I think a lot of people forget that most of the magic he does actually perform isn’t even his own power (other that fighting the other Maiar) but rather a function of his rarely mentioned Ring of Power. Gandalf has one of the elf-rings, the one of fire I believe so that explains the fires, lights, and smoke (and in my head, it explains his skill at fireworks!). If I remember right, it was given to him by Cirdan the elven shipbuilder when Gandalf first arrived in Middle-Earth. He’s free to use that power as he sees fit.

The thing is, the magic Maiar have is quite insane. If Gandalf used his magic to battle foes, he could escalate things fast, and destroy more than he wanted. The pirme example of this is the major reason for him not going 1 vs 1 vs Smaug in The Hobbit; apart from being quite the pacifist (and a bit coward, as he didn't want to fight Sauron when asked by the gods and was scared as shit when told), and prefering to let a Middle Earth faction win so things stay balanced, Gandalf would have needed to use all his powers to defeat Smaug, which could very much lead to the destruction of Dale and all the surroundings. They are elemental powers, after all.

Boromir's (ned's) story arc is spectacular. He genuinely just wants whats best for his people because Gondor geographically is adjacent to Mordor. So the armies of Gondor and Mordor are almost constantly fighting. Thats why during the council of elrond he says "by the blood of our people are your lands kept safe!". He really doesnt have a selfish bone in his body and feels genuine regret for attacking frodo. The ring is extremely influencial on him because he thinks he'll have a great use for it in the wars to come against Mordor. Great reaction!

Galadriel is one of the oldest and most powerful elves left in Middle-Earth. She was fighting evil long before Gandalf and the other wizards came. She's over 7000 years old and is Elrond's mother-in-law.

A no spoiler mini-explanation (very simplified) to help fully appreciate The Lord of the Rings. The author is JRR Tolkien, who was an Oxford professor, a linguist/philologist and historian. He literally spent his entire life creating the world of Middle-earth, the novel published in 1954. His purpose was to write a mythology history for England, including a creation story inspired by his devout Catholic faith. The languages heard in the movie were created, completely, by Tolkien. Several dialects of Elvish, the dwarf language, and the Black Speech of Mordor. In Tolkien’s world, Eru Ilúvatar is the Creator. Aiding in fulfilling his purpose are the Valar (think archangels) and Maia (angels). Some (not all) of the Valar and Maia have significant roles through the ages. Also, a few Valar and Maia are evil. The events in LOTR take place in the Third Age, with the forging of the great rings and battle seen in the prologue occurring in the Second Age. In other words, there is a ton of history over thousands of years leading up to this particular story. Sauron, the Dark Lord, is a Maia. Gandalf and Saruman are also Maia, and they (along with three others) were sent by Eru Ilúvatar to Middle-earth to aid in the fight against Sauron. They are called the Istari, or Wizards. Their magical powers are limited but they are still very powerful. The “old man” appearance was to appeal as wise men but does not directly translate to being aged as they are literally ageless beings. They were sent to guide, instruct, and impart wisdom, not to be warriors or solve problems, hence the rare use of "magic". Incidentally, the Balrog is also a Maia (one of the evil ones), which is why Gandalf had to confront it. Elves are immortal. They can be killed in battle, but their souls return to Valinor (the Undying Lands), the dwelling place of the Valar, and are given a new body. Valinor is separated from Middle-earth, reachable only by ships built by the elves at the Grey Havens. You will often see some calling it "heaven" as a simplistic way to describe it, but this is wrong. Valinor is called the Undying Lands because immortal flesh-and-blood elves dwell there in harmony with the Valar, who are spirit beings with a bodily form. Valinor is not an after-death spirit realm like heaven. Aside from a handful of notable exceptions, elves are the only race to ever set foot on Valinor. There have been only two other elf and human unions, so Arwen and Aragorn are very unique. In all cases, the elf maiden had to choose mortality to be with the human man she loved. This is a BIG deal, just keep that in mind. Lord Elrond of Rivendell is the child of one such union. He was also faced with a choice, deciding to be an elf. His twin brother, Elros, chose to be human, becoming the first King of Númenor. Directly from his line came Elendil and Isildur, and then much later Aragorn. Side note: The vial of starlight that Galadriel gave to Frodo is captured light from the star of Earendil (very long story told in The Silmarillion) who was a half-elf and the father of Elrond and Elros. Galadriel is by far the most powerful elf in Middle-earth, and she is wholly good and wise. She was born in Valinor in a time before the sun and moon were created, so is easily 9000 years old, probably much more. She is the keeper of Nenya, one of the three elven rings. It doesn’t come into the movies, but the other two rings are kept by Elrond and Gandalf, who was given his by Cirdan, Lord of the Grey Havens. The daughter of Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn married Elrond, so Arwen is her granddaughter. Legolas is an Elven prince, the son of an Elven king from another realm which does not play into this story but does in The Hobbit. He has known Gandalf and Aragorn for a very long time. Elves and Dwarves have thousands of years of bad blood between the races, hence Gimli and Legolas not liking each other in the beginning. I’ll end with the Hobbits. They live normally as long as humans, so Bilbo (who comes from a line of long-lived Hobbits) is old by Hobbit standards but not beyond possibility. What makes him different is that he has barely aged. Bilbo is Frodo's uncle, taken in and named Bilbo's heir when Frodo's parents died. Samwise Gamgee is Frodo and Bilbo’s gardener, so technically he works for the wealthy, upperclass Bagginses, hence the occasional “Mr. Frodo.” There is a slight class structure, as was common in England during Tolkien’s life. Merry (Meriadoc Brandybuck) and Pippin (Peregrin Took) are distantly related to Frodo, and are much younger. Pippin is the youngest at 26, so technically in his “tweens” which is why he tends to be the most foolish. Give him time! Facts to keep in mind: 1) The Ring has a will of its own and wants to return to the hand of Sauron, who is the only one who can truly control the power. 2) Middle-earth is big! The quest lasts just over a year, a vast amount of ground is covered, and the now-splintered fellowship meet a lot of new “people” along the way. Great reaction! You two will LOVE this wonderful ride. The next two movies get better and better. As others will surely note in the comments, I strongly recommend the extended versions. And speaking as a Tolkien fan for close to 50 years, what Peter Jackson et al did with these 3 movies is a true masterpiece in every conceivable way. While there was much left out due to time (believe it or not), and obviously changes in pacing, story elements, and so on must be made when adapting to cinema, the movie barely strays from the novel by Tolkien.

You guys were on point, especially as you were the only reactors I’ve seen to notice that the fellowship were being shot at after Gandalf fell. I’m glad you enjoyed it and I’m looking forward to what you’ll think of what’s to come. To address one thing in regard to Gandalf and his use of magic: magic in this world is very passive. It’s not like casting spells in the Harry Potter stories, it’s a contest of wills and means. The only reason Gandalf and Saruman can do as much as they do in the movies is because they aren’t human. For the sake of brevity as the mythos is pretty extensive off hand, they’re essentially angels intended to reunite the world. They (Gandalf in this case) can’t do that by destroying whoever or whatever they wanted with power. Rather he lives as men live and only uses what power he’s allowed to defend against the forces of evil, as in the Balrog. I’m trying to be brief only to say this, I greatly enjoyed the review either way.

Gandalf prefers more subtle forms of magic, and rarely unleashes his full power. He always believed it was the task of mortals to do great deeds, and the role of the Wizards was to guide them and aid only against the direst of dark magics. Saruman didn't hold the same view, though for most of his life on Middle Earth he abided by non-interference that slowly ate away at him. Saruman, I think, never thought of himself as being a part of the world and being above it - whereas Gandalf longed to be a part of the smallest thing and to enjoy the mortal life as best he could. Arguably Gandalf was the stronger magic user too, he was just more restrained. The battle against Saruman caught him off guard, and he never imagined his friend would wish him harm.

Besides the ring influencing him, another reason that Frodo is tempted to put on the ring is when he's afraid and in danger the ring would turn him invisible, though he learns that it doesn't really hide him.

Not from the Nazgul. In fact, it makes him easier to find since the Ringwraiths can't see the physical world too well (their horses and fell beasts aren't just steeds, but service animals as well).

About Gandalf not using his magic so much - his job as a wizard is to help the people of Middle Earth, and use wisdom to do it. He's not meant to wield power so recklessly like Saruman ends up doing because the wizards aren't meant just to be powerful, they're meant to help and teach and guide Middle Earth. Saruman obviously lost that, seeking power and leaning into it, while Gandalf is more reserved in it. There's this idea of power in Lord of the Rings, and how it can be a corrupting force which is what makes the allure and power of the One Ring so deadly, and why Hobbits like Frodo and Bilbo can carry it for so long without being affected as much because Hobbits are simple creatures who really just want to enjoy good food, a warm hearth, and the comforts of home rather than gather any sort of power or gold or nonsense like that.

Also, in the books they indicate that Gandalf using his magic would alert Saruman similar to how when Frodo uses the ring it alerts the Nazgul. There's a point where Gandalf basically uses a little tiny spell to light a fire because they are about to freeze on the mountain top, and he basically says "well if any of Saruman's henchmen are nearby they will be here soon". He only uses his magic in a spectacular fashion against the Balrog because at that point there is no alternative.

Like, try to think/talk your way thru rather than immediately jumping into action you can't take back.

Oh, I love how the beginning of this video starts with the two of you not particularly interested, but willing to watch this film. And by the time the hobbits get to the village of Bree, you are completely invested in the story. It’s absolutely beautiful.

Enjoyed your reactions! When Gandalf tells the Company, "It's a four-day journey to the other side," in the book he adds, "It cannot be less than forty miles from West-door to East-gate in a direct line, and the road may wind much." Gandalf had once journeyed through Moria years ago, but he came in the other direction, east to west. It is not to be wondered at that he would come to a place where he had no memory from his previous trip. Luckily his nose was correct! Aragorn briefly mentions that he had also been in Moria, but the memory was evil, and he didn't elaborate. Balin's folk had attempted to recolonize Moria about thirty years previously, but they had all been killed about 25 years prior to the story.

Wow, incredible video. Believe us when we tell you. it only gets better from here. Quick side note about gandalf not using powers. Gandalf is like a mini god from a distant land. Him and 4 other wizards were basically nerfed to the teeth and sent over to M.E. not only to help but to inspire the people. If he had used his powers, basically everyone would feel hopeless because they think in order to have a chance, you would need to be a wizard to be able to fight back. But hecause he fights alongside everybody with a sword he gives everybody hope that this war is winnable. LOTR Fans are packed with LOTR knowledge. We got you.

I like how at 22:15 you said “they got heart”. Tolkien wrote hobbits and the shire as an idealized version of the English countryside before the Industrial Revolution took it all over. Really the whole story boils down to the small in stature hobbits saving the world due to their innate loyalty and good hearts. Awesome reaction

I love watching the younger generations enjoying great older movies, it almost feels like I get to see them again for the first time through their eyes. You asked the relationship between Bilbo and Frodo, Bilbo is Frodos uncle and adopted Frodo after his parents both drown in a boat accident.

Wooot! The greatest trilogy of all time! Can’t wait.

I won't go into the differences at this point, because they haven't seen the trilogy yet and the EEs give spoilers to things way before they are supposed to. I own both copies and have watch them many, MANY times and have seen tons of reactions to them (both version), and the added parts add no meaningful information ABOUT THIS QUEST, but instead, only increase editing time and slow down the pace of the quest story itself.

Is there a bit of unnecesssary "fluff" in the EEs? Sure, a bit. But most of it is critical to understanding the world and the characters' motivations. Not to mention all the questions left unanswered and the lore left unexplored in the theatrical cuts. Every bit of context is critical or Tolkien wouldn't have wrote it in the first place. And your argument about the "pace of the quest" makes no sense at all, because the journey of the fellowship is supposed to take a loooooong time.

They're "nice-to-haves" but they are not important in the scheme of things, and they CERTAINLY NOT "critical". My argument about the "pace of the quest' is immensely important !!!

It would be a great story in Greece, Rome, Persia, etc. If the whole of Middle Earth were so crucial/important to the story, then wouldn't things like this also be important to know: 1. Where do wizards, elves, goblins, dwarves come from and how'd they get to Middle Earth ??? 2. Are there more than the 2 wizards we know of? If so: a. How many are there? b.

How did Bilbo come by the ring and why did he go on his adventure before this one? 5. We know that elves do not die, they go to their form of "heaven" but, what happens to all the other species and races ??? The answers ... None of those things are important to this story.

I also stated that I agreed with him AND his reasons for preferring the TRs over the EEs, also mentioning that he created the EEs by adding back in deleted scenes and "fluff" pieces, to appease people like you. However, there are tons of reasons to ONLY watch the EEs, AFTER you've seen the originals (TRs), including the fact that most audiences, who've NOT seen the EEs would be confused by the extra scenes, and of course, because of the spoilers in them that kill the surprise reveals later on. So, it is YOU, my friend, who is trying to convince us that WE need to watch the longer ones, because of YOUR inability to understand the movies without having your hand held or being given extensive explanations and detailed dissertations on them. The rest of us "GOT IT" without all that fluff, and no one said you couldn't go back and watch the EEs later on subsequent viewings. So why are YOU having so much trouble with the fact that not everyone needs/wants to see an extra hour in each film to understand it ???

"Noro lim" actually means "Carry him". In the book, Frodo was sitting (alone) on the horse and not riding away, because the Nazguls were putting a spell on him not to. Then the elf (who was male) got the bright idea of just telling the horse to run.

I wish I could forget these movies completely just to watch them for the first time again. The best thing about this trilogy to me is that it gets bigger and better for every movie, until you reach the full epicness in return of the king.

So excited for this. Tolkien's works inspired and is the foundation of modern fantasy in general, from Harry Potter to Dungeons and Dragons. Tolkien didn't just craft a story. He crafted a world that has multiple stories in it. He even created languages. The Elven language is a language you can actually learn and speak. The world has history, starting from the creation of it. The mass migration of different peoples, the rise and falls of kingdoms and continents. The deeds of villains and heroes. You can actually track who went where and during what year. Gandalf was adventuring around Middle Earth long before the story of The Lord of the Rings, long before the story of The Hobbit. The song that Frodo asked Aragorn about, was about a mortal man and an elven woman falling in love, Beren and Luthien, two characters that existed in the world in ages past, that both have their own story and own dark lord to deal with. Even Galadriel has a lengthy backstory spanning back thousands of years, and the three golden hairs she gives Gimli has great significance, both because of Galadriel's backstory and the relationship between elves and dwarves in general. In ages past, before the sun and moon were made, the world was lit by the two trees of Valinor, one silver, one gold. Galadriel's hair was said to have captured the light of the trees. Feanor, her uncle, and the greatest elven smith of all time was enamored with her hair. He begged Galadriel multiple times for some of her hair, but she denied him every time, because she sensed great pride in him. Feanor then used some unknown process to capture the light of the trees into three brilliant gems, known as the Silmarils. These gems would cause great strife among the elves, and even more to Middle Earth once it fell out of elven hands. One example is the destruction of the relationship between elves and dwarves. You hear Gimli say "Never trust an elf!" There's a reason for that. A Silmaril had found its way into the hands of Thingol, an elven king in Middle Earth. Thingol wanted to combine the greatest work of the elves, with the greatest work of the dwarves, the Nauglamir, a necklace of gems. The dwarves were to set the Silmaril into the necklace. After the dwarves had finished, they presented it to king Thingol. But Thingol noticed that the dwarves desired the finished product greatly, so he attempted to chase them from the kingdom without the necklace and without pay for their work. The dwarves sacked the kingdom in retaliation, killing Thingol in the process. This is why Galadriel giving Gimli three strands of her hair is so significant. She wouldn't even give on to her own kin, but she gave three to a dwarf.

Great job guys. Love seeing people start to love LoTR. It gets even better as you go. Last movie we will see in our lifetime filmed with so much real in it.

One thing to note about Boromir; He is genuinely a good and decent man. He spent his entire life fighting against the evil of Mordor only to see it's power slowly grow. He is very much a heroic individual but in the film he is dealing with the pressure by his Father (The Steward of Gondor) to bring the Ring back to Gondor so that it might be used in the defence of his home. The Ring plays upon people's desires, Boromir desired (and was desperate) to serve his people and see them protected.

And LOTR began filming in 1999-early 2000 I think. Both the books and movies predated Harry Potter. In fact the Harry Potter films changed the look of the dementors from the book because they looked too much like the Nazgûl in LOTR.

greatest trilogy of all time

Lord of the Rings is one of those series like Star wars and harry potter that set the standards for fantasy etc, pretty sure these movies won every award there is to win.

"It's like find my iphone". God damn I laughed for 10 minutes at that.

Galadriel is a certified good. The moment that she had with Frodo was her greatest fear. Her love was the forest and growing beauty and the ring of adamant basically slows decay. The one ring basically enhances your desires until they become consuming and she knew that. She knew what her fear was (that she wouldn't be strong enough to save her people and her home) and the "test" she referred to was the fact that she wouldn't be allowed into the west (heaven for all intents and purposes) until she overcame her desire and her pride. She is one of the most powerful elves in existence in terms of magic and an extremely powerful elf from a diplomatic sense so putting aside your pride would've been extremely difficult even under normal circumstances but enhanced by the power of the rings temptation and even the fact that he offered it freely it might've been overwhelming for most others.

She's a prime example of "good isn't always necessarily nice". She's certainly got an edge to her, and a deep longing for power - but she resisted it, knowing how much suffering it would bring. She's not above scaring people to keep her home safe, though - and plays into the whole "Elf Witch" stories. Elves in general in the books are less goodie-two-shoes, more fickle and chaotic and sometimes even casually cruel (making fun of Dwarves, for example), more like a force of nature.

The west is not heaven. It’s the land to which elves are called and it’s also where Galadriel was born. She left it to come back to middle earth in part because she wanted to rule. Her rejection of the ring meant she had fully learned humility and could return home. Many elves were exiled in middle earth and most were returning to the elven home.

Tolkien is NOT considered the "Father of the fantasy movie genre". First, he never MADE a movie ... he wrote books and related materials. Second, many, MANY people have written fantasy books, before and after the trilogies, who've never heard of Tolkien, and most of them did so before he was born. Those earlier stories included almost every single creature found in Tolkien's books, and he was also KNOWN to draw heavily on stories, myths and legends that he himself studied. Look, he did some fine works, and I really love the books and movies, but c'mon, be serious ... he didn't invent the genre or add that much to it ... he just wrote a few great stories, that is all. Don't cream in your jeans over him. He was just as human as the rest of us, and it also wouldn't hurt if you tried giving some of the other authors out there a little credit too.

If you're interested, I can tell you a few things, without spoilers, that aren't detailed enough in the film: Galadriel (the Lady of the Light, from the elven word "galad") is a very powerful sorceress who in her millennial life fought many battles (most likely as heavy artillery) against the original dark lord Morgoth, the one who taught Sauron the way to the "dark side". Galadriel and Elrond, the elven king of Rivendell, have telepathic powers, can communicate at a distance and he also has the gift of foresight. Galadriel's daughter married Elrond and therefore Arwen, the one who swears eternal love to Aragorn, is Galadriel's granddaughter. Galadriel's gifts to the company are enchanted and the two daggers given to Merry and Pippin have already been used in combat, as she tells them. the palantir, Saruman's seer stone, is not the only one, there are others (another is kept in the city of Gondor, where Gandalf went to find information about the ring) and looking into it for too long can lead to addiction and folly. Saruman doesn't actually seek the ring for Sauron but he believes he can bend its powers to his will. Pippin comes from a noble family and he is the heir to the title of earl of the shire.

@P3wP3wPanda

Жыл бұрын

That's not correct. According to the Silmarillion, Galadriel did not take part in any of the wars in the First Age because she believed defeating Morgoth was beyond the power of the Eldar, and she was correct. Morgoth was only defeated after the host of the Valar came to Middle Earth and even then, the War of Wrath took 40 years. edit: Oops. I'm giving you wrong information too. The Silmarillion only says Galadriel and Celeborn chose to remain in Middle Earth after the War of Wrath was finished. However Unfinished Tales has this to say in Chapter IV: The History of Galadriel and Celeborn: "In the years after they did not join in the war against Angband, which they judged to be hopeless under the ban of the Valar and without their aid; and their counsel was to withdraw from Beleriand and to build up a power to the eastward (whence they feared that Morgoth would draw reinforcement), befriending and teaching Dark Elves and Men of those regions."
