been waiting for this reaction. :D
smaug is red and gold in hobbit book
Next The Hobbit Extended Edition Of The Battle Five Armie Extended Edition
In TLOTRs, Peter Jackson's problems were how he would make the movie short because its 3 books is too broad. Now in The Hobbit, his problem were how he will make it long because the book'😮s too short.
Rizzgod Legenbarry
FoR tHe AlGoRiThM
I fell in love with tauriel too ❤
You were so confident in your ‘black-dar’ 43:05 until 44:00 😂😂😂
Dale is Tucker's buddy.
Smaug voice actor was Benedict Cumberbatch
Great reaction!😂😂
pure gold is quite dull, it's not super shiny - they did it right
In the Lord of the Rings, the town of Harad is a representation of African warriors, but with oliphants
I like your reactions. Not too many scenes cut from your videos and good lengths
Last light of During's day, because day ends at midnight or what ever. There is no such thing as During's night. It's day and if it was last light of During's night it would mean just before dawn and wouldn't make sense as it would not be During's day anymore.

It will be very cool if you watch the video where Benedict Cumberbatch plays Smaug in a motion capture suit. I'm impressed
Of all 3 movies this is my favorite, like you said action scenes are on point! I also don't get the bad press yeah some of the story was changed and stretched but it is also a really good trilogy 😁

And you get to rizz the characters too 😂
Yes to this 👌 yes yes yes.
The king is Legolas Father, you prolly know that now, but I'm just sayin.
When the next lgs episode gonna come out ?
Yeah. Back to the hobbit bby 👍👍
about your "expecto patronum" kinda nasty reference. Note it is not a human using magic, but a lesser god using divine powers.
humans in this world have no access to magic
How does this guy not know who Dale is?
it does not say what kind of light it is on the map if it was sun or the moon on the map
yea i think this was first scene with black people, me as white guy also noticed it first time watching i laughed and was like yea they had to at this point :D
🤣🤣❤❤❤❤
Love your reactions! Pleeaseee watch rings of power too!
Yes, definitely!
