Thank you for recognizing Boromir’s innate goodness. Some people just dismiss him as weak for being so easily corrupted. But he wasn’t easily corrupted. The ring is pure, unfettered EVIL. It corrupts even the kindest and most noble of hearts. That is why even Gandalf himself dared not to even touch it. I hope you watch the extended edition of “The Two Towers”. There’s an additional five minute scene which will provide you with a greater understanding of Boromir’s character and the pressure he was under from his father. Great reaction, guys! I was very entertained! 👍🏻

I really want to thank React 2.0 and Common Man Show for creating this channel and watching these movies (and others). LOTR movies are so dear to a lot of Westerners (and others!), as we grew up with the books, watching the cartoons, played Dungeons & Dragons which took so much inspiration from Tolkien, etc. These kind people are taking time out of their lives and sharing their reactions with us, and it really means a lot to me. 🙂🙂

56:30 I cry for Boromir every time too, and I've seen this movie countless times 🥲

So glad Ruby finally watched LOTR and enjoyed it! Love this wise, kind and beautiful lady ❤

It would be nice with an episode where they all talk about what movies they have liked the most so far, and what type of movies they prefer. What actors they like and so on. Would be interesting to see how they feel now after a year of western movies.

11:30 "It looks like the devil's palace to me!" Astute observation of Morder, if ever I heard one. The tribute to Jackson's labor of love continues! 16:40 "It's not intelligence, it's called supporting evil." Nailed it. That put a huge smile on my face. She gets it! 23:11 The joy that people have when they realize Gandalf is still alive, even after only knowing his character for a very short time on screen, is so heartwarming... 26:57 "The queen has arrived!" ...Man, it's literally in the first half of the first film, but boy did she ever get that one correct. I teared up! Yes indeed, the queen has arrived. 31:37 YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! Immediately understood what the cut to Aragorn meant. So many people miss that. I'm cheering 47:24 ...Yeah, everybody around the whole world made that face, absolutely. Can't wait to see Ruby's reaction to the rest of the series!

"It'll is not intelligence, it is supporting evil." "His master is a traitor."

Poor Aman seemed so sick with his sniffy nose and tired eyes. But he fought valiantly through, with the movie boosting his strength until he was so fired up by the end that he serenaded us. If we don’t have Babu for a cultural exchange at the end, I’m glad Aman is there to sing us a song. I hope he gets better soon and has lovely dreams of Galadriel. I’m very happy Aman and Ruby get to see LOTR too. They were so awed and touched by all the things that awe and touch us.

Also very happy you're showing the director's cut, it's much longer but also sooo much better

So thrilled to see more of the crew getting a chance to watch and react to these movies. The Lord of the Rings trilogy are spectacular so sharing the experience further is wonderful.

i love seeing people reacting to Lord of The Ring And Ruby is very clever and intuitionnal about it Aman is also very interrested in the story but the thing i respect the most is that they understand Boromir He never wanted to betray the Fellowship but the Ring take his mind and he Indeed take redemption for his bad action over Frodo by saving Merry and Pippin with the price of his Life He was a great Soldier and a Great Man, he died with Honnor

I really wish this channel grows a lot to make our dear villagers be able to go to New Zealand! Looking forward to seeing reactions on the rest of the Trilogy (and the Hobbit, too!)

Peter Jackson did am amazing job bringing the books to life. Imagine this movie put into words. Amazing.

I loved this reaction so much! I'm sure Ruby and Aman are very busy with their own lives but I'm very looking forward to seeing them react to the rest of the trilogy when they have time.

Great to see Ruby and Aman enjoying this. We need to do the other two films, please! Too much time is passing.

Every culture in the world has a story like this. It bounds us all together..

I love how Boromir's scene manages to make everynody tear up across cultures

For some reason, this was the first time that I teared up seeing Bilbo have the strength to leave the ring behind...

All credit must go to JRR Tolkien who the books that inspired this film. He was an Oxford professor. I encourage you to read the books as well.

The look on Ruby's face at the end when he 'sings' was priceless...

I have no objection whatsoever to this rerun. Everyone in the world should see this trilogy.

"Hit them on the head with slipper!" Surely the ultimate weapon of mass destruction in any world. :D :P And I had no idea until seeing this that the phrase "abra kadabra" was not universal. :D No reason it should be, it just surprised me to find otherwise. :P This is not meant in a negative way, but I just wish one person watching the scenes in the snow would notice that Legolas was able to walk on top of the snow drift everyone else has to wade through. It is a small detail that is easily overlooked, but it does speak volumes to the different strengths of each race and the attention to detail the producers put into making the movie.

Glad these guys get to see it too. The background and outfits are looking really good too, matches the background and feels magical, like they will cast spells.

For anyone familiar with Vedic astrology, I reckon Ruby has Revati nakshatra, which is in Pisces rashi. No wonder she has a natural understanding for the spiritual themes of this story, especially about attachment and illusion.

22:34 "go after him you have no other choice". The look she gives Aman when Frodo utters her thoughts. 😂

seeing that woman, is like seeing myself when iwas in the cinema 20years ago, on ths movie. she is feeling this movie and im sure she will never forget it, as i did.

I laughed when Ruby said if she was there she would've killed all the bad guys. I have no doubt. She'd be the Elf Queen. 😂 Also, fun fact the name "Aman" in that world is the home of the Valar, the most powerful servants of the god Ilúvatar, and who helped him create the world of Middle Earth. EDIT: Are they gonna watch the other two movies?

Loved your genuine and honest reaction. God bless you both

I love how perceptive Ruby is! She understood what was going on in this movie better than *any* of the other reactors I’ve seen, even more than the English speaking Western ones. Happy to see Aman and his account of his childhood memories here too!^^

I realise it's a large-budget thing so probably not going to happen, but it would be SO COOL if you could fly these lovely people to NZ to see Hobbiton and the other locations. I know they would love it! :)

You know, breaking into a song after witnessing the movie events is so Tolkien.

I love how Aman mentions that the movie is getting serious right after Bilbo passes the Red Book to Frodo. In-universe, the LOTR series is that Red Book, and Bilbo writes the part up to that scene in his more lighthearted adventurous style. But the remainder is supposed to be written by Frodo after he returns to Hobbiton at the very end. At that point he's experienced some pretty intense stuff (stabbed by morghul blade, venomized and almost eaten by demon-spider, abandoned his closest friend, ultimately succumbed to the temptation of the ring) and so with all of that mental trauma his writing tone is MUCH more serious. That's why he leaves at the end of ROTK, because he's so changed that he doesn't fit into the home he returned to.
