Ok guys I know it's been a year but still wanna clear one thing that when tauriel was treating killi, he was not entering into heaven or something, he saw the true light form of the elves as they are a light being. Same goes for the Frodo when he was in a intermediate state he saw the true light form of Arwen.
Yeah it’s funny that these movies are prequels because The Hobbit book was published before The Lord of the Rings and is only minimally connected to it. What’s also funny is most people think the barrel rider scene is hilariously cringe because it’s all CGI. And it just has a lot of filler. With that said, this movie is such a guilty pleasure for me. Smaug, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, is such an interesting character because dragons in Tolkien’s Middle Earth are smart, petty, greedy, and yes, pompous creatures with personalities. They cover gold and are attracted to it, especially when somebody else gets too greedy and loves their money too much. Unlike some other fantasy stories where dragons are only used for CGI battles(can you think of one lol?). The Bilbo and Smaug scene is epic and it’s the first time we’ve ever seen it like this. The Sauron Necromancer thing was only alluded to in the book and I think it happened much later in book canon, but I can’t help but enjoy y’all’s reaction to it. Sauron is also voiced by Cumberbatch in this one. Great reaction again! “I aammmm fire. I aaammmmm DEATH.”
The Lake Town people are the refugees from the Dale. The king of Dale was supposed to kill Smaug but missed his target. Erebor and Dale were neighboring kingdoms.
You asked if there were 3 rings for the dwarves. They're 7. The elves are the ones who got 3. If I'm not mistaken, in the books it's said that some were taken by Sauron and some other ones were lost. The only ones Sauron didn't had his hands on were the 3 with the elves. In the stories, Gandalf, Galadriel and Elrond got one each.
The reason why at the start of the LOTR that Gimli did not get on with Legolas was due to his dad being put in prison by Legolas`s dad. Also the wood elf kingdom is made up of 2 different types of elves. Gandalf was worried that the dragon would join up with Sauron plus the lonely mountain was of stragic importance. In the LOTR books Dale and the Lonely mountains were attacked along with all the elven kingdoms, the side of good were vastly outnumbered. There were 7 rings for the dwarves all but 3 were lost until the last one was taken. Some were destroyed as older dragons could destroy a ring some were taken by Sauron.
About the fight scenes... one have to keep in mind that, while not having superpowers, Elves as immortals have been practicing and training for at least five hundred years, and that is for the younger ones., so yes, they're good at it-... I can barely manage my English or goalkeeping in just 20...
It also drives me nuts when Bilbo is fighting the giant spiders, and he takes the one ring off. It is Bilbo and a magical sword against several giant spiders. He needs all the advantages he can get!
Hey guys, great reaction! So, when the closing credits went to black screen and you could hear the single voice singing, that was Ed Sheeran singing his hit 'I See Fire'. For a KILLER cover of that, search for Geoff Castellucci's 'I See Fire'! I know you don't do music reactions, but just in terms of a great song, you WILL love it!

Everything with Thrain was added or edited to include him. The theatrical version just had Gandalf go in, lift the spell, get attacked by Azog, and then find Sauron. I like the inclusion of the part about the dwarven ring, but honestly of all the things added in the extended editions of all 6 movies that was the worst done. Definitely felt less polished and the weird wilhelm scream just cemented it.
@@jacktheomnithere2127 I was mistaken. The word Nazgul means Wraith, and or Ring Wraith in an elvish tongue. The Dragon Mounts that they ride are typically called Fell Beasts. They are not Dragons and only slightly resemble them in that they are big and winged flying creatures. Tolkien described them and the horses that the Nazgul ride somewhat as undead, kind of like zombies, except that the Fell Beasts eat, and or chew up their enemies. The Fell Beasts also have difficulties in dealing with the giant Eagles as shown in the third movie, because the Eagles are more maneuverable than them especially when the Fell Beasts are mounted with riders. I thought that the Fell Beasts were called Nazgul mostly because the Witch King tells Lady Eowyn not to come between a Nazgul and its prey right after he told his Fell Beast to feed on the Kings flesh.
“Hes dead, he’s dead” how can he be dead when bilbo is in LOTR? That what so bad about prequels is you know they will live because the characters are in the next trilogies. The suspense is lost.
