The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) | Movie Reaction | Part 2: Super Adventure 

The bridge in Moria was designed specifically that way with no handrails and thin to deter enemies who managed to breach the gates. It was the only way into the mountain once someone got in the gate, and Dwarves being naturally surefooted had no trouble with it, but it forced enemies into a bottleneck and made them extremely easy to pick off.

Sad fact about the tomb in Moria: there are three members of Thorin's company who lie dead there; Balin, Ori and Oin. Balin is in the sarcophagus, Ori is the skeleton holding the book where he wrote the final log entry, and Oin(Gimli's uncle) was eaten by the Watcher in the Water

About Gollum: "Why don't we kill him?" One of the most pivotal questions presented before the characters in the book.

The best scene is Boromir's death, where he goes down like a hero to redeem his screw-up.

Viggo's face when Gandalf fell was excellent acting. In the books, Aragorn and Gandalf were close friends. And with Gandalf's loss, Aragorn knew he had to take up the mantle of leadership, too.

When this was coming out my biggest fear was that they would mess up the Balrog. When I saw it for the first time in the theater, it blew away my expectations.

There is a huge significance to Gimli's gift from Galadriel: Galadriel is a Princess of the Noldor, Elves who lived once in Valinor, the Undying Lands, and while there, Feanor, the Heir to the High King of the Noldor, was infatuated with her beauty, and he asked 3 times for a single hair from her head, but each time she rejected him because she felt something not right within him. Spurned, he created the Silmarills, three jewels of magnificent light captured from the Two Trees of Valinor. Melkor, the Dark Lord whom Sauron himself was just a lieutenant, desired the jewels, and after killing Feanor's father, he stole the gems and killed the two trees so their like could never be made again. Feanor swore a terrible oath to reclaim the Silmarils no matter who possessed them, and fuelling the fire of the Noldor, he persuaded half of them to travel to Middle Earth to wage war on Melkor, whom Feanor now named Morgoth, the Dark Enemy of the World. It is to Morgoth that the Balrogs swear allegiance, and Morgoth alone, though after hundreds of years and many tragedies and losses, one final battle was fought that changed the world and sank the Continent of Beleriand, which once lay West of Middle Earth, and Morgoth was cast out into the Outer Darkness beyond the walls of the world, forever. Sauron fled, as did many Orcs, and some of the Balrogs hid deep beneath the Earth, where much later, the Dwarves would dig too deep and awaken one, who drove the Dwarves from their city of the Dwarodelf, which was renamed Moria, the Black Pit. Galadriel stayed in Middle Earth after the War for the jewels, and felt unworthy of returning home until she could prove herself - which Frodo did when he offered her the Ring, and while tempted, she declined. Gimli's kind words to Galadriel, and the love for his friends and companions, were qualities that Feanor did not possess, so when he asked for a single hair, she gave him what Feanor had asked - three hairs. In the books, every Elf knows the significance of this, and is amazed by what Galadriel did as a gesture of good will, though the history behind why it is significant, is not in the books. The story behind it is in another set of books, and the war for the jewels is in yet another set of books. There are a lot of books.

"Don't worry, Sam. He knows the way home." "Does he though?" Don't worry, Bill is a very special pony, and knows a very safe place to go. He'll be OK.

Toucan Sam does indeed approve of Gandalf's advice.

Galadriel isn’t evil, she’s ancient and mysterious. In the words of C.S. Lewis, it is often hard for us to believe that something can be both wonderful and terrible.

Just a brief explanation about why it was such a big deal when Galadriel gave Gimli 3 strands of hair. During the 1st age a very powerful elf lord asked the same thing but was rejected. So for Galadriel to grant Gimli his request was hugely significant considering the poor relations between elves and dwarves and also the historical significance of the gesture. I don't want to give the whole thing away but I definitely recommend you look it up for yourself :) The depth of Tolkiens lore is unrivalled.

6:30 They were looking at a veing of Mithril ore that Gandalf was showing them. A happy little factoid: Bill the pony did indeed make his way home to Bree. Boromir wasn't blowing the horn of Gondor to draw the Uruk-hai, it was a call for help. He wanted to keep Merry and Pippin safe, and, not knowing Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas were already preoccupied with fighting, he tried to signal for their aid. The horn of Gondor was also a well-known object/heirloom, even to orcs. Regular orcs would have known the significance of it and the person carrying it, and would have hesitated to attack Boromir out of fear, but unfortunately for him he was not facing regular orcs.

The finest rocket's ever seen, They burst with stars of blue and green. And after the thunder, silver showers, Came falling like a rain of flowers. R.I.P. Gandalf

fun fact: in the books, Gollum stalking them is the SCARIEST SHIT. they never actually see him crawling around like in the movie, but instead they just occasionally notice a pair of glowing eyes in the dark at night, staring at them silently. or at least they THINK they do, because they always vanish as they do a double-take. every time, its written practically like a horror novel and it spooked the hell out of me first time I read it lol.

I love the callback: "Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king." said Boromir to Aragorn. [...] "I would have followed you, my brother, my captain, my king." said Boromir to Aragorn.

Really appreciate your stoneface responses to her questions. A lot of reactors are really bad at giving away spoilers to other people in the room. You more or less know when to keep quiet and when to answer her questions when she actually missed something.

Favorite character is Sam. He is loyal, humble and heroic. In the books, the Ring works on people by trying to influence them with things they love. Sam loves nature, so the Ring gave him a vision of a massive garden all to himself, to which Sam just said "thats ridiculous" and the hold from the ring was released.

Viggo actually deflectes that dagger and the dagger that was used was a real dagger not a prop, the actor who played Lurtz mistimed the throw and was also supposed to throw it to the right/left of viggo but ended up being dead on. So it is proven that deflecting a dagger throw on reaction is possible

my favorite part would have to be the scene of Boromir sacrificing himself. He may have been tempted, but he was an honorable man at heart. Evil corrupts and tempts everyone. that is the whole thing with it. He wasnt bad, and he redeemed himself fully.

I think Boromir is a truly tragic character. His main flaw is that he cares too much. It's easy to think it's pride or arrogance, but I think he actually just has a deep desire to help the people of Gondor and Middle-Earth and sees it as an unprecedented opportunity. He's obviously light on wisdom to think he can succeed where other greats have failed, or perhaps his desire to finally defeat Sauron, who has menaced his people for an age, overwhelms his better judgment. He cares deeply about the fate of his people which is why he is reluctant to consider Aragorn a worthy King until he sees what he is made of. He also cares about the hobbits after Moria and pleads for their time to mourn. His empathy becomes his flaw that the One Ring uses to corrupt his will. I think this is why his heroic death hits so hard for me because he was a good man who does all he can to his last breath to make up for his weakness. How many of us are empathic and yet lack the internal fortitude or ability to meaningfully help others?

Galadriel is one of the most ancient of the Elves. And her (as well as Elrond's) Elves are called Noldor. The Wood Elves are the ones living in Mirkwood, from whence Legolas hails.

My favorite character is Boromir by far. Hes a perfect microcosm of what Tolkiens take on humanity is in this universe. Boromir is selfless, brave and incredibly kind and loving toward the hobbits, he dies fighting for those he loves. But he is also very flawed. He is desperate to save his people and gives in to temptation and doubt in his attempted to find a way to help. He is broken, but stands strong anyway. Absolutely love him as a character. 'My brother, My captain, My king'. Gets me every time.

Boromir is my all time favorite character, his dynamic and character development is pure genius in my opinion. I have 2 all time favorite moments from the film that tie, 1. Frodo saying he would take the ring to Mordor, although "I do not know the way" always hits the heart. And Boromir's rescue of the hobbits and fighting to his last breath, just beautiful cinematography.

Boromir wasn't blowing his horn to draw them to him, he was asking for help. They were all separated and he new he couldn't hold all of them, so they had to regroup to have a better chance.

The creature in the pool at the Gates of Moria is known as "the Watcher in the Water."

Goblins and Orcs are the descendants of Elves that were captured, tortured and warped by the evil magic of Morgoth, the Original Dark master of Sauron... many ages before.

I love that he keeps looking over to his wife for a reaction and is met with a deadpan, emotionless stare almost every time.

“I would’ve followed you My Brother, My Captain, My KING.... “😭

Not sure if anyone already said it but at the final battle where aragorn deflects a knife at the end with his sword, that was a total accident. The knife was auppose to be thrown out of the way so it missed him but vigo mortenson or however you spell it, is just a badass and did that like it was nothing

6:34 Mithril is a very rare mineral found only in the depths of Moria, and only the dwarves learned how to fashion it into armor. It is known to be light as clothing, but as hard as dragonscales. Unfortunately, the dwarves were cut off from accessing it after the mines were taken over by orcs and the Balrog

“Do spiders shoot arrows?”, “...goblins”

Yes, it was Toucan Sam who sang the jingle, "Follow your nose, it always knows" during some early Fruit Loops commercials. And the animation would stretch his beak until it brought him and kids to a bowl of the cereal. I can't believe i wrote this. Dork compulsion.

I love how her eyes go wide at the bridge because of the fear of heights, but not at the OP flaming, demonic giant.

Favorite scene: Boromir's death and redemption. It's the culmination of his story arc and it's pretty epic, even if it's sad. Favorite character: Aragorn. The gradual reveal of his character throughout the film is intriguing, especially considering how shifty he starts off in Bree. Favorite weapon: Narsil, the sword that cut the Ring from Sauron's hand and now rests in shards in Rivendell. Second place for me goes to Sting, which features both a beautiful design and a pretty cool special ability to glow in the presence of orcs.

I had read the books many times so when the movies were announced I was really hyped up for the mines of Moria and it was everything I hoped for and more. Best scene and of course culminating with Gandalf's fall and legendary line "Fly, you fools!" Sting is my favorite weapon just because it's a carryover from The Hobbit and Bilbo and glows when goblins/enemies are near. Favorite character is Gandalf the Gray may he rest in peace.

"Why don't you kill him?" Considering what Gandalf says immediately after that, I hope she felt a little guilty.

Favourite character - Boromir When I was younger I always thought he was a baddie but after reading the books and rewatching movies I think he is the most relatable character. His homeland his on the brink of destruction and his father's, the Steward of Gondor, rule is fading and Boromir feels the need to defend his homeland and to his father. When he is presented with the ring of power he sees it as a opportunity to protect his country and his father. He tries to take the ring because the ring plays on his need to do those things. Favourite weapon - Sting That thing glows

3 hairs is a reference to the 3 Silmarils. It’s a very long story so just know it means a great deal to Legolas and he’ll trust Gimli from now on. FYI people will comment that Viggo actually broke his toe which is why the cry sounds so real in the two towers, But more impressive is that was a real knife he deflected

Most moving scene for me was Aragorn giving peace to Boromir. Love Legolas's skill with the bow and arrow... favourite character is Galadriel, her gifts have much impact later in the story!

The most epic bromance of them all is just getting started. Looking back at the Goonies you can see even from a young age Sean Astin had a real knack for delivering uplifting speeches, and he delivers again and again in this trilogy

That narrow bridge in Moria was a defense mechanism. It's a lot harder to invade when you can only send your troops in single-file.

Man I truly appreciate your ability to not spoil anything for her ^^ It makes this great to watch.

I loved the Mr. Movies was mouthing "You shall not Pass!" At that scene :) You know a movies good when someone watching it is wide eyed and silent for big chunks of it too ;)

Right as Gandalf said follow your nose my immediate thought was " wow Tucan Sam would love him" then you said that lol. Defietly said it at the end of every commercial 👍😂

Fun fact, Viggo Mortensen became so good with the sword that in the scene where he deflected the thrown dagger at the end of the movie, he actually did that. That was not a stunt or a visual effect, though was unintended and left in.

Having never read hte books, I went to see this in theaters like a lot of people. I actually lost control of my emotions for a bit when that music hit after Gandalf fell. I didn't know what was coming in the next movie.

"It's pretty grand for a dwarf." Tolkien dwarves are all about grandeur.

12:56 This is actually a very well-thought-out defensive position from the pov of the Dwarves whose kingdom this was. These steps are part of the defense works against anyone invading Moria. Imagine having to fight your way up those steps, against an army of defenders firing arrows at you in all directions. That is another reason for all the narrow bridges (which don't bother dwarves so much, anyway). 16:59 Galadriel is one of the oldest and most powerful Elves in Middle Earth. It doesn't really come up much in the film, but she is the wielder of one of the three Elven Rings mentioned in the prologue (Gandalf and Elrond have the other two). She was born in the far west, in Valinor the Undying Lands, and she rebelled when coming to Middle Earth. She has been waiting to be allowed to go back home for over seven thousand years. Also, her daughter was Arwen's mother. She is very distantly related to Aragorn, since he is a direct descendant from Elros, Elrond's twin brother (they were the children of two unions of Men and Elves--so were given the choice to be Elf or Human, but Elros chose to be counted as a Man, a choice Arwen also has available to her). Another important detail is that Galadriel and Gandalf are very close friends, and she never totally trusted Saruman. 18:34 This is a wonderful, tiny detail. Frodo has grown in stature and natural strength over the last few months. So much so he can now converse with another Ring-Bearer without speech. A little bit. (Later Elrond and Galadriel have such a conversation--because they are both Ring-Bearers, i.e. the Elven Rings). This of course is her version of what Bilbo did when he saw the Ring again. But...she passed the test. She was able to resist it.

Favorite character Legolas; Line "Get off the road"; Scene sequence: The Intro; Weapon the new elven bow from Galadriel & Legolas' daggers. Another favorite line is from Sam in the boat: "I made a promise... a promise" Now more than ever having one's word be one's bond should be the most treasured aspect of one's character. Fidelity and the truth matter.

The Mr. refers to Galadriel's people as "the Wood Elves" a couple of times, but -- to be pedantic -- only some of the inhabitants of Lothlorien are Silvan (Wood) Elves (although most of Legolas' people are). Galadriel, Celeborn, and the other more powerful residents of Lorien are Noldor, a.k.a. "Deep Elves": gifted warriors, craftspeople, and loremasters who came back to Middle-Earth from the Blessed Realm.

Boromir, Boromir and Boromir. He is the best character. He is so complex , I love his struggle between duty and honour (hence why he tries to take the ring but somehow we see that he does feel guilt.) But also Sean Bean is just a legend. My favourite scene is his death, because even though it's gut wrenching to see him die, he has a real heroes death. That and watching him reconcile with Aragorn, show that he would have followed his King and his admittance that he did try to take the ring and he was wrong. It's just a brilliant ending to the character. And as for weapons, yeah, swords good, but nice to have a shield too.

Pippin has the best lines in the first movie. I also adore Bilbo at his birthday party. "Have you been at the Gaffer's home brew again ?" "No... well yes...but..."

The elves of Lothlorien are not "wood elves." You're thinking of the elves of Mirkwood (Legolas's people). The elves of Lothlorien are "high elves." Their queen, Galadriel is one of the oldest and most powerful beings in Middle-Earth. If I remember correctly, she is also Arwen's grandmother, as Elrond married her daughter.

For me is first movie the best one by far especially because of moria. The using of sound is just amazing.

Galadriel is Arwen's grandmother. Galadriel is good. But she's not safe.

Favorite weapon of the movie: Narsil, the Sword That Was Broken.

The girl will watch this once, and never again. The guy will watch it 100 more times.

I almost forgot you reacted to the Lord Of The Rings, Yes I just remember when Balrog first appeared in the mines, you just sat there quietly and didn't say a word as if you had never anything epic like it before, until Gandalf fell down the really deep cavern

They showed the dept of the mines the dwarfs have dug out to get to the mithril. showing the greed that let to the release of the Balrog. Boromir is by far my favorite character because he was so human but at the end he realized his mistake and begged Frodo's forgiveness. before going to give literally everything to keep the fellowship intact. buying time for Frodo and sam to escape as well.

The Two Towers is my favourite of the three can’t wait to see the reaction to the second film! I love the part at the beginning when we first see the ring wraiths when the hobbits are on their way to meet Gandalf at the prancing pony.

"In place of a Dark Lord you would have a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn, treacherous as the sea, stronger than the foundations of the Earth, all shall love me and despair!" Such a great line. Especially that last part.

"She's a *bad witch* ?" Gimli is not gonna be so happy about that 😂 edit: Boromir deserved much better :,( He's the man of honor, the best of Gondor. Boromir was Gondor's hope but he himself had no hope 'cos he's a realist, he knew what's really going on in the world yet he kept fighting for his city and his people. He finally found the hope in Aragorn; the heir of Kings,...and he died...dammit.

Thanks for posting this part two so quick. Most you tubers would have made us wait a week. Oh, and congratulations on your continuing streak of movies with caves. Don’t worry, there are more caves in the sequels.

My favorite character(s) has changed as I've aged. As a kid I always like Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli. As I've gotten older I think I much more appreciate and relate to Sam, Frodo, and Boromir.

Favorite scene: Boromir's death hands down. I have cried so many times because of it. Favorite weapon: Gotta go with Sting, purely from sentimental value. Favorite character: Boromir. I love how he's such a flawed person but has a good heart, and he makes terrible mistakes but he does his best to make up for them in the end.

I think when I first saw this film my favorites were Frodo and Legolas (those bow action scenes are so cool!), but I do love Aragorn and Gandalf as well. And Merry and Pippen... oh hell, each character is interesting in his or her own right! I'm not sure I can name one single scene from this film because I think the entire thing is beautifully done from start to finish. Fellowship is my favorite of the trilogy. I saw it in the theatre and remember feeling like I got sucked into that world and didn't notice anything else around me for the entirety of the film. Everything from the sets to the lighting to the pacing and the music and the acting... it all was so well done. I probably love the elf scenes best - Rivendell and Lothlorien seemed so magical (the music is perfect for those scenes and the ethereal lighting makes everything seem so unusual). And I love when Gandalf says "So do all who live to see such times... all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." That, and when Boromir is fighting to his death (and keeps getting up, no matter how many arrows hit him) move me a lot. Him calling Aragorn his captain and king makes me cry every single time. Favorite weapon? Probably the bow. Legolas really is cool. But I love the details of most everything in the film. Even the canoe paddles have beautifully intricate carvings on them! It all helps to create this otherworldly feel. Great stuff. :) Thanks for reacting to the films!

LOL I'm glad I am not the only one who thinks of Toucan Sam when Gandalf says, "Follow your nose.".

Every time I watch this movie, I just want to sharpen my sword, grab my walking stick, and turn on some Led Zepplin while I ramble on. 😁 As for my favorite member of the fellowship... It has to be Gandalf. Any dude that'll face a Balrog with just a sword and a staff, yeah, I'm going to follow him.

Boromir is the best. We see him being skeptical of Aragorn, initially, but quickly comes around when he sees Aragorn's leadership qualities and honor. We also see Boromir treat the hobbits with quite a lot of respect, something the elves, dwarves, and wizards don't do a whole lot of. Boromir is the one who's training them how to fight throughout the film, and he's the one who is always looking out for them the most, trying to make sure they are healthy, trying to give them time to grieve for Gandalf, and rushing to their defense when they are in danger. Even when he tries to take the ring, that scene begins with him expressing genuine concern for Frodo, it's just the evil of the ring begins to affect him. The elf and dwarf are too busy squabbling with each other, and trying to argue with Gandalf about their course of action to really pay much attention to the Hobbits. Aragorn is mostly focused on the needs of the mission, keeping the big picture in mind. Gandalf is so busy dealing with everyone's bickering and trying to guide Frodo by the safest path. That leaves Boromir to really be the glue that holds the fellowship together. Boromir is the fellowship's mom. It's fitting that it's Boromir's death that causes the fellowship to split up.

The movies get progressively better (IMO) look forward to the next ones. Galadriel and her crew are Noldor/high elves (not wood elves) they have seen the trees of light in the undying lands. Legolas and his people are wood elves.

Lol must be really hard not to explain everything.

" Nobody tosses a Dorf!"

This lady is so cute. During the Balrog staircase chase scene she was like, *”No handrails at all? Oh gosh…”*

That scene with the cave troll is beautiful. No music in parts of it makes it that much more dark and scary.

Boromir is my favorite character. The scene on the pass of caradhras on the mountain when Frodo falls and drops the ring and Boromir picks it up. That is my favorite scene in all the films. Really fond of Glamdring if we're just going with those carried by the fellowship. Overall though I've always liked the design of Narsil the sword the cut the ring from Sauron's hand.

Just in case anyone who hasn't read the books is worrying about it, Bill the pony does make it home safely.

My favorite character in the whole movie is the Balrog of Moria. He's 100% Metal.

She doesn’t understand the art of cinema does she? 😂😂😂

Has Mrs Movies ever cried during a movie? No emotion at Gandalf’s death. And the Frodo/Sam bromance moment at the end always gets me even as a full grown hetero male pig😂. Let’s find something that will break her veil of cynicism and apathy shall we?

The dude I the video makes it. The girl is obviously a NPC. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Guy: “did you find it boring? “ Female NPC “not all of it” wow 🤦🏻‍♂️

In the books, Tolkien uses the term goblins to refer to Orcs. They're all the same being, and were not meant to be separate creatures in the books. Basically Tolkien would refer to Orcs in caves as Goblins and in mountainous areas as Mountain Orcs. The reason Gandalf looks so confused and has no memory of Moria, is due to the last time he passed through, he was coming from the other side. Also, at that time Moria was fully under the control of the Dwarves, and between that time and the film Orcs had invaded and slowly took over.

The name Halfling is not derogatory towards the Hobbits. It is what they were called by Men from Numenor (the Dunedain) which is the race Aragorn and somewhat less, Boromir are. The Hobbits are usually about 3 foot to 3 foot 6 inches in height. The Numenorians usually were about 6.5 to 7 foot tall. Thus the Hobbits are half the height of these Men. That is where the name Halfling comes from. Hobbit is the name that the Hobbits gave themselves. In the next book, but not movie, there is a discussion about the name Hobbit with a new group of Humans that are met in that book. There are many channels on RU-vid that go through the peoples and places in the Lord of the Rings and there is usually at least one video on each channel about the origins of Hobbits. There are also things written down by Tolkien in the Appendices of these books and in other writings on the world of Middle-Earth.

Of course Sam is my favorite character. Although my idol was always Legolas espacially the scene when he faces the wolfriders (second movie). Such a masterpiece.

Sword is the best weapon, for what emboies, honor and bravery in the right hands. That's why my fav scene and moment was always and to this day Aragorn fighting alone at the end, protecting Frodo and even giving a little respect to those Uruks before he kills them🤷‍♂️👍

"Just follow your nose! It always knows!" Yes it was Toucan Sam.

6:44 When you return to a game that you haven't played over 6 months

Even I had a crush on Viggo :). I didnt know about lord of the rings until first movie went into cinemas and we went to the cinema as a school trip, it was quickly followed by several sleepless nights reading a books. Silmarilion is tought to read, but adds alot to the story of the world. For example Galadriels hairs mentioned in other comments, or origin of wizards and Balrogs.

"... on its chest was written in cruel runes, 'Villanova'." "Aiyee, a ballhog!"

The Gifts of Galadriel in the books were somewhat different than those in the movie. In the books, Sam got a little box of soil and a seed from Galadriel's garden - - Sam planted it at Bag End, and it grew into a *Mallorn* tree - - one of the golden trees that Lothlorien is full of. Boromir was given a golden belt; Merry and Pippin received silver belts. Aragorn was given a magical sword sheath, and a large green stone, the *Elessar,* from which he took his kingly name - - Elessar, the Elfstone. The ropes made of *Hithlain* were provided in each of the elf-boats that they took down river - - Sam took a coil with him , thinking it might be useful. One of Sam's uncles was a roper (ropermaker) by trade.

Gimli is probably my favorite character of the fellowship. John Rhys-Davies adds the right comedy and character that I see in a dwarf. I think his dialogue get funnier in the second movie.

I think my favourite might be Legolas, but that's partially because I love archery and elves

Favorite character over all 3 movies is Sam. In this movie it's Aragorn. Favorite weapon is Legolas' bow. Favorite scene is harder because I love the part between Aragorn and Frodo. "I would have gone with you till the end" but I also love Boromir's final scene with Aragorn and Sam telling Frodo about his promise not to leave him.

"A heavy price; I pay it gladly" - Boromir in "Equilibrium"

i love the lingering on aragorn as he realises that he is the leader now...

Unpopular opinion: The greatest member of the fellowship is Boromir. The greatest scene (in the movie) is obviously Gandalf vs. the Balrog. The most emotional ones are: 1) Boromirs death 2) The tomb in Moria 3) Frodo leaves Sam and he goes after him.

Aragorn is my favorite character in each movie. Favorite scene would be the chase of Arwen by the Nazgùl. Favorite weapon, a sword (I'm very classical).

Sam is my favorite character. Best part of the movie, Gandalf taking to Frodo about Bilbo sparing Gollum, Boromis redeeming himself and saying goodbye to Aragorn/Strider, and then Frodo recalling it at the end of the movie

I love her reactions. She is critical and sarcastic (these are not bad things), so when something hits for her, when it lands, or when she is impressed by something, you know. P.S. My favorite character is Aragorn, once and future King of Gondor, heir of Elendil and Isildur, and scion of Numenor

She just seems annoyed and uninterested through this whole thing Is she always like that or does she just not like the movie?

Choosing a favorite member of the Fellowship is like asking a parent to choose a favorite child, but my top 3 are Aragorn, Sam, and believe it or not, Pippin.
