I never understood how people could get emotional watching things like this but as I've got older I've come to understand why a little better.. The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings movies get me emotional. They're masterpieces. I understand they're adaptions but I grew up with the visuals for LotR and I'm almost certain it's one of the main things that has given me my deep love for fantasy. The music, the scenery, costumes.. Absolutely everything, sounds and feels perfect and because of that I feel something different to nostalgia every time I'm reminded of these two trilogy

[@safetydoggo2721]

Grim Daddy Dog the hobbit isn’t as good as lotr though....by a long shot...

[@Gulliedoutbigup]

[@deanazcoolzi4382]

Watching those early day sets get destroyed (for lotr) 😭 tragic

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

A big part of non Hobbiton sets are green screen and matte paintings. A huge chunk of Rivendell's background is a matte painting. Minas Tirith is either a miniature model, a digital model, or a jumbled set designed to accommodate any kind of shot without seeming repetitive. Tl;dr, it would be more expensive than you think because you would have to actually build the parts that were brought in digitally.

[@Aramoonstaz]

Also, I believe the sets are now still currently being used for the new Amazon LOTR series that will come out hopefully by next year

actually I see alot of rushing and trying to meet deadlines, though some good came from the movies like rebuilding the hobbiton set with actual permanent materials

[@Syklonus]

@@sonicfreak04 See, that's what I don't get. Jackson came on late to the project, he admits that he winged a lot of it and that much of the production was rushed, yet he still made the decision to make three very long and bloated films instead of just one simple little character piece. It's like he wanted to give himself more problems, and to me it was pointless becasue half the stuff in these films was either just made up for the sake of it or mined from the appendixes just to fatten out the runtime. The Hobbit was a very short and very modest book which would have worked wonderfully as just a small, understated little adventure film, but they had to try and turn it into some sort of massive epic. The result is a murky narrative and some really ropy CGI effects and makeup. They're still very watchable, but 70% of the stuff in here just isn't needed.

Peter didn't want to do this. Studio started the Hobbit independently, with another director, which backed off when he realized what he was getting into, 2 years into pre-production. Peter was supposed to be an consultant at most, but when the other guy left, he was forced to step in to save the movie. I'm amazed he was able to save it to the extent he did, but is obvious it doesn't raise to the level of LOTR.

+Peel David Great movies are The Lord of the Rings films. The Hobbit films are far from great. Trust me, I hate to say this, but The Hobbit really can't be considered "great". Enjoyable on a subjective level, but not "great" on an objective level. Analyze the technical aspects, so including all that has to do with the narrative, the handling of the characters and all that, and you'll find dozens of flaws. The Lord of the Rings trilogy was, and is, and will always be a true masterpiece, but The Hobbit is hardly even a shade of that.

[@ozsfi]

@@RecklessDemonX It might be possible to say that the difference between the trilogies is like between LOTR and the Hobbit. When I first read the book (in translation), it felt like a children's book, and simpler than Harry Potter. So the result would not be the same, the inspiration could not be the same. Yet the acting is great, the scenery as wonderful. Good music, the same artists, great wardrobe. The plot cannot be as interesting but there are some interesting characters. I am probably too simple to be aware of the flaws, maybe many are. When I watched the movies, I was not as enthralled, for sure, but still impressed with all the craft that went into tt.

This behind the scenes are amazing. Creating memories, catch it on film - on how each actor felt about their training and role. It is 2021, with the pandemic, world isolation I am watching epic movies by Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit) and never get tired of watching it. The best battle - The Battle of the Five Armies still gives me goosebumps. THANK YOU!

5:36 Noob 23:24 Noobs I once yelled "Name the dwarves from the Hobbit" in public, some looks at me like "is he a wierdo?" but others yelled all the names back.

Every single one of them is adorable and I love them all so much

[@DalyahArani]

Wow, now i know why it takes up to two years to make movies like this or LOTR. I never thought about how much work is behind all this and how many people are needed for such a movie production. And btw... New Zealand is sooo awesome and has some of the most beautiful landscapes i've ever seen...

[@mikephantom262]

This is gold I mean, this is precious

[@DavidAMarin]

Beautiful. It's a thrill seeing how these things were made possible, witnessing Tolkienesque scenes and landscapes as they are brought to life and getting to "peek over Peter's shoulder" as far as the next movie is concerned. Also, dwarves in barrels. You just gotta love these guys, eh?

Middle earth- best franchise ever

This is the movie which ll be remembered for ages.

The actors who are playing the dwarfs really have a dwarf personality

[@RambinoYT]

When John aKa Gimli came and visited, that was so amazing! What a guy for visiting!

[@Blondie42]

While I love the Dwarves and their armor/weapons, the elves and every thing about them are my absolute favorite. 🧝‍♀️🧝🧝‍♂️ Gimli stopping by for a visit is pure gold, including him hugging his father. They practically were packing half the population of New Zealand out into the wilderness by 45:00 for the on location shots.

[@Daystar311]

Absolutely incredible. They put an amazing amount of energy, hard work, creativity and attention to detail into these movies. Very special.

26:00 "I think when people see the beards, beards are gonna come back in big time..." Dude nailed it!

[@Tawadeb]

💯

They left out my favorite part. Billbo beside the fire saying " struck by lighting" I thought it was a great part when Gandalf says " a queer little fellow, had fits sometimes." I loved the way they worked so closely with the book. Read the book several times. Love it.

I decided for the best film of the year, I was soo sure that there will come no better one than that - and then The Hobbite came and it was all over :D not just the best film of the year, indeed one of the best films I have ever seen! I take my hat off to you, Mr Jackson! You surpassed yourself!
