Kind of amazed that one of the longest movies in cinema history probably has the lowest runtime and sin count of all your videos.

"TERRIBLE AS THE DAWN...." Someone's not a morning person.

I’m sinning CinemaSins for not being able to pronounce Isildur correctly.

CinemaSins is WAY funnier when you know that He totally loves these Movies.

One does not simply Sin a LOTR movie.

Actually that bit about the rings at the beginning was pretty accurate. The elves figured out what the Ring does and resisted the mind control and the Dwarves didn't particularly care much about the affairs of Sauron and weren't affected. Only men weren't able to resist the mind control and were useful to Sauron in any way.

90% of the comments: ''Lord of the rings is not bad! Your sins are wrong!'' 9% of the comments is about the length of the video 1% aka me, looking for Tom Bombadil in that one shot

Personally I feel like the fact that this movie had only 54 sins by cinemasins standards is actually akin to a good review

NOTHING. There I just saved you all 7 minutes!

54 sins for a 3 hours long movie... Pretty good ratio if you ask me.

i love it how a 3 hour movie is only 7 minutes of sins whereas some 90 minute movies are 20 minutes of sins lotr is a masterpiece

Sin#2 - the one ring did affect the elves - when they knew sauron tried to control them through their rings, they took them off. When sauron was defeated by isildur, they could wear them again. The three rings weren't crafted by sauron - celebrimbor, feänors grandson, forged the elven rings in the same vain as his grandfather forged the silmarils by using his own spirit: the rest of the rings were forged by sauron. The 7 rings didn't work on the dwarves - it did make them more greedier and arrrogant, but sauron couldn't convert them as easily as he did the nazgûl. Sin#7 - The wizards powers (gandalf & the other istari) lies not in magic spells but in the power of persuasion - you see this with Sauruman controlling Theoden through Grima in two towers. You're thinking of wizards as in Harry Potter & JRR Tolkien, who never read Harry Potter because it came out 23 years after his death, modeled his wizards off of Merlin & the Witches from Shakespeares plays. Sin#10 - So there's two discrepancies: the first being that gandalf "saw the eye" and that he left and came back. What you have to understand is that Middle Earth was a land that had "magically" (I use this losely - it's more akin to alchemy) enchanted objects (Sting glows blow, Gandalfs ring Narya, etc.) The time lapse is 17 years in which gandalf leaves the shire and returns - he needed a way to confirm it was the one true ring, which you see in the documents saying to place it in fire to get the inscription. Secondly, gandalf had his suspicions since the Hobbit but couldn't confirm them - it's not like Middle Earth has Google, which I'm using right now to expedite & level these corrections. Sin#14 - The nazgûl cannot detect the ring unless the ring bearer is wearing it - it's a boobytrapped ring, yo. Sin#15 - because the ring answers to sauron, meaning that no amount of magic could stop it from returning to its master, as it is imbued with saurons spirit & has a mind of its own. It's the horcrux of all horcruxes, Harry. And for that matter - Sauron is stronger than all the wizards because he is the mightiest of the maiar, the lesser angelic beings of Eru and the Valar, which is why Sauron paired with Melkor in the silmarillion; who, like Sauron: was the most powerful of the Ainur. Sin#20 - because then the movie would be over. It's the same reason the eagles don't just fly Frodo to Mount Doom, although the eagles are under the command of Manwë and thus do only his bidding. For that matter - the ring isn't fully sentient: it functions like the seeing stones in two towers. What this means is that the entire sequence you just saw was coincidence, just like the ring slipping from Isildurs finger in the Anduin. Hey cinemasins - thanks for coming into work today. Sin#21 - Uhhh, you do know the nazgûl have no eyes, right? And that they're still men, albeit wraiths, so cursed men with special abilities which are tethered to Sauron? Sin#24 - Gandalf wouldn't die atop orthanc: it took a balrog & 24hrs of fighting to "kill" him, and he wasn't actually killed: he died from exhaustion. You clearly saw him manipulate lighting in that scene with Glamdring in two towers. Sin#26 - aragorn was literally guarding them and looking for supplies. He's a ranger, duh! Sin#33 - that wasn't Arwen that did that - it was Elrond, whose ring Vilya is capable of protecting his lands just as Nenya did the same for galadriel and lothlorien: The Ford's of Bruein are within the boarders of Rivendell. Sin#35 - The eagles a moving target: he's not striking it down. The mountain is stationary. Sin#36 - Because isildur had the one ring and knew it's power because of saurons corruption on numenór: Isildur knows the one ring confers the power of invisibility, so he - being possessed by Sauron's spirit inside the ring - could have put it on, killed elrond, sieged Barad-dûr, became the new dark lord and trigger the apocalypse. Elrond made a split decision. Sin#37 - don't be a dick to durins dwarves. Sin#49 - she means the dawn of the elves, when middle Earth was still veiled in night and Melkor was sowing havoc. Sin Corrections: 14, FT: 40ish (there's def a bunch of other stuff you could have sinned but didn't.)

"If you look really close you can see Tom Bombadil in this shot" NICE

The way you're pronouncing all the names is a sin

Imma be honest a lot of the plot things that were sins have been perfectly well explained in the books

You know, despite its sins, us Lotr fans were lucky with the movies. We could have been in Percy Jackson fandom's situation. Their "movies" aren't spoken about anymore in polite company.

You already know that the movie is good when the video is only 7 minutes

sauron couldnt corrupt elves beacuase they were too wise and powerful and he couldnt corrupt dwarves because they didnt care about anything other than being in there mines but he could corrupt men cause most men want to be powerful and rule the world

"I understand the entire premise of this channel but I love this movie and they're just nitpicking it unfairly" cliche

"This could be the only guy who knew all things Baggins." LMAO

54 sins in a 3 hour movie That's impressive

That ending is literally the best movie mashup you've ever done. Properly LOLd

4:06 "Oh I see, elf horses have turbo mode" I about lost my s*** right then.

"Sore-on" and "Isil-door"? What are you on, bro?

6:10 tell me where is gandalf? For i must desire to speak with him. THEYRE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO ISENGARD!!!

Pippin ate an apple after stealing a firework, making him even more of an asshole, and the Nazgul went to the Prometheus school of running away from magic water horses.

0:53 Peter Jackson's daughter is the cutest hobbit ever, she even came back in the second hobbit film as the waitress in the intro of the film

I'm going to point out everything wrong here. Still like the video though: 0:18 the elves took theirs off, and the dwarves are just really, really stubborn. 1:02 wizards have to "save up" their magic before they can do cool things like kill Balrogs. 1:25 it could've been any of the rings of power; Gandalf needed to be sure about what it was and how to destroy it 2:00 it can be difficult discerning the origin of smells; especially if you can't see 4:20 eagles are canonically far more powerful than wizards 5:14 Saruman's a smart guy. He got what the birds saw and figured it out 5:35 word doesn't just travel slow in Middle-Earth. It travels REALLY slow

"Because even short stories are best when told in trilogies"... HA! I loved The Hobbit movies, but this was funny.

I understand that this is a satire video. But I'm still gonna correct. 2nd Sin 0:18: The race of Men are easily corrupted. Dwarves and Elves are not. 10th Sin 1:25: He still needs as much information as he can get, 14th Sin 1:57: The Ring wants people making a big deal over it so it prefers remaining hidden than found right away. Not to mention, it's only really easy to detect the ring when someone's wearing it. 15th Sin 2:07: The Ring's too powerful to simply be put into a magical container. Besides, such container may not exist at all. 18th Sin 2:33: Ringwraiths can't touch water because traditional folklore hints that evil beings are derived from fire. Water kills fire. Besides, did you expect him to just jump in the water after them? 20th Sin 2:41: The Ring wants to be fussed over. By returning to Mordor, it limits the amount of people that would have fussed over it. 22nd Sin 2:59: They are less drawn to it when it isn't being worn. 28th Sin 3:48: It's mostly Aragorn that's scaring them. 30th Sin 3:59: If you can't find anything wrong with the film then don't sin it. 33rd Sin 4:14: Yes she does. Why was that sinned? 37th Sin 4:54: He only broke one side of it. It's still a formidable weapon. 42nd Sin 5:31: No one who has been in the mine since then has lived to tell people about the death of the Dwarves. Anyone who was on there was killed by Goblins, Orcs and Trolls. 48th Sin 6:18: It's just Frodo being paranoid. Good video though. But maybe it's better to admit that The Lord of the Rings is pretty damn flawless.

Cinema wins total: 250 Cinema sins total: 54 Total wins: 196

The Nazgûl are only drawn to the ring when it’s being used

7:41 onwards is priceless haha! Perfect tie-in of Monty pyhton and LotR.

day 26.... still searching for tom bombadil.

"Welcome to Rivendale, Mr. Anderson." I laughed so hard on that one.

I could be wrong, but I think the sword wasn't glowing when they were in the mines because they were fighting Goblins, not Orcs.

1: how is the first "sin" a sin? It takes like two second for it to show up! 2: what's wrong with reading?! 3: in Moria, those are goblins 4: Gandalf may have been giving bilbo time to just give up the ring at bag end 5: they were in Moria for days; Gandalf says "It's Gollum. He's been following us for a couple days now." 6: Gimli has more than one axe 7: where's tom I'm that shot? 8: the two hobbits maybe didn't see the cave troll. 9: "The hearts of men are easily corrupted." "Men? Men are weak." That's why they became the Nazgúl - because they fell to the power of their rings and The One Ring 10: Sam Merry and Pippin probably were crashing around doors at The Prancing Pony 11: if you read the book, it says the morgul blade disintegrates when someone besides the witch king picks it up Most of these are just dumb made up mistakes. I don't see anything wrong with most of these...

I wonder if CinemaSins is bold enough to do Lord of the Rings Extended as one Sins Film video. I always found the "let the Ringbearer decide" thing to be very idiotic because that means that the decision as to where to go is now passed from the one who knows best to the one who knows least (outside of the other four hobbits), and Frodo will now feel guilt over the deaths of anybody in those mines, such as Gandalf. Wouldn't Aragorn or Legolas have been a better option?

50% of these are things are the movies fault, and 50% are you misunderstanding the books. So the sin count for the movie is 27, the sin count for Cinama Sins is +27, and the sin count for the book is 0.

You really see how good the film, when this guy is struggling to make it happen in this video.

Those were GOBLINS in the mines of moria. GOBLINS. NOT ORCS.

Only 15-20 of these are legitimate sins.

0:25 the three rings of the Elves were hidden from Sauron, so he never got control of them. The rings of the Dwarves made them go crazy with avarice and paranoia. 1:22 Frodo was 'doing the polite' with all the party guests, since he'd been left the only Baggins on the field. 1:40 the Nazgul also ride over that gatekeeper in Bree. 1:55 convenient hiding tree is an old Tolkien calendar illustration. 2:00 the Nazgul only sense the ring clearly when it's being worn, and they don't function well in daylight. 2:10 the ring would have escaped from any container. 4:18 it's not Arwen's "strangely specific ability"; the flood is one of Rivendell's border-defense spells that she triggered, and the horses were Gandalf's little touch. 4:22 the eagles are the magical servants of Manwe, who's basically the chief archangel. 5:07 sausages aren't 'raw meat casings'; they're boiled, which is why they keep. 5:18 where else could they possibly be going, when they're heading up the trail to the Pass?

1 sin for every arrow Boromir takes. Guess that guy specced heavily into armor and hitpoints.

Sauron controlled the Men with the rings because he made those, the rings the Elves had weren't made by Sauron. Hobbits don't smell. This is part of the reason why Bilbo was chosen for the quest in The Lonely Mountain so Smaug couldn't smell him. Crows of Sauron knew where Gandalf was leading them because it was the only route on the path they were on. Not to nerd it up completely but just some answers. :D

I love that no matter how much hate they get, CinemaSins never disables the comments. True dedication to their fans and their opinions, no matter how idiotic.

They’re not afraid of water they just know that they can’t swim up to them fast enough and they don’t want to risk drowning the horses AKA the only source of transportation they currently had

i always thought that in the mines the enemies were goblins, not orcs, thats why the blade didnt glow.

Thumbs up if only for the Monty Python reference.

You know it's a good movie because it only takes 7 min to say everything wrong with the fellowship of the ring and it is a 3 hour movie.

Elijah Wood seriously doesn’t get enough credit for his performance in that trilogy. He’s SO GOOD at showing how manipulative the One Ring is. The Ring has a will of it’s own, and Elijah Wood does a phenomenal job portraying how Frodo was slowly losing his sanity and physical strength as the journey went on!

We got to be honest here, Peter Jackson made an incredible trilogy from something that was so long and detailed. It's so hard to include everything, at least they were able to do it and make their time useful. The actors, the animations, the voices, orchestra is put together so well that every single moment brings nostalgia to the former readers and those watching several times over. Heck, even I am getting huge nostalgia here because I remember the good times when I read the books, it even makes me want to read the books again. *even though I know I'll fall asleep due to the sheer detail*

The ending movie references are HILARIOUS! Lol I love the Monty Python and the Princess Bride ones

Sauron couldn't control the elves because they took off and hid the rings when they found out about The One Ring.

The 3 great elven rings were immune to the One Ring because unlike all of the others, Sauron didn't have a part in their creation. Celebrembor forged them in secret and gave them to Galadriel and Gil-Gilad to protect from Sauron. He couldn't control those rings, but I believe he still wanted them anyway to add to his power and to have dominion over the elves.

Thank you Ian Holm (Bilbo). Rest in peace.

Frodo's blade isn't glowing in the mines because they're surrounded by goblins, not orcs :)

"Gandalf said it was a 4-day trip through the mines but it takes the Fellowship like, a couple of hours, if that, to get to the other side" Well, actually, when Frodo notices Gollum in Moria, Gandalf says that Gollum's been following them for three days, so they've presumably already spent 3 days travelling through Moria, and are almost at the end. A bit unclear to be honest, but it's there. And the sin for Elrond not just throwing Isildur into the fires of Mount Doom was ridiculous, i get that it was mainly for comedic reasons and these videos are just for shits'n'giggles yaddayadda, but you're essentially trying to make a joke about one of the coolest elves in Middle Earth for not just straight up murdering someone who's essentially now, the HIgh King of Gondor and pretty much the king of you know, the other half of your little Alliance which led to Sauron's death. Also, Saruman knowing where they were headed, is a nobrainer. They have a limited amount of options, he obviously knows they won't take the route through the Gap of Rohan, because that's literally right outside Saruman's doorstep, and, as shown in the movie, Gandalf knows what's in the mines of Moria, and would never willingly risk going down there unless he had no other choice, as he said. Soo really, this movie has about 51 actual CinemaSins valid...uh sins, instead of 54, and that's giving you guys a lot of headway here by not slaughtering you for sinning stuff that's explained in the extended edition of a movie that was released over a decade ago at the time of the release of this video.

“Weed is the answer to everything” 🤣🤣

If you have read Tolkiens writing for long enough, you learn to just go with it, however confusing it is.

"Tell me where is Gandalf? For I much desire to speak with him."

You gave a sin for smoking weed??? Wtf

"Welcome to Rivendale... Mr. Anderson." Lol

Have I been blinded all these years by my love to LOTR that I've never asked any of the questions this video's posed? my world is shaking and I started doubting everything

Final clip was the best. That worked perfectly.

This format only works when the movie is actually bad. Otherwise its just mega nerd nit picking.

5:31 In the book, they explain that Gimli’s cousin had retaken the mines of Moria years earlier but after that, they didn’t get anymore letters from the dwarves in the mines.

Dude, you're Super hilarious in all these Lord of the Ring reviews!!!

5:54, they are goblins, not orcs. A lot of this is self explanatory if you knew much about the lord of the rings.

The "...and my axe" part was hilarious. And the one about the castle of UAAAAAAAGHHHHHHH!

96 percent of the audio outtakes are pure gold

You had me dead when u said "oh no Isildur fell into the fire..." 🤣☠️

Did you not know people kept sausages before refrigerators were invented

Gimli doesn't use his own axe to try to destroy the ring. And this is not just retconning, you can actually see how he takes the axe of the dwarf at his right, rather than his own.

When Galadriel is narrating and describing the three rings of the Elves, Gil-Galad is shown wearing the Red Ring, and Cirdan is shown wearing the Blue Ring. Elrond received the Blue Ring from Gil-Galad when he was killed, and Cirdan gave the Red Ring to Gandalf when The Wizards first arrived in Middle Earth.

The fact that they only needed 8 minutes for this just shows how great this is

CinemaSins, you know little of sausages. So sausages 101: sausages are dried in smoke and after that about as durable as smoked salmon. They can stay fresh though months of winter and don't really need to be cooked or baked to be eaten, but you CAN cook or bake them for a different taste. So... Wallmart generation, do your research before looking silly ;)

0:31 sauron got thirsty in the middle of trying to kill isildur, and is in fact reaching for a can of lemonade that one of his henchmen is giving to him.

I just realised this but Gandalf presumably knew about the mines of moria. He was actually very reluctant to go there and Saruman even narrates during the movie that Gandalf supposedly knows what the dwarfs had awoken in the depths (the balrog)

''Weed is the answer to everything'' LMAO!

This video should be 0 seconds long. Period.

It Peter Jackson wanted to solve the minor plot holes mentioned, this movie would be 6 hours long...

You forgot about how Frodo shoves the ring in Gandalf‘s face

i know this was a short video, but you will never be forgiven for making videos on the lord of the rings

Gimli carries multiple axes, and the one he shattered was different than the one he showed to Frodo when pledging to protect him.

Welcome to rivendell, Mr Anderson

LOL "yelling go ring". I love Cinemasins

that bit in the very end is one of the best lotr jokes i've ever seen.

Okay, another thing about the One Ring. The Ring DID try to roll away to Mordor. The Ring actually moved itself away from Gollum in the caves, but once it leaves one bearer, it has to wait for a new one to pick it up. The farther away from Mordor the Ring is, the weaker that it's ability to manipulate others is, and also the weaker it's ability to move itself about. It takes so long to manipulate and control Frodo, because Frodo is genuinely good, innocent, and honest. However, the closer Frodo gets to Mordor and Sauron's influence, it becomes more and more difficult for him to resist the Ring. I will say though, that with the movies, the books hardly matter at all and the lore was pretty much hacked to shit. The movies are still good entertainment all in all, but fans of the books and the lore of Middle Earth will always be disappointed by them.

Why is Reading a sin? xD

Back to the time, when Cinemasins videos are short, the jokes on point and the sins given not for every fkn single scene in the movies...

I'm surprised you didn't do a "Smoke weed everyday" joke at the end.

Actually, for movie sin standards, a 3 hour movie with only 54 sins is actually pretty good :) congratulations, Fellowship of the Ring

What was Frodo doing when Bilbo disappeared? Simple; dealing with a whole party full of upset hobbits.

Gimli actually used his friend's hammer, instead of asking or being anything but hasty. He probably thought he couldn't destroy the ring with his axe, so he used his friend's hammer. Also, keep in mind that hobbits are incredibly short and Sam only got a short distance before he started sinking into the water, which is how Frodo was able to pull him out. I agree that Tom Bombadill should've been in the Hobbit or LOTR movies. It's been so long since I have read the books, I have forgotten which one Tom was in

6:38 Elves understand insomnia pretty well.

"bad guy doesn't like water cliche" or maybe it's just a bad idea to chase people on a raft across a lake with a horse lol

Dwarwen rings are lost long ago and elven rings can't be controlled by the One Ring. Sauron didn't even touch them. That smelling thing is suposed to amplify Rings power so that Frodo lose himself and put it on. Rivers are in Elrond's command in the books but Peter Jackson tried his best to give Liv Tyler some role i guess. That 'Why Elrond threw Isildur into the fire' thing does actually make sense. I really don't know why such a supreme elf plays no real part in this adventure.

This is still gold

"If Gandalof can teleport doesn't it make you wonder why he doesn't use magic more often during the trilogy?" Yes, that is one of my biggest issues with the whole thing.
