LORD OF THE RINGS (THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING) PART 2

YOOOO this was insane! should we do the 2nd movie!?

LORD OF THE RINGS (THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING) PART 2

Comments

I will always and forever be a Boromir sympathizer as my friends call me. People have said it earlier but Boromir truly wanted the ring because of his people, out of all the fellowship he has been personally effected by the growing power of Mordor the most and if not stopped his city and people would have no chance. The Dwarves may be able to last in their mountains and the elves have the next world to journey too but for him this was it. His kingdom literally at the door between survival and death. Despite all of that one could see how much he cared about the hobbits. Especially Merry and Pippin. He personally taught them to fight, carried them on his back, risked his life for them so many times and ultimately died trying to protect them, not Frodo and Sam but Merry and Pippin the 2, loveable but ultimately useless members of the fellowship. The first thing he says to Aragorn is that they were taken. He did not have to confess that he attacked Frodo in his death yet he does. He lasted frankly quite some time against the ring especially in compared to other characters who desired it as well. ANYWAY I love Boromir and I hope you keep watching the extended versions! Personally that's what I choose to watch when I rewatch them. and mmmaaayyybbee after LOTR think about StarWars if you haven't checked it out?? Just a suggestion!

This is literally my third time watching this! I can't wait for you to watch the next ones because things really start to pick up there!

If you watch the others, I can’t recommend the extended editions enough. There’s so much context and world-building that would be missing in the theatrical versions. You pay so much attention to the details, I think you would enjoy them much more for a first watch. The Two Towers is my favorite of the trilogy but I understand that the runtimes for the other two films is daunting. It’s worth it, even if it’s in more than two parts. Thank you for giving us your reaction to this, it’s my favorite movie series of all time. I wish I could go back and watch them for the first time again. ❤️

Tara Mayo

Definitely watch the next two extended please! I love how engaged you are. You really understand the point of the different scenes, the dialog, the setup and world building and you seem to have an appreciation for the art of film making. As a die hard fan it was so much fun to watch ❤️

rachel pelfrey

Huge yes to continuing. And I HIGHLY recommend sticking with the extended editions as they add a ton of content. The main complaints against them come from the hard-core Tolkien fans who want everything to be identical to the books. But for a more casual viewer the extended scenes really add to the films a lot imo.

Only 8 minutes in, and it's taken me a couple of days to get here, But I do hope you go on with the 'extended' versions'. 1. I've not seen them all 2. From what I know of them they give more 'lore' context, outside of the standard, but also, without that extra 'lore', I think your 'watch through' will be even more so confusing since you've begun with the 'extra' Lastly 3; One of the best stories ever written. I am 44 years old, and one of the 'things' I gained from my father when he left my my mother was his copies of 'The Hobbit' and his LOTR Trilogy, back when I was like 8 years old. These were the books I cut my literary teeth on. I've read and reread them so many times over the years and with each read, I gain a bit more insight... I'd love to see you watch these, and then revisit them in a decade and give your insight. Truly. You will NOT regret having gone that extra mile.

1:32:00 - I agree! I definitely remember when I first watched this, I was annoyed with Boromir at times, but that was just me seeing what's on the surface (him tryna take the ring from Frodo) when, in reality, it's the ring talking to most of them and causing them to act a certain way. Also, if you think about it, the ring may have caused him that greed but it was also for HIS PEOPLE that he was doing it for and, when I thought about it further, it just made sense for his character and it's not like he was drawn by the ring bc of a simple greed but, at the end of the day, he was thinking it was what was best for his people. It's ironic bc while he annoyed me a bit in some parts of the movie, his death still had me crying, even from first watch, and I just think him still helping the fellowship, regardless of what he had done prior, and even dying in the process had me emotional lol. I loved his ending scene with Aragorn and him calling Aragorn "my king" at the end. OH AND I LOVE SAM. My favorite character ever!! So glad you loved him too. <3

skye

So looking forward to the second movie. The whole trilogy is very good and I completely agree with you, the world building in itself is extremely detailed and thought out so I would recommend keeping the details straight just to make it easier on yourself. My choice would be the extended, but you can go either way.

Daniel Karlsson

Also, I say you should continue with the extended editions ☺️❤️

Ace of Kpop

Big YES to doing the second movie! 🙌

Ace of Kpop

Just to Help with the names: Strider was Just the name he went by during Exile, including when the Hobbits Met him at the inn in Part 1, but in truth his name is Aragorn, and he is the heir to the Throne of Gondor (that was revealed also during Part 1, when they were with the elves. So, you can write down Strider/Aragorn, to know that it's the same Person :)

Lúcia Pacheco

Omg, so excited for this!!! Can't wait for the next movies, I'm all for the extended Version! Also super excited for Game of Thrones, you're Like doing rn all my favorite Stories, I can't believe it, it makes me sooo Happy to be able to be a part of your discovery of new Genres, and I'm so glad you're excited 😊

Lúcia Pacheco

Ofc you should ! Just be ready to cry at some point. It gets intense and quite emotional. The extended editions are a must imo. The movies become incredibly long, but it's all worth it.

Jay K03

another great reaction caitlin! thank you 🫶🏻 i was waiting on the edge of my seat for this, I'm watching a lot of things along with you but this one is the one I'm the most excited about! tbh, as a viewer of you for years now and knowing how much you value a good story, I could see this becoming one of your all time favorite movie series! it is my favorite movie series and i cant see it ever being dethroned! 100% please react to the last 2 movies if you're able to, the story just gets better and better and you have to make it to the end! also I'm an aragorn simp too so trust whenever you fangirl over him I'm giggling with you 😂😂 HES JUST SO FINE 😫

nova★

so hope you do the rest of the trilogy!!!! take your time if you do ofc 🫡

meluncholy

They did lol

Lalisa Truong

Every time you mentioned liking Gandalf, or when you geeked out over “Ned Stark” I was just sitting there like “Oh girl, you about to have a rough time”. Hoping you decide to continue on with LotR! It is legit my favorite film series of all time so it’s fun to get to see someone discover it for the first time! And don’t worry about however long you need to take to watch them…we had to wait a year in between each film when they premiered in theaters 😱😱😱

readyXaimsXfire

And even then, they worked in an awesome nerd reference to LotR 🤣🤣🤣

readyXaimsXfire

Seeing you fall more and more in love with Aragorn has me giggling cause girl SAMEEEE when I first watched these films! This is one of my all time favorite movie series so I definitely would love to see you keep reacting to the other two films. And also recommend keep watching the extended versions of them as well! ❤️

Audra Krenn

It would have been perfect if we had named our dog Merry because honestly you would have thought the two were siblings😂

Savannah Guess

Lol, my mom used to have two cats named Pippin and Strider! I feel like the lotr characters make for great pet names 😂

✨meganELK✨

“He will try to take the ring” “WHO?” “You know of whom I speak” “Oh you’re right I do” LMAOOO All the Aragorn reactions are SENDING me (just like me fr, I’m very normal about that man 😀) And that boromir speech/scene at the end gets me every time 😭😭😭

✨meganELK✨

LOL I believe there's a running joke that any time Sean Bean is in any role, his character ultimately dies or something. The one role where I don't see his character die is in The Martian 😅

Lalisa Truong

I'd love for you to continue watching if that's what you want to do. I really enjoy rewatching these films with you!

Mel

also as a rings of power defender, there's some really interesting stories there

Sean Salley

New Zealand looks absolutely beautiful. Would love to see it myself one day, but it's soooo far away. I remember watching BTS Bon Voyage (S4) and they had some gorgeous locations and shots there as well ❤

Marvelous JJ

Love your reaction, please watch the next two and definitely the extended versions. Sam is the best of them all and the films only get better x

Rebecca Pearce

if you wanna watch them, so do we! personally these are my favorite movies ever, so would be excited to share them with you

Sean Salley

The Tolkien universe has such a special place in my heart and I would be so happy to share it with you! I am so on board for you to watch everything related to this universe from this trilogy to the Hobbit. I have to say the final movie in this trilogy (Return of the King) is my absolute favourite part and I hope we'll get there if you want. Thank you for sharing this world with us :)

LeijahMarie

Love seeing your reaction! Boromir is really interesting. He is a good honourable man, but his desire to protect his people is used by the ring to seduce him and twist his head. And yes, you need to see the next two films! The extended editions do add information, and some things are confusing without them, and if you haven’t read the books. Anyway, next film, the Two towers might actually be my favorite! ❤️

Lina Wiman

She has a video on here explaining everything :)

That’s so cute 😭😭

TOUR! LOTR tour in NZ (my dumb app won’t let me scroll down to edit it). 😣

_Dani.Lynn_

Girl, we thinking the same thoughts…. “Where do they keep getting arrows from?” (I genuinely wonder this, how do they never run out?! Elf magic?). Yes, Ned got killed again… smh The Gandalf scene made me cry, ngl. I actually have never seen the extended versions of these and they have a lot more information in them than the original (like the mithrill scene in the mine doesn’t exist in the regular). These movies are so good, they’re visually beautiful (they were filmed in New Zeland and you can do a LOTR). The 2nd movie runs a little slower but there is more story building with it…and a lot of walking. Bahahahah! But the battle scenes are EPIC!! And related, but not, when ATEEZ did the end of “The Leaders” and San was like “One ring to rule them all, one ring to bring them all” everyone was like “What in the LOTR?!” It was not The One Ring here, but I still sing it in my head every time they say “The One Ring”. 😂🤷‍♀️

_Dani.Lynn_

Also random comment but my cat is named Pippin and it fits him so well because he’s so clumsy and just a goofball😂

Savannah Guess

I’m sorry watching you fall head over heels for Eragorn is too funny! I mean like same girl we’ve all been there😂😂😂

Savannah Guess

Loved re-watching this with you!! Can’t wait for the second movie..

Chris Moehring

I love your reaction!! I always rewatch them this time of year since they each were released in December!! I hope you do continue your LOTR journey 🫶🏼

Vanessa Moreno

Boro ir is such a good character because He is a complex one. He was a hero though. Also, please continue the trilogy with the extended edition! It adds a lot of details that just makes the story even better. There are a lot of scenes that helps you get the feelings and thoughts of the characters and some explanation of lore and culture that got cut in The theatrical release and that is a shame. Also, Sam is Best boy through and through.

Liuzetz

Hells to the yes!!!!

Joker89 C s

I’m so happy you are enjoying these movies thus far! Things are only going to get more and more intense after this!

Savannah Guess

ooooh yay! I'm having my exam tomorrow! and needed something fun to watch to calm my nerves! Can't wait to watch part 2 with you! ❤ and if you do movie 2 and 3 I'll def. watch with you!! ✨

Michmi

I had a pleasure of going to the hobbiton movie set in Matamata New Zealand and guess what!!! it is still as it was 24 years ago kudos to the whole crew who take care of that place till now, Matamata itself was like a fairytale place it was such a surreal experience to know that once upon a time Peter Jackson found this place while he was searching for the perfect shire for this amazing trilogy ! Once again thank you Caitlin for reacting to this 🫶🏼🙏🏼

Temami

yesssss

Chiiken

I really enjoy your reaction to this, it's fun watching the movies again together with you🙃 and taking notes is something I should've done back then😅 but watching the movies all over again and again helps too 🤣 And yes we need all the movies 🥰

Sinah Schulz

Once you start the Journey of the Fellowship, you must see the journey through to the end. It's required. 😅 Sorry...I'm a massive Tolkienista. I used to watch the extended editions of the whole LOTR trilogy (Apendecies included) in one sitting, annually, on or near the anniversary of The Return of the King's release date. The Two Towers soundtrack is still my favorite of the trilogy.

kaegthegamer

Crazy you had to see Sean Bean die again so soon 💔 Boromir redeemed himself at the end and tried his hardest.

Mary Higgins

Hi Caitlin! I’m usually just a silent watcher. But I have to ask where is your YouTube channel? I can only find the channels where you post vlogs and watch series and movies

Rachael

Yesss we need all the movies! ❤

Raíssa Tonin

oh my god Im so excitedddddddd I love that you're taking notes lol its like a DnD campaign. Us nerds appreciate you so much

Morgan Fryer-McCulloch
