Best Lord of the Rings Movie (Feat. Elijah Wood!) MOVIE FIGHTS!

[@scoldrozy4576]

Anyone else become a bigger fan of Elijah after watching this?

[@swordmouse745]

+Alfred Rosenberg I'd carry his babies if I could. In a completely heterosexual way of course.

[@qw0wp2]

+Alfred Rosenberg i never liked him, he is in the same league as Wil Wheaton to me. That said I like some of his younger roles, like in Radio Flyer Ps: i haven't wached this episode yet so my opinion may change

[@MrClaike7]

+Orion Pax did it?

[@hurlicane56]

+Alfred Rosenberg Yes! Please Screen Junkies, bring him back soon!

[@qw0wp2]

Raxa Cory It did actually, he was a great contestant and seemed like a good guy. I cant say what movie turned me off to the actor originally, I just know it was prior to lotr films

[@6dark6alex6]

Elijah Wood is probably the most enjoyable guest that's been on this show. He made it seem so much more light-hearted and pleasant

[@TheZwaxor]

"Star Wars would kill Sean Bean if they had the chance." Greatest fkn quote right there.

[@LeahJames616]

Two things: 1)I wish they chose questions that weren't associated with Elijah (Kinda awkward) 2)I hope Elijah meant it when he said he'd loved to come back. (He was so refreshing)

[@Vebinz]

+Leah James I doubt he will. He seemed slightly miffed towards the end.

[@kingkingf]

+Leah James it would have been so funny if he had said: And that's why I sucked in Radio Flyer...

[@kingkingf]

+Talga Vassternich I can't be the only one who thinks that Mundy is just a fat stupid douchebag. he looks like and kind of acts like the kind of guy who mocks on nerds^^

[@BadPennyFilms]

+Leah James It's so comforting to see these other replies here from the likes of kingking and Talga... I pretty much can't stand Nick Mundy, I am continually utterly baffled that apparently so much of the audience seems to have such love for him. This fight here (and mind you I'm not even finished it yet), this is like a perfectly fitting example of why he's so annoying. He actually seems sort of troll-ish, now I think about it. He so often comes up with absolutely preposterous, out of left field picks or arguments for things, but then even his usual style and attitude of his argument making I find so tiring. And then the perfect cherry on top of this, that the dude is sincerely as massive a fan of wrestling as he is. *sigh*... yes, of course he is...

[@LeahJames616]

+BadPennyFilms I mean, I agree with you ( I would have used nicer words). But I honestly believe that when Nick is there, it's because everyone else was busy. And their all good friends and don't wanna exclude him. Whenever I see Nick on the show I never expect him to win he's just there for laughs. For me anyway. But don't be too hard on him. He did help create the show.

[@capenati]

"Lord of the Rings wouldn't exist without Star Wars" WTF?

[@m3racer123]

+capenati Lol! It would be better to say that the LOTR films wouldn't be the same without Star Wars, since SW influenced all subsequent Fantasy/Sci-Fi films.

[@danielhawkins4317]

+lufctopgearmad I think he was trying to imply that but definitely failed. Plus Elijah brought up that Lucas meant to direct LOTR anyway, so that was a death-blow.

[@Achmeron]

+capenati Do you know The Lord of the Rings ORIGINAL book trilogy was published in the 1950s, right? Two decades before George Lucas' Star Wars

[@huxlerledomas2784]

Yeah the books were made before but it's the movies that were apparently influenced by Star Wars. I don't know if it's true or not I just heard right now.

[@TurtleLord44]

Wow, first Max Landis and now Elijah Wood... I think we've learned that having movie-fanatic celebrities on Movie Fights leads to amazing episodes!

[@danielstrong3703]

+TechJacket Agreed. I respect Dan (amazing at intelligently debating for things without fan glasses on), and I respect Alicia, but up until recently every other guest's arguments usually make me cringe. Having writers, actors, and people who really know the business from a perspective other than fandom is far more interesting to hear.

[@Mateo-nk7dl]

Yea Elijah and max landis worked together on the death and return of superman short movie,maybe that's how they were able to get them one after the other.

[@iancd9171]

I agree on the being a fan of Elijah part, but I thought Max Landis was actually great. He had some of the best arguments I've seen on Movie Fights, and I didn't feel like he was pretentious, he was just very forward and blunt sometimes.

[@777theneighborofthebeast9]

Elijah is kewl

[@CountOrlok22]

I like that unlike so many fanboys, Elijah is capable of dropping some serious cultural historical facts and yet he's still able to geek out and be a fan. That's so refreshing to see when most fan debates about movies, shows, and comics, consist of biased opinions and arguments lacking in-depth knowledge. You should have had him defend "The Hobbit" movies. That would have been entertaining!

[@MestariDuff]

Elijah Wood is so well spoken and knowledgeable. Plus, he makes a ton of solid and valid points throughout his comments. I also agree with him on his choice as to what is the best LOTR movie in the trilogy. Fellowship was just the best!

Imagine this: Crimson Peak comes out next month, so Guillermo del Toro makes an appearance in Movie fights, he's a huge nerd and a walking movie encycopedia, that could be fucking epic. Elijah Wood was incredible, I love how passionate he is about movies, especially horror. Besides he has a great company that have been producing good films, one of them being the remarkable A Girl Walk Home Alone at Night.

[@Hurstcules]

I would love that, plus I think it would be cool to get some older fighters that bring different tastes and movie knowledge.

+Stolen. his accent with nick mundy's... -stupid- sometimes incoherent speaking would be great

[@_CoasterNinja]

+The Wilfred One of the best episodes ever. Nick was on fire and Dan was even keeled and had great arguments as always. I wish every episode of Movies Fights was like this, more laid back, not too competitive and very funny. And yes, bring on Guillermo!

[@TheBuddsO]

This is probably my favorite episode. Elijah is so eloquent and knowledgable! Seeing him and Dan interact was adorable, they seem to have a lot in common. I could see them being best friends talking about their favorite movies. Please have him come back!

[@lulluedge9457]

Imagine how good this would've been without the pleb Mundy in it. You have two very well spoken, bright people making great arguments, a great judge and and even betteer fact-checker and THEN this absolute trainwreck dragging it all down. Nick Mundy is the Jar-Jar Bings of Moviefights.

[@clintbandura9018]

Nick mundy is the fucking worst. I was so excited for this episode until I saw that fat fucker

[@jackdavids2723]

[@SolarArmadillo]

+MrJedabak It would be kind of weird if he was all like "my movie franchise is the best."

[@jordanastro4694]

Just because he was in the movie, doesn't necessarily mean he'll defend it all the time. He got his pay checks over ten years ago.

[@maxkogan3785]

Two arguments that could've helped Andy with his Two Towers argument: 1. You can see how the rings starts to corrupt Frodo slowly, whereas in the first movie, he would only experience the occasional hypnosis from carrying the ring too long and in the third movie, you only see the result of the ring's corruption and influence over Frodo. 2. You can see the personal struggle between good and evil in Smeagle/Golem, as his good side fights to be free from his evil side, whereas in the first movie, it's mainly Golem and in the third movie, Golem had regained his influence over Smeagle(which you see happening in the second film).

[@DrAndyShick]

+Max Kogan you mean Nick?

[@lukess.s]

Andy is the host

[@maxkogan3785]

Ahh, I always confuse the two.

[@capawe5]

+Max Kogan Also, in the Two Towers you can see Frodo realize that there is no going back for him, that the darkness and corruption in him will not go away and his life as he new it was over and the reason he wants to trust Gollum so much is because he thinks that by finding redemption in Gollum there is still hope in himself.

[@kendawgthemasterdude]

He didn't even mention the Ents attacking Isengard

[@TheMinarus]

That was the best...Most relevant...Most exciting..Most polite...fairest movie fight ever....I didn't know Elijah Wood was SOOOO AWSOME

[@Davemanz]

Elijah Wood seems like the most well-balanced, friendly, sincere celebrity imaginable, especially as a former child star.

[@etetepete]

Frodo rocked in LOTR 1, best movie of the triology.

[@DeRockMedia]

+etetepete agreed. It was hard for me to pick Fellow vs Two Towers (both my favs in the trilogy).. Helms deep is my all time fav battle scene, but aside that the story had some slow and dragged out spots. Nothing ever felt slow in Fellowship to me

[@H311fi5h]

Until now I didn't really have an opinion about Elijah Wood. To me he was just the guy who played Frodo, and that was it. Now I want to go watch all his movies. He seems to be a really cool guy.

[@MsKassandraKotaku]

+H311fi5h Dude, his early movies are really good. I hope you do watch some more of his movies! The Good Son is still one of my favorite movies and in my opinion, many of his other films are really underrated.

[@justaguyyy]

Lord of The Rings is (To me) the best fantasy franchise out of all of the choices. The atmosphere, the approach, the lore and the realism. All of it put together blows Star Wars out of the water.

[@dfkfgjfg]

I understand that everyone has their own opinion but you have to admit that Game of Thrones can match up to Lord of the Rings because it is almost like a modern reimagining that feels more real yet you can love both however, Star Wars has always felt so cheesy and the characters are so cliched.

[@justaguyyy]

Tyrion Lannister Yes the political approach that GoT has to it is amazing yet I feel that LoTR has a more adventurous side to it, while also withholding the political standard. And plus I factor my choice a lot on lore/history and compared to GoT, Star Wars, Star Trek and Harry Potter the only one that comes close is Star Trek. But yes all in all Game of Thrones is a beautiful told story and a great world in general. Even though I prefer the show more than the books (Which you wont hear much)

[@whodatninja439]

Season 6 was basic fan fiction and the normies ate it up.

[@jmorgan3977]

Why is level of realism an aspect in arguing the best FANTASY franchise? Fantasy is fantasy, doesn't need a bit of realism. Just sayin.

[@zztopz7090]

John Morgan It has fantasy themes but it could easily be a serious movie without the orcs and elves. In fact, it's based off the first world war.

This was one of the most fun episodes of Movie Fights to date. Elijah was a great guest star and it was funny seeing the screen junkies be a little star struck.

Damn Nick has balls... I would never dream of referring to Frodo as a "nine-fingered pansy" in the presence of Elijah Wood.

Literally, Elijah screeching "IT'S ABOUT CHRISTMAS!" makes me laugh everytime I replay it XD

[@AfsalDjearam]

Elijah really surprised me. He definitely knows his stuff and - maybe this makes him a bad fighter in some people's eyes but- he's very honest and doesn't forsake his true opinions for the sake of winning the fight. A true sport.

[@tayomecanized]

It’s been 6 years… and I still come back to just watch Elijah wood lose it when the other guy says “it’s about Christmas” 🤣

Truly a great moment in sports!

+A Dyers You're talkin' crazy, man. Frodo was played by The Rock and they look nothing alike.

[@thomasmountford2651]

Lol no you're stupid that's ridiculous

[@TheOneWithTheManyZs]

Nick's argument about high Pip was just superb. "It's Pip. Pip loves drugs. This Dude is gonna get high as shit!" xDDD Also, I love how it was always kinda like Dan vs. Elijah with serious arguments and then Nick coming in with some hilariously insane stuff.

[@kaliclinch7433]

Yes and also because like Elijah said the ring is like a drug if it is a drug then Pip will be ready to kill for those drugs especially if he's already high

[@JA-ug7wq]

I think he's confusing pipeweed with bath salts.

[@Getliftin1408]

don't normally watch these because of their length but this was just so entertaining that i couldn't stop. Elijah must come back on the show it was really refreshing and funny

[@MrPhantom95]

Why not invite Elijah Wood everytime and just talk movies? I could watch this all day!

[@Prindle4016]

This was my favorite episode of movie fights

[@Prindle4016]

[@syndddd]

+Jacob Prindle Yup agreed! Favorite episode, and Elijah Wood is my favorite fighter so far! He's so well-spoken, enthusiastic and nice! Hope they'll bring him back

[@jamesitoahalf-japaneseguy5526]

I would have picked Samwise to win the brawl. He's deadly with a sword. Kills orcs. Wounds a giant spider, and fights off Gollum. Plus, he has the most passion when he fights.

[@BarLan2000]

+James Ito My thoughts exactly. Sam basically carries Frodo across the world.

[@TheGr8N8King]

ZDefinitely between Sam or Bilbo. I'd say Sam with the slight edge though

[@garyv2498]

+James Ito When I first heard the question my first pick would have been Bilbo, for many of the same reasons Elijah changed his pick.... and I wonder who he was going with before he changed?

[@jamesitoahalf-japaneseguy5526]

Hmmmmm...

[@ImmaKakarot1]

+James Ito Don't forget his DEADLY frying pan skills.

[@BillyCobbOfficial]

[@GeoD007]

Thanks for bringing I'm Elijah Wood! He should totally return! Had a blast watching this episode! :)

[@GeoD007]

Alicia should return! Always a blast watching her on the show. Would've loved to see how she answered some of the questions.

[@wombatjo3022]

Everyone is not "A fan of Star Wars" Just putting it out there that you can be a proud geek and not be a blind follower. I saw Star Wars when it first came out and thought it was amazing for the time. Empire is a good middle, Return is basically the first movie with teddy bears. Then you have the prequels. So 2 good movies out of 6. Anyone else out there or am I truly alone?

[@IMmephiles]

+Wombat JO Empire is much more than good. Everything else I agree with.

[@debrimaybar2447]

+Wombat JO I am a big fan of Star Wars as a phenomenon but I don't think they are the all time greats as they are made out to be, I also don't agree with Indiana Jones. Don't get me wrong I think they are good movies, I own them on Blu-Ray, but for me they are not the end all be all. Maybe I have a problem with nazis as the bad guy, huh?

[@ArthurKnight1899]

+Debrim Aybar "problem with nazis as bad guys" lol!!

[@DeRockMedia]

+Hayley S I think the only problem with Max Landis is that they didn't have the courage to stop him and say "look, try to be concise in your arguments, will you?". So out of politeness he spent, I think, 40 minutes talking about a superman fanfic. That was annoying =/

[@trevorthornley8835]

"Star wars brings everyone together" ......that one didn't age quite so well.

[@jcb3393]

46:27 - watching "Sixth Sense" again, you see that he, at first, is fearful of Bruce Willis's character, not because he thinks his mom hired someone to try to help him, but because he knows what he really is. I think it was brilliant the way both possibilities played out, but he warms up to him, enabling him to do likewise for others at the end.

[@AGPerry-go3xk]

Just to be perfectly honest, I think Elijah Wood is one of the best actors I've seen to date. Most of his acting, I think, really relies very much on his eyes. He's able to convey extreme emotions with them. I think that's why he eyes are talked about so much. And they are gorgeous.

[@xxninjaxx1981]

Elijah won his fellow ship fight even though I think that Return of the king is the best in the series Elijah gave the best reasons as to why he thought tfotr was the best.

[@AgentDerevko]

1 - What's the funniest horror movie? Housebound 2 - What's the best fantasy franchise of all-time? The lord of the rings (original trilogy) 3 - What Hobbit would win in a battle royale for the One Ring? Sam he got them pots and pans :P 4 - Best Lord of the Rings movie? This is hard cause I consider it all just one long story but I'll say the third 5 - Best performance by a kid in a movie? Lindsay Lohan in The Parent Trap. She convinced us all for years that she really had a twin. 6 - Watch one movie for all of eternity - MATILDA

[@gusfury4700]

+Pokemontas om fucking god i was thinking on the same answer you are the love of my life

[@UniteForgetLeftRight]

+Pokemontas I was wondering why nobody picked Sam, he's bigger than the rest, he carried Frodo up mount Doom, killed 2-3 orcs.and took on that giant spider and WON!!!

[@elvenator]

+Pokemontas Housebound is great, good call. I'd also put Tucker & Dale vs. Evil on that short list, though.

[@dmitryk9499]

+Pokemontas oh man. Matilda scared the shit out of me.

[@hemansh]

for the eternity question I would have chosen Raid 2. The reason being that the first few times you watch it, you just know there are punches and kicks flying. then you noticing how they do it. you notice the side characters too after sometime. then you need rest of the eternity to train and become like them.

[@marikotrue3488]

Best Movie Fights that I have seen. Elijah Wood is articulate and charismatic. It was very interesting to see him debate (and give points to the other side) about movies that are iconic, beloved and major part of Elijah Wood's life.

[@Scarecrow545]

They completely forgot to mention how absolutely stunning the worldbuilding in Fellowship was. Nowhere else did you get a sense of the absolutely MASSIVE scale of the world they were in, from seeing the vastness of Moria, to the two giant statues guarding the river, to the homely quirkiness of the Shire and the sort of darker aspect of that in Bree, to the mystique of Lothlorien, et al. The other two had some moments of the same caliber, eg riding into Minas Tirith, lighting of the beacons, Minas Morgul blowing its top, the end shot of The Two Towers (which has to be my favorite standalone shot in any movie), etc, but never quite as perfect or as many.

[@jherroddaniels1664]

That's why I think Fellowship is my favorite. I love them all of course

[@forrestaitken764]

I found it so ironic when Elijah Wood picked Game of Thrones who stars none then Boromir. Great very humble dude not full of himself for not picking his film. I loved this episode, but you should've brought in Sean Astin , Billy and Dom that would be great

[@greenmetalbox1719]

please bring Elijah back. This was one of the best movie fights!

[@FreakieFan]

Fellowship is indeed the best LotR. Elijah has the same opinion as me :)

[@Ripolt]

+FreakieFan It's still my favorite movie. I just prefer the adventurous vibe the first film gives off to the more epic scale of the last two. Same with the books also, Id love to see the scene with Tom Bombadill and the Barrow Whights on screen though I'd rather they leave the TLOTR alone and don't reboot it. The actors fit their roles perfectly, the only way I'd be happy seeing a new take on it would be a TV show that covers more of the book than the movies did.

[@FreakieFan]

Ripolt Totally agree with you, i prefer The Fellowship over the last 2, by a long shot IMO :P And who the hell is trying to reboot tLotR? Those movies cant be rebooted and should be left alone. It cant be surpassed

[@mountaindewslave]

+Lt. Col. Frank Slade 100% agree. the beauty and mystery of the first film is like perfect. you see a lot but what you don't see is almost more valuable. things like Gandalf running to the white city to read text about the ancient ring, the mysterious Balrog demon in Moria, how gorgeous and (oddly?) relatable and homely the Shire is I feel like Fellowship is by far the most complete film. the Two Towers ends with a bit of a cliffhanger (i.e. 'the war for Middle Earth now begins'), and The Return of the King debatably has some moments that went wrong from the books (the men of the mountain ghosts ehhh). probably the biggest thing in The Fellowship of the Ring's favor (IMO) is the insanely well done pacing and build up. by the time you get to Rivendel (or later Moria) the viewer feels like they've actually journeyed around Middle Earth some the personal experience was less there in the other films. also I would argue the intro to The Fellowship with Cate Blanchett narrating is possibly one of the best intros in film of all time

[@FreakieFan]

Derek Woods I agree with you completely, tLotR is one of my all time favorite films (i do count them as one :p and i love all of them, but i prefer Fellowship )

[@sonicboom20078]

Nick got absolutely destroyed by Elijah and Dan.

[@narutardednerd]

+yung letti To be fair, they sort of teamed up on him. They were too likeminded not to buddy up.

[@sonicboom20078]

+narutardednerd They buddied up against him because Nick was basically a fish in a shark tank, his arguments were extremely poor most of the time, and Dan and Elijah know how to debate. You can even tell just by their mannerisms and the way they were talking.

[@richardsuplee8137]

+narutardednerd He really only beat 2 winnable answers. The Two Towers (and there he had to pick 1 of three) and Radio Flyer. The other ones were nearly joke answers. Arguably Die Hard was legit

[@jackhall1836]

I honestly sided with nick on a majority of the arguments. Well his arguments suck but his answers were good

[@richardsuplee8137]

Perfectly said Ezra. Mundy Fights, while entertaining, proves why he always loses. He picked his favorite insane answer and it seems like he either expects the same treatment or just doesn't care.

[@mackan271]

Bring Elijah back please! This is one of my favorite movie fights so far. Dan and Elijah were so evenly matched and his knowledge of movies were fay beyond what I expected.

[@mattbritzius570]

Merry or Pippin would win the battle royale, because they drank the ent draught and grew into XL hobbits.

[@mattbritzius570]

DutchDread The mithril would definitely confer an advantage, if they were armed. If it was hand to hand combat, different story. Plus, Merry and Pippin both spent more time learning to fight and fighting than Frodo (Merry with Rohan and Pippin with Gondor).

[@peanutgallery123]

+Yung Brizzy But Gollum/Smeagol can still bite your finger off - he doesn't need to be drunk or have weapons to be dangerous. Not to mention his ability to scale walls, camouflage, see in the dark and hunt fish with his bear hands. In the book, Gollum killed massive goblins/dwarves on his own in - what's to stop him from killing a few softy halflings?

[@Serch_YB27]

I'm pretty sure Tom Bombadil is not a hobbit.

[@jonsaw.490]

No he's not. Also I don't think he would win, because Tom Bombadil is (as I see it) a lot like Sam, the ring doesn't affect him as much because there's a lot of other things he cherishes more than power. So I think finally it comes down to Frodo and Smeagol, because the ring has mainly affected these two and is a strong motivator, the most important factor in this battle imo. And I do think Gollum would win, unless he makes a mistake. Because angry Frodo under the influence of the ring is just the kind of person who needs just one mistake to take advantage of and finish you (after all, he is way stronger than he thinks he is - in every sense of the term). So I pretty much agree with everything they say^^

[@BlueWoWTaylan]

Merry after Rohan would win.

[@TehFrenchy29]

I cannot believe I haven't seen this episode until today. The laughs kept coming, the panel was terrific, the arguments were consistently on point without becoming overbearing, and Elijah Wood may very well be more entertaining *talking about* movies than in them--a very impressive feat in and of itself. I would love to see Elijah back on Movie Fights because this is easily one of the best fights the series has produced, and he is quite possibly a contender for Dan's title. Even Dan mentioned he felt as though he was fighting himself.

[@Crichjo32]

Not only does Elijah Woods seem really pleasant and down to earth, but he is also very clever and articulate. The same can't be said for a lot of other Hollywood actors.

[@Melquiades_]

It’s funny because every time I revisit the LOTR trilogy my love and appreciation for Fellowship grows and now I have to say it is my favorite film of the 3 though it’s hard to choose which one is the best
