You are never late to watch this trilogy. Nor are you early. You’re watching it as precisely when you means to.

"He created his own languages for this didn't he." Its crazier than that. Language was his passion growing up. He was a professor of philology and he crafted his own languages for their own sake. For the joy of making them. He created this world to ground his languages in, to try to give them some of the cultural idiosyncracies and irregularities that natural real world languages have., He wrote The Hobbiit and that was successful and then publishers started pushing him for a sequel and he ended up creating an epic and tying that back into The Hobbit. Basically the opposite of how I imagine most writers do things.

My favorite little touch during the council meeting is that NO ONE NOTICED THREE EXTRA HOBBITS LISTENING IN. You can see that Elrond's completely startled at their appearance. Elves are able to see and hear extremely well, and none of them picked up on the Hobbits.

fun fact! Tolkien didn't exactly create Elvish speak "for the Lord of the Rings". He made a whole language, and then thought "This should have a story to go with it" and THEN wrote Lord of the Rings. I love that fact about him

I'm actually impressed that you noticed the ring did not bounce when Bilbo let go of it as if it was a heavy weight that just dropped, most people (myself included) didn't catch that the first time. They actually used a magnet that was built under the wooden floors to make that effect.

In the opening sequence, when Isildur puts on the ring, people usually say: "Oh wow, he's gone invisible!" But you said: "Wait, so did he abandon his men?" Hats off to you M'Lady! Great reaction. Lots of Love from the UK 💜 -x-

I’ve seen quite a few reactions to this, but nobody has shown the plot awareness you have… great to see such clarity and intelligence in a reactor. I think Pippin would say “ you need someone of intelligence on this sort of mission…quest…thing !” Can’t wait for Part 2 !!!

They actually used far less CGI in this trilogy than would be used just a decade-ish later in the Hobbit trilogy. They used a lot of matte paintings for backgrounds beyond what they built for sets, and made a lot of scale models of stuff like stone buildings and statues out of very well lit and painted styrofoam.

Peter Jackson knew how important this story was and took great care to ensure that it was told properly. There were many years the family did not want the story to be tainted by lousy filmwork, so he took extra precautions to make it as believable as possible. One of the ways was that all of the Orcs, Goblins, and any other evil creature had its own look. Very detailed. These films won 17 Academy Awards for its excellence

"I want to understand the lore of this seemingly beautiful world" Instant sub barely a minute in

I LOVE the hobbits busting in and Sam ready to throw hands on Strider! 😂😂😂

The soundtrack for lotr is stunning in every way. Also fun fact, a lot of those sets (like Rivendell) aren’t all CGI! They’re huge miniature sets and that’s part of why they’re so beautiful and detailed and real

After all these years, this is still one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. A lot of the sets were actually practical effects, like miniature models and clever character angles to force perspective instead of just using green screen! The DVD extras were always so fun to watch, because you could really see the insane amount of love and craftsmanship put into these films. 🧡

You're such an intelligent and perceptive reactor. Many others are so busy loudly asking questions, they miss many of the most beautifully written descriptions in the film. You notice small important details. Thank you!! Well done!

At 25:00 Strider says, "He's been stabbed by a Morgul blade." In the book, It is described as being notched, with the point broken off. Gandalf later explains, "They tried to pierce your heart with a Morgul-knife which remains in the wound. If they had succeeded, you would have become like they are, only weaker and under their command.You would have become a wraith under the dominion of the Dark Lord; and he would have tormented you for trying to keep the Ring, if any greater torment were possible than being robbed of it and seeing it on his hand."

The conflict at the ford is definitely a bit different in the movie than it was in the book, but this was mostly because Jackson and company wanted to bump up Arewen's role in things so that you felt the romance between her and Aragorn more. She's essentially a background character in the books without any lines. In the book, the one who comes across them in the woods is an elf named Glorfindel, who has a really fascinating history and is one of the most powerful elves in all of Middle Earth. However, he is NOT the one who causes the ford to rise up against the Ring Wraiths. That is done by Elrond himself, who possesses one of the three elven rings (Vilya, the ring of Air, and the strongest of the three rings), which appears to be at least partially how he was able to accomplish such a great feat of magic. Glorfindel, however, is the one who keeps the Wraiths from leaving the ford and escaping the water. He did not carry Frodo across the ford, though. That was done by Frodo alone, and he has a great moment when, despite his injury and exhaustion, he manages to muster up enough strength to defy the Wraiths from the Rivendell side of the ford, telling them they shall have neither the ring nor him. So, lots of changes here, but they are understandable. Given what a great, strong, frankly incredible character Strider is, they wanted to give him a love interest who seemed truly suited to him, I think. Saruman, by the way, is an absolutely awful creature in the movies, and yet somehow, someway, he's actually even WORSE in the books. His pettiness and selfishness are more evident. Here he's mostly driven by fear, and casts his lot with what he thinks is the winning side, becoming a puppet in the process. In the books he's more interested in power of his own, and is playing both sides in an effort to come out on top. A lot of his motivation is jealousy and pride, though fear does play into it as well.

“You gotta be evil to think up something like that.” Hey, are you saying J R R Tolkien was evil? 😄 To be fair, while I do believe he landed very much on the side of good himself, he was perhaps eyebrow-raisingly good at bringing voice to evil. He lived through both World Wars, and had even been in combat during his service in WW1 (and lost many great friends in the war); and though he wasn’t active in WW2, it was always looming at England’s doorstep, so he was quite up close and personally familiar with what horror and evil sounds like.

The Lord of the Rings is easily one of the best movie trilogies and one of the best fantasy series. It's so good. I'm glad you did the extended editions. I can't wait for the rest.

Hobbits have seven meals a day when they can get them. Pippin and Merry come from rich families, and have likely never missed a meal in their lives.

The life expectancy of hobbits is around 90-100 years old. But Bilbo, looks quite younger (around 70, having 111). And of course, as you realized, because of the ring. I´ve seen many reactions but I´m impressed with you. So clever, perceptive and intuitive. I will follow you in all this journey!

It was an extremely decent, warm and sincere reaction. I've watched hundreds of reactions to this trilogy so far, and this one is undoubtedly in the top three. I'm looking forward to your reaction to the next movie in the series. I would also like to thank you for your free full reaction courtesy.

At 6:27 you ask, "Who is she? What does she want?" She is Lobelia Sackville-Baggins--she and her husband Otho were Bilbo's closest living relatives, and since Bilbo was a bachelor, they would have inherited Bag End, Bilbo's Hobbit-hole, until Bilbo adopted Frodo as his legitimate heir 12 years previously. When Bilbo says of Frodo, "He's a Baggins, not some blockheaded Bracegirdle from Hardbottle," Bilbo was presumably thinking of Lobelia, nee Bracegirdle, of Hardbottle.

I didn't read the books until after I found out about the movies. I was at a summer camp the year that the first movie came out. One of the counselors there was really cool and I kind of hit it off and we were talking about the movies and about a month after I got back from camp I got a package in the mail from him and he sent me the whole set of novels. I never spoke to him again I don't even remember his name. But he defined so many years of my life When he gave me the books to read right before the movies came out. I was absolutely obsessed with them. I thought it was amazing. And part of the reason why...just like you... is I thought the fact that he made up this entire universe including different languages was the coolest thing EVER.

I really appreciate how engaged you are. I can tell you have practice with active listening, but you also seem to have a very fast "processing speed" when it comes to making connections and forming theories. Great video!

"I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened." "So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." Fun Fact: Despite playing a dwarf, John Rhys-Davies is the tallest of the actors who play members of the Fellowship. He is 6' 1" in height. Thud Landing Fact: According to Sean Astin in the Extended DVD commentary, when Bilbo (Ian Holm) drops the Ring before leaving Hobbiton, the floor was magnetic to prevent the Ring from bouncing. This was done to demonstrate the importance and weight of the Ring. Stay In Character Fact: Gandalf's painful encounter with a ceiling beam in Bilbo's (Ian Holm) hobbit-hole was not in the script. Sir Ian McKellen banged his forehead against the beam accidentally. Sir Peter Jackson thought McKellen did a great job "acting through" the mistake, and kept it in.

Always fun watching the greatest movies of all time with an intelligent, observant and nice person ✌️

10:20 - THANK YOU! For noticing the weight given the Ring when it hit the ground with a thud and did not bounce.That was a relatively small but still very important indicator of the Ring's power and potency and I don't recall any other RU-vidrs catching that (or, at least, pointing it out in their edited videos).

I will never tire of watching people react to this movie. Your attention to detail is sharp! Great reaction, I love how emotionally engaged you became with this story almost immediately! And I'm glad to hear your appreciation for the soundtrack! Howard Shore created an absolute ✨masterpiece✨ with the music for this trilogy. To this day I will often play this music in the morning while I drink my coffee.

The way you said This ring is its own being. Thats spot on!

I dunno if this has been mentioned, but the adaptation kinda did Isildur dirty. In Tolkien's writings he had a much more complicated relationship with the ring, eventually realizing that he could never command it and that it would eventually gain control over him. It was on a journey to undo his mistake and destroy it that he was ambushed on the road.

You asked how long hobbits live. Bilbo is 111 at his birthday party, very respectable. The Old Took, an ancestor of his on his mother’s side, held the record at 130. Hobbits aren’t considered adults until the age of 33.

Have I mentioned that I love your extremely perceptive commentary? There are times I've had to stop watching some reactions because the reactors were missing incredibly obvious stuff, but you pick up even the little details!

The best part of reaction videos is reliving our own experience of that first time. and you gave us an excellent reaction!

I just love Tolkien’s critique of industrialism throughout the books and how Jackson tapped into that through what scenes he decided to focus on.

I love these movies, but there are two things I wished were closer to the books. The gap between Gandalf leaving the Shire and coming back was 17 years while he hunted for information about the ring. The farmer that told the wraith witch way to go in the books instead told him to get lost and chased him off with his dogs and then later helped Frodo on his journey out of the Shire.

I'm sure some people have said it already, but Tolkien didn't create his own languages for the books... he created the books for his languages! He was a lifelong linguist and philologist, and had been writing and creating his own languages for what he called his Secondary World since arguably his time in the trenches of WW1, though he'd absolutely been crafting languages since he was a child. His creative process would often revolve around a word, or a name that he would invent and then imagine how the history of that name either came to be, or would change over time. For example, the great city of Minas Tirith which you saw briefly where Gandalf read about Isildur finding the Ring of Power, is an Elven name. It means Tower of the Guard, and it was actually renamed from Minas Anor, which meant Tower of the Sun, when it became the seat of power in Gondor. It was called that because it quite literally became a Guard post against the threat of its twin tower Minas Morgul after it was captured by Mordor. Minas Morgul means Tower of Sorcery, and it was originally called Minas Ithil. Minas Ithil means Tower of the Moon. All of these name changes are the result of the historicity of names and words in Tolkien's mind. The Tower of the Moon became the Tower of Sorcery after it was taken by Mordor and given to the Nazgul, and the Tower of the Sun became the Tower of the Guard to defend against that threat. Both are then translated into Elven names because of Gondor's long history and kinship with the Elves which is its *own* long story.

Another fantastically entertaining reaction! I love seeing you be able to connect the dots from all the snippets you've seen before. Truly one of the great trilogies of all time (books and movies)! Can't wait to see the next one. A++++! Also, I see you created a patreon. I'm on the way!!

One thing that is sort of implied in the books (or at least it felt like it was when I read them) Was that The White Wizard was not truely loyal to Sauron, but intended to Survive by siding with him and (presumably) betray him, which is... not a good idea, but more morally corrupt than Evil.

Fantastic reaction Kahla; I just love listening to your melodious voice! I think that it's good you'd already been haphazardly exposed to the trilogy... As a result, you are following the important threads of this complex&beautiful story really well!!! Thanx

Unbelievable that your channel is so underrated, your commentary is top notch. Stunning prediction from the scene where Bilbo gives up the ring, I did not catch that on my first watch through. Thank you for this video, feels like I am watching for the first time again.

Loving your reaction! ❤ I never read the books but I loved the movies and I love when people come write little books facts in the comments. I also love watching this trilogy annually. It's more now, because of reactions. 😂 You definitely have to check out the Soundtracks to all three movies! It's some of the most beautiful and haunting music that's ever recorded. I especially love The House of Healing by Liv Tyler, only in the extended version of the 3rd movie. Smeagol's song, which is the one during the credits of the 2nd movie, and Into The West. Sung by Anne Lennox and also the Oscar winner that year. ❤❤❤ But seriously, all the music is a must listen.

its awesome seeing new people watch this MAGNIFICENT piece of art

Tolkien did create many languages, many used in middle earth, at least 3 distinct elven languages, dwarvish, a couple Human ones and some other. I don't know the exact number, but I want to say 23. (that might be the real ones he knew though, so don't quote me on that.) just do yourself a favour and add the entire album to your playlist, the music is a masterpiece.

The Ring drop was a clever trick. They made a ring out of steel, and had a strong magnet under the tile.

Your one of first reactors to note that the ring didn't bounce. I've always loved that representation of the weight the Ring Bearer has to bear. Well done.

Hobbits have 7 official meals a day, breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner and supper. No respectable hobbit would skip those meals, and there is snacking in between the meals of course.

One of the more interesting adaptation changes in this film is the fact that Peter Jackson chose to cut out the 17 years passed between Bilbo leaving the Shire and Frodo setting off on the quest. And Frodo didn’t just leave, he spent months doing everything he could to make sure the other hobbits thought he didn’t just disappear into thin air. Which is all fine in a book, but not so much in a film where you have to sustain tension and forward momentum.

One other fantasy movie I would recommend is the 1982 dark fantasy movie The Dark Crystal, if that's OKay? It's directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz, who made Sesame Street and The Muppets. It's about a creature called a Gelfling named Jen who's on a quest to restore balance to his world and overthrow the evil Skeksis by restoring a powerful broken crystal they lord over. It's another of the best fantasy movies, and the cool thing about it is that all the creatures and characters are all puppets and practical effects. There are no humans at all. I think it's a good time and definitely worth watching.

I just came across your reactions to this trilogy. It is obvious that you really connected with the emotional aspects of these films. I will have to check out your Patreon to look at your full reactions. I appreciate how fond you are of Gandalf. I’m sure people have already mentioned how wonderful the making of the movie videos are that were part of the extended version DVDs. In one of the videos commentaries the actor who plays Gandalf spoke about that moment when Frodo speaks up to say that he will take the ring to Mordor. Ian McKellan’s face is so expressive at that moment. And he talked about how what he was wanting to convey was the type of emotion that a father would feel for a son announcing he was going off to war. He wanted to express both how proud that would make him, but at the same time how much he wouldn’t want that to happen to his son. And I think he did a marvelous job. I’m going to post the link to a video that talks about how much Ian McKellan’s eyes are one of his best acting attributes. It is truly worth watching. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TzLXHViyW7I.htmlsi=VvftAsicLCJiSoQD

Brilliant stuff! (was waiting for pt 2 to drop to watch both together)

It's nice that you kept the movie on the large screen, and the scenes are well picked and edited together, instead of cut up and mashed.

Love to see reactions where the reactor is so aware of everything that happens and make correct guesses! Looking forward to see the rest :)

Thank you so much for commenting on the details the creators put in to show the weight of the ring, you are one of only two people I’ve ever seen comment that it doesn’t even bounce. One of the best details in the first movie

Great to see that it's the extended edition; then I'll probably give the reaction a watch. I would put it in the title and/or description too so that people who are interested know without checking the comment section or see if you say it in the video (which in this case luckily you did almost right away).

"They're gonna eat good" For now.

It's so exciting to see someone else experience this saga! Since your RotK video comes out today I thought I'd give these a watch. I love that you're appreciating the music already, all the recurring themes only get better from here :D Also shoutout to that 'oh nO' when the first wraith showed up because haaaard same

You’re absolutely right, the one ring is in a way a being. It’s Sauron Fear (soul), meaning it’s sentient, and it’s ultimate goal is to get back to daddy Sauron. It’s also capable of slightly increasing its size or shrinking, that’s why it slipped off Isildurs finger in the Anduin river

The score to this film is just on another level. Every part of this Trilogy somehow hit the target perfectly... Casting, Writing, Direction, Sets, Costume, Acting, Score... it's a one-in-a-lifetime result.

Far out I'm 10 minutes in this reaction and you're already impressing me with how much of the subtle details you have picked up on. Brilliant reaction.

"We're watching "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" the *EXTENDED EDITION!*" Damn right!

Its crazy how fast you caught on to the ring. Subtle details. Mentioning it being its own being.

Your attention to detail and insight into the more subtle aspects were fantastic! I cant wait to see more!

I'm rewatching your reaction (because I can and I want to). Kudos to you Kahla. You picked up on all the small details (and mentioned the cake at Bilbo's party) SO quickly. It was nice to watch someone paying attention. You're in an elite group of a few who do. Your reactions to this epic overall were, shall we say, almost precious 😂 Looking forward to catching your Star Wars saga this weekend.

Ahh here we go, the big one. I am very excited to see your reaction to this trilogy! 🤩

the song "Concerning Hobbits" (aka Shire theme) always plays in my head when I come back home after a very long trip or vacation

great to see your reaction, Kahla... you spotted and commented on quite a few subtle things... looking forward to your next reactions of the trilogy... PS. Rivendell was not CGI, and so are neither most of the other places... they spent 2 years of shooting it all, and before that a whole year to prepare... creating all the costumes, building places (sometimes several models in different sizes)... they wanted to make it an as real world, as it gets. There's quite some 'The making of...' videos for it on youtube - worthwhile!! 😎

What the movie skips is that between the Bilbos party and Frodo's departure from the Shire, 17 years have passed. Thats why, bilbo looks so much older when we meet him in rivendell

You are one of the few reactors that notices the peculiar way the ring hits the floor and its symbolism. Bravo!!

Weta Workshop (I think started with LOTR, and based in New Zealand) created the miniatures and costumes and props. They have a website to buy some of these things along with other projects they’ve worked on, since LOTR! I’ve gotten maps and pipes and Bilbo’s contract (from The Hobbit), from Weta Workshop! They do excellent work!!

The ring falling onto the ground was actually done by putting magnets under the floor, giving it the unnatural lack of bouncing.

The one thing wrong in the intro is that Sauron forged the 3 elven rings, the poem eludes to that but the Elves discovered Sauron's treachery in trying to corrupt the Dwarves and Men and Celebrimbor who helped Sauron forged the other 12 forged on his own the 3 Elven rings. Two things lead to Sauruman changing sides. Gandalf had been given one of the Elven rings shortly after his arrival and Sauruman was furious that Gandalf the Grey his underling would be given this gift instead of him who is the head of the order. Sauruman was jealous of Gandalf for hundreds of years and wanted a Ring of Power for his own. His use of the Pilantir allowed Sauron to play on his jealousy of Gandalf to corrupt him against his mission.

the only movie I've ever seen a tent flying in the sky! and yes, the music is just wonderful!

The actor who plays Saruman and Count Dooku was Christopher Lee, the only one of the cast to have met J.R.R. Tolkien, the writer of this whole thing when he was a young man

I enjoyed watching this with you SO MUCH! Looking forward to the rest if the journey with you❤

You’re such a kind soul. I loved your reaction oh and you’re really pretty. So please make more vids 😅

I love how the fellowship has so many members willing to help take the ring into Mordor (enemy territory). Gimli standing up and pledging to go with Frodo always makes me think of Bilbo and gimli's father gloin. I feel like Gimli was very much willing to help out a hobbit...especially one that was related to one that helped out his family/clan.

These are probably the best fantasy trilogies ever made hands down. I saw them in the theater back then.... incredible. The.music, I agree..it goes right into my heart... I start to feel again .... freaking gorgeous and magical.

In the book, Bilbo and Frodo share the same birthday - September 22. When Bilbo turns 111, Frodo turns 33, which is the age of adulthood for Hobbits. Also, Bilbo is the first person to willingly give up the Ring (though he had help from Gandalf), which tells a lot about his character. It's probably why Gandalf felt safer about leaving it with Frodo.

I agree with you about the music. I listened to this soundtrack all the time before and after the movie came out. XD Great reaction. 💙

25:59 “What is that?” That is an Uruk-hai, a hybrid of goblins (who dwell inside mountains), orcs (basically the same except they live on the surface), and humans (regular humans). Goblins and orcs are generally smaller than humans and are highly allergic to sunlight. By adding in the human DNA Saruman made a hybrid species (technically a genetic chimera) that could move in sunlight, cover great distance at speed, and obey him unthinkingly. The book talked about orc fathers and human mothers, which implied struggle-snuggle. Peter Jackson didn’t want to depict this, so he had them be spawned out of pools of mud instead.

Finally the first person i ever see in a reaction to this movie, who notices the weight with which the ring lands instead of bouncing. ....MY GOD have i waited for anybody to ever notice that detail!

You pick up and notice SO much!! Really enjoyable reaction. Excited to watch more of your stuff

I highly recommend The Outsiders . It is one of the best movies I’ve ever watched.

Aragorn’s entrance is one of my favorite parts of this movie.

I first read the books back in the 70s and still read them every so often

Oh, I love your reaction to this movie! You're aware of what's going on. I can see you're really enjoying it. I can't wait to watch your reaction to the other two movies

That was a great reaction! Really good edit and commentary. Looking forward to the next parts 👍

When adapting the Lord of the Rings to film, Peter Jackson obviously had to trim a lot of the original story away to make it digestible in a visual medium. Even with all of the extra bits cut down, it's still a gargantuan trilogy of films! One of the notable divergences he made (which I bring up because of your interest in the story in particular) is on Isildur. In Tolkien's works, Isildur became king during the final battle with Sauron, where he sees his father Elendil and brother Anarion slain, and avenges them both by cutting the Ring from the Dark Lord's finger. The Ring was taken from the field specifically as a spoil of war for the loss of his family. He would go on to be a good king for much of his life, making Gondor safe, and was actually able to resist the Ring for decades! He intended to bring it to Elrond in Rivendel towards the end of his life, as he knew he could never bring himself to destroy it, but was ambushed on the way. He only ever wore it a single time, which was after his son had died protecting him in that ambush and his last living advisor pleaded with him to escape and deliver it to the elves. He also didn't die under its thrall - he lost it in the river while fleeing, felt the terrible burden of it leave him, and then died in battle on the muddy shore when the orcs caught him. It paints a very different, far more flattering image of Isildur than the movies, and has a bit of a knock-on effect - Aragorn in the books, for one, is proud to be of the line of Isildur rather than ashamed of it. Still, it's a very minor detail in the plot as a whole, and it's easy to see why it was simplified for pacing's sake.

Also grats on pushing 5k subs! What a milestone… I’m riding so let’s go 🎉

do you have any idea how many people i’ve seen watch this and pickup immediately that the way the Ring lands is significant? very few, its so refreshing to watch you and see how insightful you are with the story oh funfact, the reason the spider and insects are in that scene and things get dead silent when the nazgul are on screen is trying to convey how the book describes how the nazgul have a supernatural aura of evil that instills terror in living things, the bugs are trying to *run*

Make sure you watch the extended versions of the 2nd and 3rd movies, otherwise you miss a lot. Just so you know, saruman is actually trying to doublecross sauron. He wants the ring for himself. He thinks he can control it. The little orcs around saruman are from mordor - sauron’s orcs sent to help saruman but also to spy on him. The big fighting orcs - the uruk hai - are loyal only to saruman. Orcs are like that. But its why saruman’s orders are a bit vague - to avoid sauron’s orcs knowing what saruman is doing. The movies dont make this bit of the story very clear. But notice that, while saruman knows where the fellowship is he never lets Sauron know.

Thank you for such a good reaction! It was so good to watch your video!

I saw the thumbnail to this video and I was like "OMG, does Brandy have a reaction channel? Brandy is watching LotR?"

Great reaction! Your empathetic and sensitive nature is going to make this a wonderful journey to watch. Don't worry, this 47 year old dude will be crying right along with you!

it's impossible not to get emotional when watching these movies, if it's not the music it's the connection between the characters thanks to the actor's performances

Been waiting for these got to be one of the best trilogy’s ever 🎉

Director Peter Jackson created a long list of appendices that show how the films were created. Hours of content. I also have the music score on my playlist.

32:34 I forgot this actually beautiful, epic shot of Gandalf.
