shorter version of lord of the rings

[mistertwister]

“It’s quite cool”

“Yes Gandalf, it’s pretty epic”

[johns]

A little ring. The least of rings. Just a trifle that Sauron fancies.

[BlueBoxRevan]

Frodo: "Wait, i see something."
Gandalf: *Intense emotions*
Frodo: "Made in Rivendell"
Gandalf: *sigh of relief*

Even shorter version:
-Gandalf throws ring into fire
-the ring is destroyed
-movie over

[thijmen]

Elrond: “drop it into the fire Isildur!”
Isildur: “k”
*end credits rol*

[quickattackfilms]

-Gandalf pulls ring out of fire. “Don’t worry, it’s quite cool.”
-Drops it in Frodos hand
-It’s super hot
-Frodo drops it
-None of them ever speak of it again.

In a hole in the ground, there lived a Hobbit. And he lived happily ever after.

I thought Sauron was going to explode as soon as Gandalf throws it in the fire 😂

The character arcs are so well fleshed out. The plot makes perfect sense without becoming trite or predictable. A shining example to all the latest Disney live action movies.

So Gandalf could’ve just carry the ring to Mordor himself with a pair of tongs

[fyrerayne]

The whole LOTR was all about Sam mustering up the courage to get a wife. At the beginning of the first movie he’s shy and nervous. At the end of the last movie he’s confident and gets the wife. Frodo was just his spirit guide there to help him get the courage to speak to the girl.

"And it was upon noticing that there was nothing on the ring Frodo discovered he was the Lord of the Ring all along. "

[themole]

Love how Gandalf gambled Frodo not getting burnt on his being right about the ring being cool. Would have been pretty awkward if Frodo had screamed, dropped it and no lettering appeared.

Shortest version: Sauron falls into the lava while making the rings

[snakeplissken]

Elrond: "The Ring cannot be destroyed, Gimli, son of Glóin, by any craft that we here possess. The Ring was made in the fires of Mount Doom. Only there can it be unmade. It must be taken deep into Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came. One of you must do this."
Utter silence, no one raises a hand.
Credits roll.

The best bit was when Frodo said "nothing." I really felt that moment.

The post credit scene:

Frodo - "Wait...."

[Matthatguy]

Even shorter version would be Déagol not finding the ring

[anarabdullazad]

In a few years this will go viral as youtube randomly desides to recommend it to everyone.

It's so cool in the movie how Gandalf expresses relief because Frodo says there's nothing there, so his suspicion that it could be the one ring is laid to rest. Then unfortunately the markings show. Uh-oh!
