They hold them off but are confronted by Durin's Bane: a Balrog residing within the mines. While the others escape, Gandalf fends off the Balrog and casts it into a vast chasm, but the Balrog drags Gandalf down into the darkness with him.

I feel the same. But tbh Aragorns reaction always hits me. Viggo acted his ass of right there. You can see the mix of both pain and disbelief that he just watched one of the most powerful and compassionate "man" hes ever met die right in front of him and he couldnt do anything because he couldnt risk Frodo running out there and getting shot by an arrow since he was the only one with the willpower to carry the ring. That face always gets me.

After all the tears of losing Gandalf in FOTR it would be so nice to see a group reaction of his return as Gandalf The White in TTT.

[@shanem4703]

It always cracks me up how everyone is wondering why they arent rushing to help him because they've forgotten the MASSIVE army of orcs that had them surrounded and was watching in the background as that fight played out. The flurry of arrow whistles should be a stark reminder even in that moment.

[@thomaschaumeil3878]

or the fact that they forget that Frodo is the ring-bearer and helloooooooo what is going to happen if Frodo died or the ring is lost in Moria? What Boromir did here was the good and best decision ever made.

[@ivaneames4354]

Not forgetting that since part of the bridge had collapsed, the part they would be running onto would also be severely weakened and could collapse under them at any second.

[@Murdo2112]

Also, when the balrog is swinging the whip, you get a shot over Frodo's shoulder, showing just how far away they are. With the arrows skipping off the stones around Aragorn, it'd be suicide to have run all that way back. But considering how common the confusion is, it could probably have been edited better, to make the situation clear.

[@angelicupstart23]

Even without the orcs Gandalf specifically says “this foe is beyond any of you”. If they tried to help it’d be a bunch a fried fellowship members

[@wilder11]

Reactors are sometimes the dumbest people on the internet. It makes for fun content at times, but viewer comprehension isn't their strong suit. XD

[@GuukanKitsune]

Gandalf's speech to the Balrog is all the more awesome when you've read the Sillmarillion. "You CANNOT pass!" ('Back off, chump, I'm better than you!') "I am a Servant of the Secret Fire" ('I am a Maiar just like you, I'm already your match.') " Wielder of the Flame of Anor!" ("I also command Narya, the Great Ring of Fire. So I'm your BETTER.") "Dark fire will NOT avail you, Flame of Udun!" ("Your weak pitiful flame is not enough to overcome me and the Great Ring together, servant of Morgoth!") "Go back to the shadow!" ("Just go home, this fight's already over!") "You SHALL NOT PASS." ("I might perish fighting you. You WILL perish fighting me. The one thing you will not do, is pass this bridge.")

[@GreyhawkTheAngry]

You're missing a key part of the meaning of his speech: "I am a Servant of the Secret Fire", The Secret Fire = The Flame Imperishable. Gandalf was identifying himself as a Maia (maiar is plural btw) who was acting under the authority of Eru Ilúvatar. Literally God. And at the risk of being nitpicky, while its a somewhat popular theory, the part of the Flame of Anor being Narya isn't definitive, especially in the light of the fact that none of the Three Rings are weapons.

[@GuukanKitsune]

@@GreyhawkTheAngry 'Flame of Anor' is one of the nicknames for Narya, because of its ability to repel evil creatures/magics similarly to the light of the sun. (a power Gandalf DEMONSTRATES during this fight) Also I MENTIONED 'Servant of the Secret Fire' and how it means he is identifying itself as Maia. A said 'A Maiar' as in 'One of the Maiar' although perhaps admittedly that's not rightly worded.

[@lukasnightmare]

​@@GuukanKitsunenot true since this battle was written by Tolkien when he had the idea of sending the three rings across the sea. The flame of Anor is a reference to the sun, the fruit from the trees of Valinor.

[@Iluvantir]

@@lukasnightmare Agreed - The Flame or Anor refers to the Sun, specifically to the Maia, Arien (second greatest of all the Maiar) who drives the chariot of the Sun across the sky... who just so happens to be one of Olorin's best mates. Olorin is Gandalf, btw. His Maia name. Narya gave assistance to Gandalf in dealing with fire, but itself was never a weapon. None of the Rings of Power were created as such, all made by the hands of Elves (with all but the Greatest Three made with Sauron's touch). Only the "One" was wholly made by Sauron alone... and even that wasn't a weapon. It was simply a means of control and domination. Narya could "enkindle" hope and resilience, preserve from the effects of Time, fend off the weariness of Time, etc. Gandalf's use of "fire magic" (shown far more in the books) is bolstered by the Narya, but is entirely due to his nature as a Maia aligned with light and fire, who served Manwe, Varda, Irmo, and others of the Valar before being sent to Middle Earth.

[@genghisgalahad8465]

He should have explained it exactly this way: Gandalf said calmly.

[@angelicupstart23]

Fun fact, Gandalf and the Balrog are basically cousins! Both are of the Maiar race, as is Sauron, but Morgoth (Sauron’s boss) twisted the evil Maiar into demons wreathed in fire and darkness.

I wish that had put this in the film; The dark figure streaming with fire raced towards them. The orcs yelled and poured over the stone gangways. Then Boromir raised his horn and blew. Loud the challenge rang and bellowed, like the shout of many throats under the cavernous roof. For a moment the orcs quailed and the fiery shadow halted. Then the echoes died as suddenly as a flame blown out by a dark wind, and the enemy advanced again. (In case you didn't realize Boromir blew a blast so loud & strong he made a literal demon go "wtf...did he...he really just challenged me?!")

Because lotr was so bold, so powerful, so bleak, so tragic, yet so noble and so tenacious that it spoke for itself and earned it's place. It's acclaimed to be one of the original building blocks to modern fantasy as we know it, and rightfully so.

[@AnalyticalHeart]

Brief and generalized context to Gandalf's "Servant of the secret fire," Also, Gandalf and the Balrog are essentially the same beings they just took on different forms. 1. Wielder of the flame of Anor alludes to the Valar and the Eru (God the creator) Basically, no flame is greater than the creator's. 2. Flame of Udun refers to Morgoth (Sauron's master and the fallen Maiar).

[@BigBWolf90]

Melkor/Morgoth was a member of the Valar not a Maia

[@JustaGuy2.0]

What many don't understand is that two characters, besides Boromir, die in the 1st movie. Gandalf and Frodo. Gandalf returns as Gandalf the white, a spirit of sorts; and Frodo started to die the moment he put the ring on his finger. The ending of the 3d movie, the boat ride of Gandalf and Frodo, symbolizes death, that's why Frodo say "you cannot follow" and that is why everyone is crying, because they know.

[@georgearaujo6532]

I think all the reactors were only watching this demon chasing them. It's like everybody were so engrossed with the majestic Balrog that they forgot about the spear weilding actual villians- the Orcs, who were hiding in the shadows from the Balrog "with spears". Soon after Galdalf fell they were bombarded by spears from every side. This is the very reason Aragon and others couldn't approach and help Gandalf climb back. Even Gandalf didn't want them to save him.

Saw it _four_ times in theaters when it came out, never gone that nuts for a movie before or since, though I came close with the other two in the trilogy.

[@ryanhampson673]

Gandalf is essential an angel but he has to operate by a code. He’s not allowed to use his powers to aid men and other mortals, he can only use his wisdom. The Balrog is an ancient magical beast and so he’s allowed to use his magic to counter it.

[@CarlWidegrip]

I know it’s not communicated super clearly in the moment, but they would’ve been kebab’d by arrows the moment they tried moving out to help Gandalf.

[@DamonNomad82]

100th comment! The interesting thing going on in this scene is that Gandalf and the Balrog are sort of like old schoolmates, in a manner of speaking. Both were present and participating during the Song of Creation at the beginning of the world, though Gandalf remained true to the vision of Illuvitar (the God of Tolkien's universe) while the Balrog sided with Melkor. While there's no evidence that they were ever friends, they might be said to have known each other in passing, at least. Despite their very different appearances (and size), they are good and evil versions of the same order of being (Maiar).

[@Jokerstylez1995]

The bridge is a cave thong 😂 I spit out my drink! 😂

[@RGSRinc]

As a testament to just how wonderful the script, direction, and acting this crew had, the scene on the mountainside, after Gandalf fell? That was one of the first days of filming for the movie. Just amazing.

[@jacobestrada5932]

Think about it from Gandalf's perspective. He's already told them to go ahead. He's literally risking his life so that they at least have a chance to escape. He knows in a fair fight, he can't win, especially in that environment, so he's already willing to die. When he catches the ledge before he falls, he sees all of them watching him. He's probably surprised and even a little pissed off that they didn't go on ahead like he wanted them to. Which is why he calls them fools for watching the fight.

The thing people dont seem to realise is the reason they stop frodo from helping is because the bridge has just crumbled, if frodo ran out onto it, theres a good chance it could crumble even more. Saving gandalf was literally impossible.

[@hironagamaki9744]

just watched the fellowship again and manage to see through which areas are CG/ Blue screen and all that. but i realize that despite the technology and graphic being over 20 years old the Balrog still looks and feels very real even by today standards. seriously in blu-ray and checking frame by frame the CGI is better than some of today's CGI, i know its CGI but the texture , the smoke, the lighting, the weight if the movements it feels like it really is there.

[@cfennn]

That's technically Gandalf's sibling, balrogs were once maiar (same as gandalf) that were corrupted by Morgoth who Sauron first served

[@aaronburdon221]

While the scene is extremely iconic and cinematic, a lot of people don't understand the context in the greater legendarium and the impact this fight actually had. Tolkien hated this, but i'll put it into Christian parlance to make it easier to understand for the person who is not "in the know" about Tolkien's works. This fight would be like if Gabriel (the angel) fought with Mephistopheles (One of Lucifer's Lieutenants). While they are not the leaders of their respective sides so to speak, they are EXTREMELY strong and influential members of their sides.

[@badluck9749]

[@BigBWolf90]

It's more that they have no time to be standing there watching, because there are hordes of goblins chasing them, and those goblins start coming out of hiding as soon as Gandalf and the Balrog are both gone.

[@caseyb4425]

The weight of Frodo's responsibilities increases tenfold upon Gandalf's "death". Gandalf had a vision of his death and he knew when Frodo chose to go through the mountain, instead of continuing to go around it, that his death was imminent. The stricken look on Frodo's face as they stood grieving showed that he realized Gandalf knew how that choice would seal his fate even before they took one step into the mountain.

[@edcliffe2988]

I don't think any of these reviewers read the books. Astonishing. It does make their reactions so very wonderful.

[@imaginarycorgi7312]

The only, and I mean ONLY thing wrong with this trilogy is the failure to convey that Gandalf was incapable of being rescued as he hung on (I know the difference from the book). I feel all it needed was a CGI crack spreading on the bridge as he held as it would have conveyed they could not risk sending another fellowship member to their deaths. Maybe have the goblins start firing arrows early?

[@GreyhawkTheAngry]

You mean the arrows being shot at them from the wasn't enough for you? Or the fact that the bridge had already broken in half any one it basic reasoning skills would know that the rest of it would go at any second, which with the aforementioned orc arrows made a rescue untenable?
