The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (DAD AND SON FIRST TIME WATCHING) 

Please check out the big comments I typed out just for you beneath your LOTR video. ❤️

​@@Makkaru112 You're literally copy-pasting the same chapter-long comments below every LOTR reaction - stop pretending you typed them out, dude.

Wow... You skipped one of the best parts, the balrog.

@@SilverViper1000 They uploaded a YT short of that scene

Totally agree my friend!

Indeed couldn't agree more! They have already watched/watching attack on titan though, which I don't share the same sentiments with, but oh well.

@PickledShark not only for boys its a great lesson for girls too. i learned a lot from it mostly to stand up against those people that bullied me for 12 years

For everyone "You must never give up hope. There is always hope ". Greatest take away for me .

Absolutely! Also for us women. So many incredible lessons.

Wow, awesome to know things like that

And most of the time Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) went on foot with him to keep him company.

Holy shoe, mad lads. What a great actors.

The scene where Boromir had the ring, "so much fear and doubt over so small a thing," well, there was no real hikeable way to get to that location, so Sean Bean had to take the helicopter there. He was absolutely terrified on the way there, and the only thing going through his head while filming that scene was that he'd have to get back into the helicopter again. And he still did that good of a performance.

Oh man! You could've had your name on those credits... forever!

Lol I thought that LOTR service was compulsory for Kiwis during that time, the way military duty is in some places!

@@irisblue2332 I'm fairly certain that they actually got a bunch of New Zealand armed forces to take part in some of the battle scenes for Helms Deep and the Battle of the Pellenor Fields. Apparently the film makers had to ask them to tone it down a bit because they umm...went a bit overboard with the whole "war" thing. "Lads, stop actually hitting each other, you're supposed to be acting!" "WE'RE ACTING LIKE WARRIORS!!!"

Warner Brothers came a calling at my school when they needed extras for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, to this day, my mother will never let me forget the fact that I could have been "famous".

@@irisblue2332 The production used a lot of local talent including craftsmen, metalworkers, smiths etc. The labor of love that went into these films gives the films an authenticity that makes them timeless.

I rewound to find it. Very surprised at this.

I think they were crying so much over old Gandy they were ashamed to show us 😅😅

Ive watched so many LOTR reactions and I always check for that scene specifically because their emotional response helps me decide if im interested in watching more of their content. The fact that such a key scene is missing from this reaction left me feeling a little dissapointed.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the only reaction to this movie on all of RU-vid to leave that part out. Quite an odd decision indeed. But an otherwise good reaction.

​@@ezradanger It can be responsible to not show your kid crying for all of RU-vid! Although I personally think having intense emotions is a sign of strength.

🤣

@@SofaandChill loved it so much guys when can we expect the next ones? It only gets better and better your son is gonna LOVE it

Come to think of it, he probably left Frodo a few baguettes in the larder, considering the hobbits’ love of food. Took some for the road, too, I’d imagine. 😄

@@emmerrick4563 did you know they recorded this 2 years ago?

@@Makkaru112 huhhh???

:)

@@SofaandChill We might need tshirts with Frodo holding a baguette with a confused look on his face. 🤣 Update: I just followed and tagged you on twitter with the picture of it lol

There’s always been a Baggins living here, under a baguette, in Bag End. 😄

@@0okamino There are no baguettes here, they're all in Hobbiton.

Bag End...his home.

The caring side only shows in the extended edition. That and they recorded this 2 years ago.

And the book. But you do see it in the regular theatrical version too, you just have to look a little deeper.

I completely agree

Greatest trilogy/story ever told

Mate I would sell a kidney to visit those places :)

@@SofaandChillno need for all that. Just buy a ticket lol

@@SofaandChilldon't sell nothing mate. Get that credit cards out and start punching in those numbers!!! New Zealand is an amazing place too travel I'm going back for the third time for exactly these movies Iv been a lord of the rings fan since i can remember I actually wear the one ring And have started my lord of the rings leg tattoo that will have a story line too tell ☺️ loved the reaction mate. Can't wait for you too watch two towers. My favourite of the three

To this day, I don’t believe a tourism board could possibly hope for a better promotional campaign than getting dibs on being Middle Earth.

I go for a walk several times a week on the road that the hobbits land on when they fall down the hill

Partially true. But the theatrical version is actually Peter Jackson’s preferred version as it has the better pacing and more accessible to casual viewers. The extended edition is best watched in the 2nd viewing.

@@tiamzyThat’s a bit misleading. Mr. Jackson said that the best viewing experience for being out and about (movie theater) is the theatrical version, because being in a theater for 3.5+ hours can be taxing. But he prefers, the Extended Editions for a full immersion into the world of Middle Earth!

@@SixFour0391 Peter Jackson: "The theatrical versions are the definitive versions. I regard the extended cuts as being a novelty for the fans that really want to see the extra material." - IGN (Dec 08, 2003)

@@morcjul There is another interview where he sort of contradicts that statement.

@@SixFour0391 That would genuinely be interesting to me if you can find the interview! I could imagine he changed his view after the positive reception for the extended cuts

Of course, the baguettes are included in the inheritance of Bag End. It wouldn’t be befitting of a hobbit’s courtesy to go off and leave Frodo without some nice bread, now would it?

Totally agree Sandra...absolutely incredible

Many thousands of years. Older than the sun & moon. Sauron fears her above all. Which is why (not in the film) was attacking her realm constantly throughout all three books), she and Celeborn defeated his armies every single time! ❤

Yes. Her daughter Celebrian is Elrond's wife. She has already passed over to the Undying Lands.

the uruk-hai actor was not suposed to throw it directly at Aragorn but he was blinded by the make up pure accident and thank god viggo as some good reflexes

For sure. But this was filmed 2 years ago

I have those booklet boxes to, they're fantastic, all the cover art and the huge amount of behind the scenes footage. They take pride of place on our movie shelf.

I actually like the theatrical better.

you want phil dragosh audiobook

I completely disagree, theatrical is 100% better for a first time watch because it's not full of pace-breaking jokes and stuff that needed to be edited out. Watch the extended for your SECOND watch through and it's like you get to watch it for the first time again. Other way around, you're robbing yourself of both a good first & second watch through.

@@jordancrosno9711 Extended scenes at risk of being missed: 1• Frodo and Sam's first meeting with the elves, providing context for Valinor and the elves journey there, as referenced throughout the films and seen at the end of the Return of the King(connects to the passing of the elves in the beginning of their leaving the shire when Frodo and Sam are near the Old Forest by the Shire which leads them to eventually bumping into Merry And Pippin! (An epic scene with Gandalf in Rivendell was also removed as well.) 2. Aragorn singing the Lay of Luthien, providing a parallel between the events of the Beren and Luthien and Aragorn's relationship with Arwen of which every reactor channel I’ve seen makes the connection and it pulls them into a deeper understanding of their relationship every single time. 3. Aragorn kneeling at his mother's grave, giving him some additional backstory for the viewer. 4. Gandalf explaining to Frodo about the corruptive power of the Ring, and how it will strain the Fellowship from the inside, foreshadowing Boromir's downfall. 5. Sam singing a lament for Gandalf, providing more emotional weight to Gandalf's death, referencing the start of the movie and strengthening the connection between him and the Hobbits ( also highlights Tolkien's love of song and poetry in the books). 6. Galadriel giving the gifts to the Fellowship, providing context for their appearance in later films, as well as drawing a parallel between Gimli's gift and the events of the Silmarillion (Fëanor & Galadriel). That’s just the beginning. Including several removed scenes between Aragorn & Galadriel and Aragorn with her husband Celeborn! 7• also the opening explaining Hobbits & their culture to the viewers, so they have a better understanding of these peoples we will be following which also was the direct full chapter called Concerning Hobbits.

@@UnnLykleyyes. Phil Dragash audiobook brings it to life. He even gets the names of the characters and places and events and pretty darned correct too! ❤

Maybe he just pays an editor who he doesn’t know too personally. It happens

Undoubtedly an attempt to make people sign up to their patreon

@@MioRaem makes sense. This video was recorded 2 years ago. What’s the harm in showing a more up to date reaction with his son 2 years later to see what they remember and how his son is old enough to better appreciate the movie this next time around?

@@MioRaem funny thing: anyone mentioning it to him he just sends them a link to a RU-vidShort that shows them reacting to the scene lol. As if that helps a super chopped up masterpiece movie. It makes sense though since it was 2 years ago when he recorded the video. Back when his editing skills were less refined than now that his unique style has been formed.

Yeah that last part isn't in this movie, why would you spoil that for them?

Boromir. - Aragorn sang: Through Rohan over fen and field where the long grass grows The West Wind comes walking, and about the walls it goes. ‘What news from the West, O wandering wind, do you bring to me tonight? Have you seen Boromir the Tall by moon or by starlight? ‘I saw him ride over seven streams, over waters wide and grey, I saw him walk in empty lands until he passed away Into the shadows of the North, I saw him then no more. The North Wind may have heard the horn of the son of Denethor, ‘O Boromir! From the high walls westward I looked afar, But you came not from the empty lands where no men are.’ Then Legolas sang: From the mouths of the Sea the South Wind flies, from the sandhills and the stones, The wailing of the gulls it bears, and at the gate it moans. “What news from the South, O sighing wind, do you bring to me at eve? Where now is Boromir the Fair? He tarries and I grieve. Ask not of me where he doth dwell - so many bones there lie, On the white shores and the dark shores under the stormy sky, So many have passed down Anduin to find the flowing Sea. Ask of the North Wind news of them the North Wind sends to me!’ ‘O Boromir! Beyond the gate the seaward road runs south, But you came not with the wailing gulls from the grey sea’s mouth”. Then Aragorn sang again: From the Gate of the Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring falls, And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls. ‘What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you bring to me today? What news of Boromir the bold? For he is long away.’ ‘Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought, His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought. His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to rest, And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast. ‘O Boromir! The Tower of Guard shall ever northward gaze, To Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.

Thank you! That would have been a lot better than all the jumping around and cutting. Plus, don’t know if anyone else noticed, but the volume on the film is really low. I can hear you guys perfectly, can hardly hear the film.

@@littleogeechee223 you're absolutely right. The volume was mismatched, for sure.

@sofaandchill Please read this thread for next installments 🙏

@@littleogeechee223they also skipped the Balrog scene. Which he answered someone else by saying he’d have a word with his editor. He might as well just rewatch the exended edition or react to top ten extended scenes by RichieNicksGeeking….

@@Lestat13nice to see you. Is DanielleReacts alive and well? She hasn’t replied to the texts to her phone nor her Instagram…

Filmed two years ago sadly

I will have a word with my editor for next movie

Yeah 100%. Also, are you watching the Extended Editions? I missed that in the intro.

​@@SofaandChillto give justice to these movies, you really need 2 part reactions. You can't fit all that awesome into a single video..

Yes, maybe you can put out another video of the mines of Moria reaction on the side before you do the two towers. And I also agree a two part reaction for the next two would do them justice.

@@SofaandChillit’s the main reason people watch people’s reactions. ;)

That's all I heard lmao

Hi Elise, so happy they made you smile, apart from enjoying the movies ourselves, if we can make people smile then it makes it all worth while :)

Thats great, thank you so much for watching along :)

Is this the extended edition or ??

The Peter Jackson movies are masterpieces but they do Isildur HUGE injustice. In the books, Isildur never succumbs to the ring, he instead spends his time being a fair ruler who practically gave power away to the people instead of being power hungry. He comes to realize that he is not powerful enough to truly bend the ring to his will. That it will eventually overcome him. Isildur resolves to give the ring to Elrond but is killed on the way to Rivendel. It's a tragic story of a man that tries to right his wrong but ultimately fails. In the books isildur literally repented and was about to bring the ring to Rivendell and apologize as he recognized it was beyond him even for a great numenorean connected to the faithful line of the mighty Elendil I preface the prologue & war, other depictions I LOVE, captured the themes WELL, the vibe of the whole trilogy! The significance of the duel between Elendil & Sauron was Nerffed; (He wasn’t some random old bloke in armour getting smacked around) This man was MIGHTY and gleaming with power which you’ll find out in the great videos you’ll soon react to with joy! * He and Gil-Galad; last true Elven King battled Sauron and slayed Sauron’s physical body and both died in the process. GilGalad was held high by the face for all free peoples to see as he then incinerated his bodily form to a crisp of ash! Isildur was part of the fight too but not as prominently and he just comes up to the body to cut the ring finger off and…. So one example is how easily Sauron is killed in the intro. * • He's set up as this super powered badass, but all you have to do is cut off his finger? That's not how it went down in the book, where the greatest man-king and the greatest elven-king had to double-team Sauron to strike down his body, but were killed in the effort (Isildur then cuts the ring from the corpse). Especially for elves the title of king has many meanings & by the Third Age there isn’t a population large enough to even attempt to such a thing as creating a unified kingdom, which would put a target on their backs, let alone many of them are beyond all of that anyway as it’s seen as doing more harm than anything good. * They also seen what happened when the elves fell upon the swords of their own hubris and passion no matter if it was for the right reasons some of the time. That it always ended up in some sort of tragedy which sometimes even damaged the earth itself. They had long known about what’s called the Long Defeat as ever since Morgoth’s marring of the land itself; pouring his remnants into it that caused the “magic” to slowly drain away from the land itself, which is sad because for ages several clans of elves were born there. even the greatest ancestors were “born” in middle earth awakening to the stars ! Many of who are left have accepted the next phase of their life which is to become councillors, healers and loremasters to those with the heart to listen and the desire to learn. But above all the guardians and custodians of several things and the world itself for as long as they can remain!❤ The elves “exist” as long as the world does. And Tolkien made it obvious in many ways that it’s our world as he restored Anglo Saxon culture/Mythologies and folklore, and their languages too alongside Irish, Welsh and Finnish mythologies too. Especially Norwegian(of which I am) This is what Amazon (the show that shall not be named) didn’t deliver either [[AKA the actual story which inspired everything we love into existence with games and movies and books and so forth. Skyrim, elder scrolls, oblivion, Diablo, and world of Warcraft and D&D. And Game Of Thrones was hugely inspired by Tolkien… yet as the godfather of everything and the heart of what caused many peoples lives to be saved cannot get the justice it deserves for adaptations? People literally conquered cancer because of the books and the trilogy, the books were read to their children for years. All 25 of them. The man was a hugely respected scholar and professor in the world. Translated ancient artifacts and hieroglyphs and petroglyphs and so forth for the government etc. (JRR Tolkien even rejected being recruited into the CIA several times & he wrote everyone by letter and referenced the dudes who came to him as “little boys who knew not what they got themselves into” which showed his fearlessness.). The readers of the trilogy that came out are who he writes back to despite always replying to everyone back and forth. Many people have shared the stories regarding these conversations which were past down throughout the family lines of the people who had a personal relationship with Tolkien which was hundreds of people when he was alive. Thousands. (Some are in video format too or happened to be shared later on in the video or comes up during a video about him and his work. Especially nowadays when many of us came out of the woodwork to defend professor Tolkiens legacy from amazons money grubbing hands and so forth. Giving many channels a new lease on life where some make Tolkien related content now amongst other things they create content wise.

You would be correct! these was recored a while but due to the bad audio we were not going to release them... after being asked too numerous times, we gave in lol

@@SofaandChill Ahahahaha alright I understand! The crowd can be merciless lol

I thought the same thing! Like maybe it’s a different son!

@@SofaandChilljust upload the extended edition. Let this be a chance to sit back and enjoy it even more. To take in what you didn’t notice before. This true version has way more character building. For example. - 1• Frodo/Sam's first meeting with the elves, providing context for Valinor and the elves journey there, as referenced throughout the films and seen at the end of the Return of the King(connects to the passing of the elves in the beginning of their leaving the shire when Frodo and Sam are near the Old Forest by the Shire which leads them to eventually bumping into Merry And Pippin!

It's also copyright Rob, Gandalfs death is such a big scene that RU-vid jump straight on anybody watching these movies

@@SofaandChill Pesky copyrights!

@@SofaandChill We understand that, of course, and it can be difficult to decide what to keep, what to lose ... but better to cut into 2 or 3 videos than to lose some of the most memorable and important moments 🤥 Hope you find a way to handle this in the next 2 parts ... which you are both going to LOVE, by the way! 🤩

There's no way... So many reactions include these scenes. Makes no sense that "you just cant" @@SofaandChill
