30 Facts You Didn't Know About The Hobbit Trilogy

You know, lately I've been seeing a ton of videos pop up on my feed about how bad the Hobbit movies were, so I just had to go rewatch the trilogy. Honestly, even though some of the shortcomings are clearly visible, there's also a lot of really well done and interesting segments that definitely make the films enjoyable to me.

This is all to say I felt compelled to make a video highlighting the great parts of the trilogy, and also why it could've turned out much better had there not been a series of unfortunate events.

Thanks for watching don't forget to leave a like and subscribe! Have a great day!

in my opinion no one could've played young Bilbo like Martin Freeman did. He was perfect as Bilbo

Freeman was 100% the only person I could see playing a young bilbo.

Viggo Mortensen saying "You do know, don't you? Aragorn isn't in The Hobbit" is why he ended up being such a perfect casting for Aragorn in LOTR.

Ian Mckellen, I truly appreciate him and his character. Also thank The Why for covering a favorite topic of mine, as well as being as informative as you are in general.

viggo: you do know that... Orlando: paychecks too good, what day?

Benedict is actually pretty mind blowing considering his roles!

Gimli, at 62, was considered a bit too young by his elders to join the quest for Erebor.

I truly don’t understand the flak this film gets compared to LOTR. I get the deviations that all 6 movies take from the books but The Hobbit trilogy is a phenomenal set of work. I still get lost in it every time I watch it. Perhaps I’m just the minority in this though.

Amazing work, makes me loves the Hobbit films even more. Thanks for your work and research on this!

[KeveTeller]

I'm one of those weirdos who liked the Hobbit trilogy more than the original one. It's just less depressing & more of an adventure that I love to watch when I'm feeling down. The original is still great though.

Legolas literally called his future best friend a goblin-mutant.

I am astounded you didn't mention Sylvester McCoy as Radagast the Brown. McCoy's most famous role, of course, was the Seventh Doctor in Doctor Who.

I still can't belive theres a dwarf with an axe stuck in his skull and I didn't notice till now OMG

You channel is incredible. And very underrated in my option. I would love to see a video about any Sergio Leone film. I’ve been very into his work lately and he’s such a decisive character himself.

Just a little side note: If you haven’t seen Mortal Engines, it’s an incredible film and very underrated as well. Though not directed by Peter Jackson (helped produce and co-wrote screenplay, ) you can definitely tell it has a lot of his touches.

I don't understand why everyone doesn't like the movies so much, yes, Lord of the Rings is maybe more epic and "better" in itself, but I love the Hobbit movies more than anything and I just feel at home when I see them.

[shawbrickproductions]

My favorite scenes in the Hobbit films are the Sauron ones. Absolutely terrifying and amazing. The music too is some of my absolute favorite.

It's not that the Hobbit trilogy was bad, the original trilogy is just that legendary.

They involved 50 000 CPU cores for Smaug??! I know that most of the viewers here don't understand the depth of this.... but this is... insane! Incredible. Your home CPU contains at most 2-8 cores btw. and each core is expensive as hell and consumes a lot of electrical power... WOW! For people outside of IT, this is "similar" to using 50 000 physical computers just to render one image! Imagine that...

And they employed 170 Terrabytes of RAM.... what.... WHAT? That's approximately 170 000 Gigabytes of RAM. At home you have around 4-16 gigabytes (32 if you're real lucky!). 170 000! ...

[gamechanger-vista]

the processing power on smaug was insane.🔥🔥🔥
