First Time Watching *LORD OF THE RINGS*: The Two Towers Movie Reaction | Extended Edition (PART 1) 

Thanks so much for watching! I have NEVER had this much trouble with copyright! Editing style will be changing for the better. I guess that's what happens when you mess with masterpieces lol! I'm sorry for making you all wait but geez, this was a process! If you watched this or my last reaction you know I've been LOVING these LOTR movies! I strive to be a Sam!! I appreciate you joining me on this journey! Also FULL anime and movie reactions on the Patreon! GO GET THAT!! www.patreon.com/sunnyp

"Real Elvish rope!" It undid itself because Sam tugged on it, not because it was a bad knot.

That was a real scream by viggo. He hurt his toe when he kicked the helmet

Orcs were said to be "spawned", and there are constant references to orcs as "maggots". It was told that the Orcs "had life of their own, and multiplied after the Children of Iluvatar (Elves and Men)". I appreciate the effort and determination you made to share this reaction with us - The Powers That be are making things difficult for creators, and I applaud what you've done so far!

The one thing that ramps up Grima Wormtongue's creepiness, is his lack of eyebrows. The makeup department knew what they were doing in that respect. I looked up the actor that portrays Grima, Brad Dourif, and discovered that he voiced Chucky, in the "Child's Play" franchise. You'd never guess from his accent in the movie that he was born in West Virginia.

Thank you for persevering to get this back up. Not sure if anyone commented last time - when the orcs feed Merry something to drink, it's called orc-draught: closest analogue in our world would be rotgut whisky laced with amphetamines. It is actually vaguely medicinal. (On-set, Dominic Monaghan was forcibly drinking fruit juice.)

Andy Serkis should have won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Smeagol, but there wasn't any appropriate category for CGI actors at the time (I'm told they have changed the rules since). That scene with Smeagol arguing with Gollum was done in a single take, with Andy alternating seamlessly between Smeagol and Gollum! If you look closely, you'll note that the pupils of Smeagol's eyes are larger than Gollum's pupils. Speaking of eyes, if you look closely at Galadriel's eyes, you'll see she has stars in them. Tolkien writes, "no sign of age was upon them, unless it were in the depths of their eyes, for these were keen as lances in the starlight, and yet profound, the wells of deep memory." The producers designed a special lighting fixture, which they called the "Galadriel light," to produce this effect.

Grima, called Wormtoung by the people of Rohan, really can't tell Saruman much he doesn't already know. He's been living in the tower of Orthanc for 2000 years. The Gap of Rohan was only gifted to The Hose Lords 500 years earlier. The Shire was given to the Hobbits by the King of Arnor 400 years before that kingdom fell. So the Shire has their home for 1500 years. Both Rohan and the Shire had been depopulated by war and disease. The Northern Kingdom and Gondor offered the lands because it put allies close at hand helping to protect its own borders. Also, Tolkien wanted to demonstrate that not just The High Men and Elves could be brave and valiant . Regular people are vital to the fight, too. Hama the Doorward of Theoden's Hall knew full well what Gandalf was up to with his staff. Everyone feared for the king and Hama hoped that Gandalf and his small company might be the help Theoden so desperately needed.

One thing i've always loved about these movies, and about Middle Earth in general, is that it feels like it COULD be a real place. It's all in the details. There are so many little details in the lore and the visuals and the costumes that make it super believable, even with all of the fantasy elements.

How DARE you cutting Legolas when he said THE line Just kidding it's a great reaction, love it I completely agree with you on the realistic look of this amazing world I can imagine very easely that i'm here with the Fellowship and i WISH i can be there with them

Everyone says at the beginning of this film, with Gandalf, 'do I have to see this again' but the folk that were watching them way back, had to wait a year for the second film

Did you happen to notice what Sam added to his rabbit stew? "You never know."

cant believe no one mentioned it, so ill write the obligatory comment: fun fact- Vigo (the actor who played Aragorn) actually broke his Toe in the scene where he kick the Orcs Helmet, so he played his pain into the scream

31:28 The lady Eowyn was cousin to Theodred, who died. Her brother is Eomer. The horse lord with the horse outline on his face shield/helmet. Their uncle is Theoden. King of Rohan. Father of Theodred.

I love how protective you are of Frodo and Sam, so sweet! 💖

The Elvish rope was putting Gollum into fits… burning…freezing…

When aragorn kicked the helmet he broke his toe. 😂😂

i tend to watch a lot of reaction videos of LOTR, and this is the first one in a loooong time that pointed out a detail i had missed - i hadn't noticed that Eomer's helmet had a horse just right there! also, just imagine how it would be to see these movies when they first came out. that shot of the black rider and their beast must have been INSANE to see in cinema. excited for more videos, keep it up!

The thing you should know about Gandalf. He is not a human. The Wizards are Istari, also known as Maiar. They are the same life-form as the Balrog, the big fiery demon. The Balrogs are "Evil Istari". The Wizards, being "Good Istari" were grouped in a sort of "Order" or Hierarchy. There were 5 Maiar sent to Middle Earth by the Valar, to help and counsel the free people of Middle Earth. They are Saruman The White, who is the head of the Order of Maiar. Then there was Gandalf the Grey, Rhadagast the Brown, and there were two Blue Maiar who did not play any part of these tales, so were never mentioned. The Balrog is a Maiar that was corrupted and made evil by a rebellious Valar known as Melkor. As I mentioned, they are not human, you can think of them like Angels. And yes, Gandalf The Grey was killed in his fight with the Balrog, but not being Human, death for him is a little different. When he died, he returned to Illuvatar and the Valar, and they sent him back to finish his task, and given an additional task when they made him The White. You can think of that as a "promotion" of sorts. He was sent back to "fire" or "demote" Sauron. Sauron being corrupted, was no longer worthy to be the head of the Order of Maiar. Gandalf was made the Head of the Order in Saruman's place, and Saruman was removed from his position, having betrayed his Order and his Color. When Gandalf returned as The White, his memory of the details that came before were lost and muddled. He basically had to relearn what happened, which is why he forgot he was ever called Gandalf (one of his MANY of his names, one being Mithrandir), and remembered it when Aragorn called him by the name. Sorry for being somewhat long winded, but I hope it clears up a few things about Gandalf. Hope it helped.

Fun fact: the Dead Marshes was a battle field during the war we saw at the beginning of Fellowship. Legolas’ grandfather, Oropher, unwilling to wait for reinforcements from Gil-Galad, the high king of the Noldor elves and Elrond, and got himself killed. Before the sun and moon were even created, the elves first awoke in Middle Earth. The little g gods, the Valar, invited them to live with them in the Undying lands. Many accepted, but some did not. The Noldor are elves that came back to Middle Earth from the Undying lands at the very beginning of the First Age in pursuit of Morgoth, the first dark lord, and Sauron’s former boss. So the Noldor did not necessarily have the best relationships with the elves that never left Middle Earth. One of these clans of elves were the Sindar. Oropher, his son, Thranduil, and grandson, Legolas are Sindar elves who never went to the Undying Lands. They did not think highly of the Noldor, and chose not to wait for them, before charging Sauron’s mountain of orcs, and he and most of his company of Sindar elves were annihilated. The battle ground and bodies were taken over by the Dead Marshes. That’s why there is magic and evil in the Dead Marshes, both. Another great reaction. 💕👍🏼

11:11 / That “Go, child.” scene is sad and heartbreaking every time I see it.

Love getting to see you watch these for the first time. They are some of my favorite films. Thanks for another great reaction.

The Leaf 'pins' are the 'brands' of the Fellowship. As you saw in this when Aragorn, Legolas, & Gimley were chasing the orcs who had Merry and Pippin , Pippin dropped his 'Leaf pin' so they knew they were on the right track. ;-)

When I found out that the Gimli actor was the voice of Treebeard I Had to rewatch it 😂

"Gandalf 2.0" Thanks for the great reaction!

Just so you know when Gimli says "three days and nights pursuit" let me put it into perspective: *they ran 45 leagues/135 miles/217 kilometers in 3 full days/72 hours NONSTOP ro catch the Uruk-hai that took Merry & Pippin*

Hah !...reposted.. I thought I had seen you do this one..🤣... Yeah the ones running this platform have different rules for different creators... it's purposefully done rather than arbitrary in my opinion... Always great to see you either way...hoping you have an excellent week... 🌿🌿🌿

If you look closely you’ll notice the two masked soldiers who come to check on Sam when he falls down the cliff are played by women :)

Aragon's a ranger, he's just using his tracking skills to follow the hobbit's path through the fight, like a hunter tracking a wild animal.

Elvish cloak clocked as a rock. 👍

Aragorn, from his days as Strider, was a "Ranger" of the North. Hence his great tracking skills.

And one more thing, you can visit the shire, its in new zeeland. 😮

Sunny, do enjoy these movies while you can, because there will never be anything like this again! And the best thing about these movies is that they are rewatchable, every time you see it you will notice something new that you missed the previous time. I still notice things and i have seen them many many times, definitly my favourite movies of all time! After these you should see the hobbit, and you should do them while you still have these movies fresh in memory! FYI! sorry for any misspelling words, english is not my first language 😂, stay safe and enjoy man!

viggo mortensen spent a lot of time bonding with the horse (slept in stables with him) and afterwards bought the horse and as a thank you to the trainer bought the white horse (Shadowfax) for the trainer as a gift.

yes, female dwarves in tolkien's universe (and not only there!) have beards. 20 years later, some genius creators apparently decided that this was politically incorrect, and shaved them off. probably other such progressive people decided to shave the klingons too ,but that's another story..

Gandalf is (secretly) a maiar, a powerful holy spiritual being. He serves the Valar (demigods) and the Valar serve Eru (the creator god). Sauron (the flaming eye dude who created the one ring) is also a maiar - just one that has rebelled against the Valar. Gandalf's job is to guide the people of Middle Earth to fight against Sauron. Saruman also had the same job ... but he has failed because he has joined Sauron and started seeking power for himself. Gandalf's body died, but his spirit was sent back in a new body, until his job is done.

Very entertaining and insightful commentary.

Concerning the orcs, there is debate on their origin and continued breeding. Origin story tells of elves being corrupted by Melkor (Sauron’s boss) in the first age , but further writings described them as being made from dirt. As enthusiasts we just kind of wing it. I’m leaving it to Tolkien scholars. Some of the Tolkien lore sites have brought this topic up.

Gandalf did die, but he’s basically a demi-god in Tolkiens world, so the higher powers sent him back to Middle Earth to continue the fight against Sauron

If you take recommendations from YT, I suggest you view Galaxy Quest & Princess Bride for adventure/fantasy comedy films & Firefly (14epidodes/1 season) which is kind of cowboys in space. Enjoying your channel, look forward to you exploring some fantastic films!

I really want to see you do the third Lord of the rings return of the King

The movies leave out so much from the books and I recommend them highly but start with the "Silmarillion" by Tolkien for the back story then go back and watch the extended versions again.

Bless you

I imagine the draught they were given was either like Guinness or some weird Soylent like stuff

"Give it to us raw and wriggling!" Yep, Smeagol said it first, thousands of years ago. I like how Merry looks like he's dying until he hears the trees of Fangorn groaning, then he's all chipper. 🎥 💍 💓 🌋 🍿

bro where is the return of the king reaction :(( ? 3 months already

40:15 😂

Donno if it's me or what... I keep seeing these scene's and they get to a part where most people like, but it's chopped up soo much I loose connection; here in TT I can only make it half way... Over and over and over and its with the Fellowship too. FYI: A consideration for YT edits is 'the music' - graphics can be left out or masked; same with audio. Part of the chopped issue might be that "I'm expecting to 'see' a story" but only get bits of any scene and no 'important'/'connecting' parts. Understandable that 'you want to save' the good reactions, etc. for your Ppeople, but you still need to give YTers something! Oh yes, YT is Thee Gateway to P! NOTE: Editing needs work. A lot of it and from Fellowship and here seem to be 'randomly broken up.' And at points in 'the story' when people are talking, only part of any word gets through. OH YES!!! It is very hard to do all this by yourself and we all apricate that!!! It can also be as hard or harder to go from one type of format to another. Thee most important part is: "This is YOUR Channel Man!" At this point I would recommend that after you finish Return of the King is to go look at some other YT Edits. Please note that some of them do have Professional Editors but don't be daunted by that! For one - this guy lol I'm really liking him and his Co-Pilots! @EOMReacts He's way different from you! lol About 6mo ago he did LotR. Ya need to connect us with you and the movie and draw us over, but you still need to satisfy YT. I see and feel that you have great potential here! Congrats and good luck, I'll drop in from time to time! There are soo many different kind of reactors it's not even funny, do it Your Way!

he called Gimli the Dwarf King ! ^^ cute .. Master Dwarf Yes dwarf King No .. not by long shot which u will learn in the hobbit movies

Good

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Return of the kring????? Pleeeeeas 😀 Pax! /ToZ

Almost every Reaction: Gandalf: "It was pity that stayed Bilbos hand. Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement." Reactor:"Gandalf is so wise!" Reactor sees Gollum: "Kill IT!" I whish this dichotomy was even remotely funny ... 😥

React to Danganronpa V3 class trail Ost

GANDALF IS A MIAR...HE IS THE SAME BEING AS THE BALROG WAS. A MIAR IS LIKE AN ANGEL BUT OF A LESSER KIND. THE BALROG USED TO BE MIAR JUST LIKE GANDALF BUT THEY BETRAYED ERU ELUVATAR THE "GOD" IN THIS WORLD NAD FOLLOW THE DARK LORD INSTEAD. SAORON WAS A VLAR, AN ANGLE OF HIGHER KIND THAN THE MIAR LIEK GANDALF BUT HE WAS FALLEN BECASUE OF HIS ARROGANCE. TOLKEIN PUT A LOT OF BIBLICAL REFERENCE IN HIS WRITING OF THIS BOOK. SO THEY TURNED IN TO A FALLEN ANGEL...LIKE DEMONS AND DEVIL. SO TECHNICALLY GANDALF CAN FIGHT THE BALROG BUT GANDALF WAS SEND BY THE GOD TO EARTH AS A GUIDANCE AND AS AN OLD MAN AND HIS TRUE POWER ARE BEING LIMITED , BUT HE STILL FACE THE BALROG/DEMON ONLY AFTER HIS DEATH THEN ERU THE GOD GAVE HIM LIFE BACK AND SEND HIM BACK TO MIDDLE EARTH WITH A LITTLE MORE POWER, BUT NOT AS MUCH AS POWERFULL AS HIS REAL SELF BUT AS A WHITE WIZARD TO REPLACE SARUMAN THAT HAS BEEN CORRUPTED NOW.
