I laughed so hard when the guy was like "several guests will be going around the block just for the hell of it so I can break my own old world record for longest carpet."

[@JonathanBrindley]

I cried. These actors have had such a amzing experience making these movies and meeting fans. Tolkien brought all these people together its just so wonderful

[@TheMintyShow]

Yeah I’m so jealous 😂

[@19jacinta88]

11:08 Andy Serkis high-fiving the crowd as he runs..... I get goosebumbs. Dunno why.

[@Lannistergoldss]

am i the only one who were crying over this? like seriously i wanna hug all the cast each one

[@Riddlemt]

Yes.

[@donkey3909]

Yes you are

[@alok26k68]

I've cried my way through all the blogs so far. Such an wondrous world and seeing the work that goes into it makes me appreciate it so much more 💜

[@kamranki]

Look everyone, it's true that the LOTR trilogy (arguably one of the finest trilogies of all cinema) is better than The Hobbit trilogy but that's alright. There is no need to bash The Hobbit at all times. It is still better than most other movie trilogies out there. I have so many fond memories attached to both these projects from Peter Jackson. I thank you sir.

[@Bauglir100]

Even if you compare the books, there's no question that The Lord of the Rings was, and still is, the superior story between the two. Peter Jackson's just working with the source material that was given to him. He might have taken some liberties here and there, but the core story is still there. IMHO, we were _spoiled_ by having LOTR get adapted first. If you watch The Hobbit after you watch The Lord of the Rings, it's not going to seem as good, because how is The Hobbit ever going to top LOTR? But if you watch them in chronological order, then the quality goes up instead of down.

[@tyskbulle]

@@Bauglir100 The Hobbit trilogy feels like an expansion of the story. While the LOTR movies are much compressed. All and all, The Hobbit were never going to top LOTR. But having just read the book again. Its masterful work, even if I could wish for more practical effects.

[@TBC_Miles]

Yup. tho I did just do a fan edit of the hobbit, but it's still good. Definitely middle earth. Now itll be interesting to see the LOTR fandom tear apart the Amazon series (if they mess it up which so far looks like they will) as we've never seen the power of the LOTR community if they dont like something as both LOTR and The Hobbit were revived well.

[@wmartin94]

9:20 Goosebumps anyone?

[@trashed3050]

wmartin94 yup

[@linabalawan3225]

All these years later January 2023 now. And Still watching the Hobbit Trilogy.

[@mystiquemage8814]

I thought I was the only one weeping uncontrollably when I saw these brilliant humans who were cast and crew share their gifts with the world...

[@msrobyn82]

Peter Jackson is so humble. Cracks me up with his unbrushed hair and holey shoes. Great job to everyone involved. Wheres the beautiful Lee Pace Thranduil?

[@gilihazani247]

5:02 i just couldnt stop laugh! lol...

[@nathaliekruger8613]

[@linabalawan3225]

[@xsniperx366]

so jelous at all the people who wen to the premier in willington!!

[@matthewkretschmer7010]

Looks good seeing all the cast, that did the dwarfs, are seen together. Elijah Wood (Frodo) looks good there. Same with Andy Serkis and Sylvester Mccoy. Lovely with Philippa Boyens (Writer), Cate Blanchett (Galdadriel), Katie Jackson (Cute Young Hobbit) being there at the premiere. Great with Hugo Weaving (Elrond) being there. Why wasn't Ian Mckellen (Gandalf) and Christopher Lee (Saruman) there. Peter Jackson should've had his son, Billy Jackson, just as like he had his daughter in the movie and this premiere; in addition, including the following two parts of The Hobbit with their premieres. RIP Barry Humphries (The Great Goblin).

[@aadoogg]

[@linabalawan3225]

Wellington knows how to host a Premier. After that. Hollywood is extremely disappointing .. the latest was Wakanda Forever. But for the black Actresses and their beautiful outfits!

[@nathaliekruger8613]

Wow, I was 5 years old back then... My mother has never seen LotR or the Hobbit... My father and I watch them together like every month...😂

Thorin , Kili i Fili byli najlepsi i najładniejsi moim zdaniem , a jeśli chodzi o hobbita TO KOCHAM GO OGLĄDAĆ I CZYTAĆ , szkoda że nie ma 4 odcinka i że Thorin umarł i Kili i Fili akurat ci najlepsi chciałam bym żeby w hobbicie nie umarli ale tak czy owak naprawdę kocham hobbita a najlepsza jest 3 część : "Bitwa Pięciu Armi" Super chciałam bym żeby Thorin , Kili , Fili przeczytali ten komentarz ale najlepsze będzie w jezyku angielskim : I LOVE HOBBIT!!!
