Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is Great! - Talking About Tapes

Tony, Johanna, and Joe from Movie Dumpster go on a quest to revisit The Fellowship of the Ring 20 years after it hit theaters. In this movie review/podcast of the first live action Lord of the rings film they will discuss all the things they think make the movie great. Like the top notch special effects, how it expertly adapts the source material, and the amazing set design.
The future of civilization rests in the fate of the One Ring, which has been lost for centuries. Powerful forces are unrelenting in their search for it. But fate has placed it in the hands of a young Hobbit named Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), who inherits the Ring and steps into legend. A daunting task lies ahead for Frodo when he becomes the Ringbearer - to destroy the One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom where it was forged.

I reacted to the Rings of Power trailer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWS0e6WbrKmIh7c

[@roygbiv7370]

That Adam & Eve commercial was golden! 👌

[@riffcrypt8438]

"The blade is also magic!?" "IT'S A MAGIC WORLD TONY!" Lmfao. I love this channel.

[@shanester1832]

That was the best sponsor commercial I've seen in a while.

[@JadedJester739]

the Adam and Eve commercial woulda been funnier if Tony's face on the shirt wasn't blurred but his face was lol jmo

[@forgottenworldofmovies3913]

That Adam & Eve sponsor nearly killed me dead with laughter!

[@Hurtts101]

Best sponsorship add ever!

[@Eisenwulf666]

i gotta say, all jokes aside,Crystal looks gorgeous in that lingerie..The satisfied customers were hilarious btw!

[@wstine79]

That was an awesome AD. Crystal, Johanna, and Trisha looked so good. And it was hilarious.

[@Assimandeli]

The whole time I was waiting for a shot of Justin laying on a rug next to a fireplace or something. A gag missed, even if that had plummeted their subscriber count lol.

[@CaptAwesumNo1Zone]

Glab has been girls since the last collection of my sister when I type and age I am

[@TheUltimateGC]

lol that Adam and Eve ad was great

[@PhantomBugler]

Love how in the Adam and Eve ad, Johana isn't putting on that phony, flirty voice like the others and is just "Yup, I'm shilling this stuff, buy it or don't, I don't give af".

[@stevenpina1983]

She seems like a nice genuine person more than anyone else

[@stevenpina1983]

But crystal is a good person too for sure!

[@shanester1832]

It's quite clear that Tony and Trisha are pure evil.

[@wstine79]

One does not simply watch "Fellowship of the Ring" & not talk about its great sets, acting, effects, and superb make up.

[@thelivingjed9676]

And music, and props.

[@nostalgiainjection8867]

And BAGGINS!!

[@rorschach36]

And second breakfasts

[@The-Flute-Wizard]

ADAM & EVE advertisement was TOP NOTCH, truly a laugh out loud moment, you all rock so much, its the best

[@elimgarak4667]

I simply love it when Joe is in an episode. Him and Tony's rapport is off the charts. Also, 2:08:35 should have been the episode teaser. That whole conversation. LOL

[@chicago_device]

Joe is awesome! Love the episodes he’s in! 😎🤘💯

[@BakerReviews]

As soon as Kieran's blurred face popped up during the ad, I lost it... 🤣😂🤣 One of the funniest moments in the existence of this channel!

[@AdolphisMalomar]

I went to see this opening day for the first show, high on an 8th of shrooms. I get there and they tell me the first showing has been delayed for an hour, so I had to walk around the mall high as balls trying not to freak out. Finally get into the movie, two nerds in front of me in elven cloaks with a reference book and proceeded to sit there with my jaw open the and hardly a blink the whole time. It was one of the greatest moments of my life.

[@thedrip509grind]

That Adam & Eve promo looked like a late night cable ad

[@TheDanShow868]

It was snowing when i went to this with friends. We nearly slid off a bridge and died, but the car stopped right at the edge. Awesome movie. Epic!

[@User-sb6er]

Best sponsor video ever!!!!...I'll be happy tonight

[@dancivitello9080]

I'm glad I didn't know about Tolkien's additional works beyond The Hobbit before I saw Fellowship. Since I was totally naive, the movies blew me away and the excitement of watching them made me feel like a kid again. Initially I went with a buddy who had to be at work by a certain time, and the running time meant we had to leave when Boromir goes over the falls. As soon as I dropped him off at work I went right back to the theater as a fully invested fan thinking "let's destroy this ring!". So I watch the whole movie again, Boromir goes over the falls, and the movie ends like two minutes later. Had to be explained to me that it was going to be a trilogy and I had to wait years for the conclusion.

[@mr420srh1]

Adam n eve commercial had me dead asf

[@wstine79]

The council of Tony, Johanna, & Joe discuss "Fellowship" while elf Crystal, wizard Trisha, Hobbit Justin, and ranger Kieran return the "Lord of the Rings" tapes to the TWO TOWERS VIDEO.

[@Will-nq3fo]

Joe's mic fixed at 6:10

[@kingjunior7819]

Found the comment hero. Thank you sir.

[@kingkold]

Thanks

[@zacharymusgrove6174]

How much do we want to bet that this review will somehow be longer than the extended movie? 😂

[@CaptAwesumNo1Zone]

Lastly I don't know if I can remember a good night in Canada but it doesn't matter what I do I am the one thing that is no longer the most beautiful women I've seen

[@cruisesmoviereviewcorner9023]

LOVED THIS!!!! The review is almost long as the Theatrical, not complaining. I'm a fellow Patron and Tony you rock man. Joe is hilarious, I like both Hack the Movies along with Movie Dumpster. Johanna is just a treat, plus I like seeing Jessica's editor notes. The Lord of the Rings trilogy is awesome. I usually watch them around this time since they all released around Christmas....but shit 20 years.

[@idleoz21]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate Crystal's eye makeup matches her outfit? Absolutely stunning 🤘😎

[@cybersub4693]

Johanna*

[@harleyjackson3708]

The way Joe laughed after he said that N-word misdirect is what lets you know he is a man who is proud of his actions. And he should be. Because that was chef's kiss.

[@francodambolena]

Ohhh this is going to be a good one, luckily we have Tony's take on LOTR, who is really, like really, really famous.

[@waltmcgoob8505]

This might be my new favorite episode, absolutely hilarious!!! Well done Tony, Johanna, Joe and Jessica!

[@DrRoo91]

Not gonna lie guys, I really enjoyed this episode! Please review the rest of the Trilogy! :)

[@destynova4512]

That Adam and Eve ad though 😂😂😂

[@TheBakedPug2]

"If you go out--your feet will take you places . . . like the bathroom" had me dying

[@gambinogambino768]

Now that’s an ad I didn’t skip

[@Shoup1155]

Hey the people miss Newt...

[@Epitective]

Lmao, Sam says “I’ll have you, Long Shanks!” I had no idea what it meant until I read the book. When they were describing Aragorn for the first time, it was mentioned how he had such long shanks.

[@ColemanMulkerin]

Relieved that you guys actually know something about the books. Made it easy to laugh along with the criticisms. Great review!

[@jamiekriner7855]

This was BY FAR the best KZbin ad I have ever seen.

[@robk.6591]

My two favorite of the franchise are The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers. The second and third films have such great action sequences in them. But Fellowship has much better pacing and tells its story better. Imo.

[@netforce0]

yeah ive watched fellowship so much more, prolly in a vain attempt to watch all 3, but i think it might just be better overal

[@netforce0]

yeah ive watched fellowship so much more, prolly in a vain attempt to watch all 3, but i think it might just be better overal

[@ItsBobEvans]

Movie dumpster is my new favorite obsession! Also can we get more TMNT reviews with Mike lmao

[@CharlesKhan]

As something of a Dungeons & Dragons bastard, I love the Lord of the Rings. Love the movies. I loved the old cartoons too.

[@SAM-ru4vx]

The Jeremy irons movie?

[@ryanpowell2540]

I just listened to the audiobooks and I'm rewatching the extended trilogy. It's great that you guys are talking about stuff from the books here, too.

[@HeyFella]

That Freddy Got Fingered cover in the background makes me want a full review for that.

[@TaxinGigs]

I second this

[@k-wud4105]

Watching this in the cinema, in the UK, when Sean Bean picks up the sword and says it's still Sharpe the whole cinema cheered, due to Sean playing Sharpe in the TV show.

[@sonicdoomofficial9200]

Antonio, if every episode from now on was you, Joe, and Johanna, I would watch every single one. This is the lineup to rule them all!

[@andrewsilva9721]

Thanks to Tony for reminding me about that weird softcore parody I watched late at night in the living room while my parents were asleep when i was little.

[@bwillythekid8249]

Gandalfs' mind grows slow. No doubt as a result of his fondness for the halflings leaf.

[@ed_carnby3431]

Dayum that Adam and Eve ad. Johanna 😳 DAYUM GIRL P.S. Trisha needs to wear latex suit if you guys review the new Matrix.

[@rorschach36]

Although it wasn't a continuous story, The Dollars Trilogy from Sergio Leone is amazing.

[@larrykeach]

Excited to see this one tony. Good guest choices as well. Now we play the waiting game.

[@Giganisgreat666]

Love the Adam and Eve ad! Great job @Crystal!

[@orinoco500]

Great episode, specially when I was going to comment on Joe's microphone and Toni notices and fixes it. It made it the best

[@TheSackblabbath]

Fantastic episode, guys! Belly laughs along with you.

[@xludodownx]

Tony is right. Galadriel is an elf, not a Maia. She’s not an ordinary elf though. She was one of the elves to live in the presence of the two trees of Valinor and was a pupil of the Maiar. Hence why she is so powerful.

[@Eisenwulf666]

Also a Noldor which makes her a badass by default

[@bryanmalloch9222]

Joe from Movie Dumpster!!! Johanna and Tony are cool too

[@thecollectorofthings6847]

I went to hobbiton during covid time (I live in New Zealand and we've been lucky with covid stuff) but anyway it was great to go there because it wasn't busy at all.

[@Alfador42]

Also, note to Joe: Tom and Goldberry can't be Beren and Luthien since Luthien (an elf) chose to become mortal and die for Beren (a man). So both have been dead for a long time.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

This was a very fun video to watch from the ad of Adam&Eve until the very end. I didn't even realized that it was already beyond two hours

[@EpictasticJoshuaYT]

Iconic first start to one of the greatest trilogies ever. So much depth, character development, world building and brilliant competent filmmaking that I was happy to see in 2013 and watching the extended version of 2016, it's an amazing masterpiece cinematic masterclass with great directing, writing, cinematography, great use of all effects, editing and score along with the fantastic performances from everyone. So much love in the trilogy they had.

[@PawePawlak]

There was a 9h cut of LoTR on YT in which every time Sam took a step whole “If I take another step I’ll be farthest from home I’ve ever been “ scene plays. And there’s another one with “…and my axe” playing each time someone says “and”.

[@Pegwarmers]

Very exact. "We find out a bunch of people got rings"

[@RaDicAL808]

Back to the future is a great trilogy as well.

[@davyjones2994]

So is ice age

[@mr.exposition]

@@davyjones2994 huh lol ice age 2 and 3 are painfully mediocre

[@shroomlord4206]

Adam and eve ad, made me realize we need a calendar of the women of hack the movies, don't forget the fourth girl, I thinks it's minty

[@harleyjackson3708]

The Godzilla roar is a leather glove, coated in resin and dragged down the loosened strings of an orchestral double bass. Also an UNRELATED neat fact, the cool buzzing sound from Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a tuning fork being dragged down a piano string. If you think about it, that's kind of the same thing as the Godzilla sound but more high-pitch.

[@JoshuaWilkesR]

Tony mentioned vigo in the prophecy.... A man of culture I see

[@HackTheMovies]

It's a great movie

[@JoshuaWilkesR]

@@HackTheMovies you should do it

[@jeremyfredenburg3827]

Fun episode guys and FYI movie dumpster is a phenomenal podcast BTW for those uninitiated 🤘

[@mattmobilee]

It's cool hearing about the book differences

[@crush41gb]

Love the Big Fish autographed by Karl. The late Matthew McGrory. Peter Jackson ate the carrot here, threw a spear at helms deep in TT, and a pirate on the corsair ship that Legolas shoots with an arrow right after they leave the king of the Dead in the EE if I remember correctly?

[@DashingDavid]

Greatest sponsor ad I’ve ever seen. For many reasons.

[@jeremyfredenburg3827]

Good episode and like I always say great seeing one of the MD boys on episodes

[@alexpritchard7566]

Looking forward to this 1am uk

[@harleyjackson3708]

I do agree that Resident Evil was fine AND fun! Make the shirt and I'll buy it. It can be an Umbrella logo where each colored triangle is another word from the quote. "THE RESIDENT EVIL REBOOT IS FINE AND FUN" in an umbrella shape, like a red "THE," then a white "RESIDENT," and so on, Hack the movies logo in the bottom right corner. I'd buy it!

[@cicadax5886]

54:43 Idw but I find it so funny the way he says that and I've been repeating it to my friend over and over again 😂

[@TheVgrey]

Oh boy that commercial 🔥

Im here for a series of this show led by Johanna breaking down the first four Harry Potter movies. #Johannaswizardlyalcove

[@unijaggerflax2975]

One of my fave movies to watch on repeat

[@theredscum4202]

I was like 5 when this came out and my dad didn't want to take me too see it in theaters, thinking I wouldn't sit for a 3 hour movie. I remember watching it on vhs with him and it ending and being like "...where's the rest"

[@SanithDemil]

I love Joe so much for referencing Dorian Gray! A true movie fan.

[@theflail]

This review makes me happy.

[@jonathanmacias9978]

That Adam & Eve sponsore 🤣👌 lol classic!!! and ladies y'all lookin good as usual

Best sponsor ever I thought you started a new channel hack the movies after hours, movies for mom and dad

[@vincentmcbride6210]

The 4k looks amazing in my opinion.

[@JasonSmith-eu4ng]

That would be funny as hell a human goes to the shire and he is like, well I think we can all agree I’m in charge! Now bring me something!

[@adamfleetwood3980]

I’m guessing the ring makes mortals invisible either because it semi-transports them to a different realm so in a sense they’re half there and half in middle earth, option B being for pure plot convenience. Also the ring can only be destroyed in mount doom, im pretty sure it’s stated at the beginning of FOTR. Either way amazing review guys, I had so much fun watching this!

[@DatDetroitDude]

43:04 best dance moves ever haha

[@dang9059]

I was watching the Johnny neumonic review and alien 3 was being mentioned and that was 9 months ago! Could literally had a baby by now cmon 😂
