In the book they weren't wood elves but high elves. And not only that, the hobbits stayed overnight with them, because their leader (Gildor Inglorion) got concerned on why the enemy chased them.
What's funny is that they already knew Frodo's name, though Frodo didn't know theirs. It's because they already knew Bilbo.
@Theambasaman they have seen a vision. they know soon they will be attacked by saruman and sauron and so they are leaving for the grey haven which is somewhere they can live forever. the eleves know there is much darkness ahead. frodo later goes there too with gandalf and elrond. they are leaving for somehwere safer, although galadriel, elrond, arwen and the sort of elvish leaders stay behind to help and then at the end when everything is ok, they leave for the grey havens themselves.
You all are a bunch of pretentious people who try too hard to be the smartest person on youtube. Congratulations, you've read the silmarillion and lord of the rings.
@buffy21033 People are just so egotistical. lol It gets annoying to see people trying to prove themselves to be better or smarter than everyone else. and hell, I'm probably not in the right myself for even saying something about it.
@andrewdrury1 I totally agree, you see those long-ass comments talking shit about something and I'm just like shut up, I don't care about whatever you've got to say. It's true I'm probably being a hypocrite right now...
@311Bambino It's is more complicated than that. First of all, in the book they are High-Elves, not Wood (a.k.a Silvan) Elves. They're closer to Galadriel's than Legolas' kind.
It's not only because they escape something - they're also summoned back to Aman, the undying lands across the sea, west of Middle-Earth where they came from. They got in Middle-Earth because they got a ban. It was caused by first Dark Lord Morgoth, Sauron's master. He deceived the High-Elves and caused the Kinslaying.
@ralebp54 The end of the third age marks the beginning of the age of men and the dwindling of elves in middle earth. Because elves are immortal and middle earth is becoming ever more lifeless and bland, they return (or travel for the first time depending on lineage outlined in silmarillion) to the undying lands where the Valar (god like figures), Maiar and all immortal creatures dwell in bliss etc. Men are not shown passage into undying lands or "Aman" even after death, due to their mortality.
@b0bthekillar not really due to their mortality, the valar just saw that bringing the elves to valinor resulted in tragedie and they didn't want any trouble in their land anymore so when men were born they decided to leave them in middle-earth. But they still gave them an Island: Numenor, but that's a whole other story.
@queenjeremythewicked well actualy men chose to be mortal when Elros and Elrond where born. but after Melkor (morgoth) corrupted men, the Valar prohibited men from sailing west, but after Ar Phazon was corrupted by Sauron, he set sail to Valinor, because Sauron told him that it was the lands that made them immortal (wich is not true), and not all the elves went to Valinor, they actualy went to an Island that lies of the coast of Forlindon a remnant of Beleriand.
I'm not sure Peter Jackson could have done justice to Tom Bombadil, so maybe it's better he wasn't included. It would VERY hard to make him fit with a 100% epic, serious Peter Jackson interpretation of LOTR. On the other hand Gimli was totally bungled and diluted into nothing more than an Irish caricature/comic relief, they didn't even get his hair color right. So perhaps Tom could have been included without making things too cheesy. But cutting him out also meant skipping the Barrow Downs :(
They need to do more lord of the rings movies like: before ardas, origins of morgoth and sauron, the war of elves and sauron, and the last alliance of men and elves i mean they should do them cause they have more than enough information about them to do it.
@Vindignatio He smokes weed. Thats why it took such a long time. Also the fact that Gandalf smokes it too means he didnt think about traveling per giant eagle.
ggrrr this doesnt even happen in the book! Sure they meet elves in the shire but Pippin is with them and they actually speak to them, and they arent leaving middle earth!!!

I think they missed so much in these movies, and made a lot of errors. Peter come up with a lot of stuff himself and switched characters like Arwen glorfindel. I think they should make the hobbit and the sequal to that del toro and jackson. And make them 100% true to the books. Then remake lord of the rings with the same actors. And do things right...I know this will not happen, but you can always dream right :p
The problem is the movies put together with all the deleted scenes would last about nine hours. Only people who absolutely love the trilogy would go see it that's why they had to cut some out. The third movie would have lasted longer than four hours. I would go see it but not a lot of people can watch a movie for more than 2 hours.
In the traditional folklore and mythology of the British Isles, elven parades were once a common fey phenomena, with troupes of elves supposedly going from one enchanted hill to another.
They were going back to Valinor, to where the Valar dwell. They all have a longing in their hearts for that land... They all want to go over the sea, cause the Valar called to them, when middle earth was young, and the elves had just seen the light of the stars...
Some of them went over the ocean then, while others decided to stay in middle earth. And, well, the glorious days of the elves has passed, now they are going home:)
@kertsman2221 They wouldn't run or scream. They'd get a bow and arrow from out of nowhere and shoot the orcs dead long before they even got the chance to lift their filthy swords... :)
@kertsman2221 They wouldn't run or scream. They'd get a bow and arrow from out of nowhere and shoot the orcs dead long before they even got the chance to lift their filthy swords... :) and then they'd keep walking, slowly...
@TheFactoryOfLight yeap, they didn't knew yet what is going on in Isengard. If they knew that Saruman bread an army of bloodthirsty, light immune Uruk-hai hordes armed with plate armor that could smash and burn through the lands of Eriador in a blink of an eye they wouldn't act so cool.
@mychemicalrelapse. Well they really are a bunch of pussies who don't do much of anything in this day and age. They apparently have no shame when it comes to avoiding or surrendering to any conflict what so ever. I always imagine them as French.
@0rch0l0d3s French hahahahah, yeah Elves in the past did a lot of important things, but most of the Third Age elves are quite cheesy and try to avoid conflicts.
When all the elves have gone to Aman, Middle-Earth will be like our world. It is pointless for the other races - except humans- to exist without the elves.
I agree there are a lot of cool scenes they could have included instead of those endless scenes of aragorn and arwen seriously there are a lot of cool scenes that are very short like gandalf vs witch king, eowyn vs the orc general even faramir and eowyn scene would have been better to give it more varied romantic scenes,I mean come on I own the DVDS and whenever a scene of romance between aragorn and arwen start I skip it not always because the actress is hot.
True. What about Gildor Inglorien,Farmer Maggot,Tom Bombadil,The Old Forest, The Barrow Downs. Why Arwen,not Glorfindel.I understand some editing,due to time restraints,but to slash half of the story and then insert new scenes smacks of arrogance.The Two Towers suffered most from this.
Tom Bombadil is not important for Lotr fabula. He is important for middle earth, that is why they did not want to spend time on him. Maybe they mention him in some documentary about middle earth, but surely not in 3h film.
@yummeeceline I was glad Bombadil wasn't included. It was too fairy taley and it didn't really fly with the rest of the book imho. I cannot understand why he should be significant.
I would have liked to see Glorfindel though. The more elves the better.
@yummeeceline It would have been nice but it would make the movie more cheesy, he just pops up in small occasions has nothing to do with the story, it would be even more harder to make the movie. Peter's lucky that he didn't add Tom Bombadil because if he did the movie probably wouldn't have been as perfect as it is already.
@yummeeceline Not everyone thinks that he's important for the book, but he's rather belongs in a separate story, as intriguing as he is. But I still like him, his storyline shows Frodo's bravery for the first time.
Elves were one of the first how would I say, race created in middle earth. The first was dwarves by the way and they were not suppose to be made. Anyway the Elves are special for they are immortal and they also have no free will. Basically unlike men, They cannot choose to be evil they are like robots. So they are leaving because they have no resaon to stay. They went to valinor with the Valor to live with them. The Valor are the creatures that created middle earth.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No, He like alot of mirkwood elves stayed. Simply because mirkwood elves are like rednecks in a sense lol. They are much different and not like Lorien elves who would be your snobs.
he did later on. he went to valinor with gimli because of the strong friendship they developed. he was the only dwarf to be granted permission to enter the blessed lands
lol Yup. They'd rather mine precious metals and gems all day. Most of them are concentrated in Erebor since Moria has fallen anyway. That wasn't even intended as an offensive thing towards dwarves, it's just pretty much true. However, there is a northern war going on in which the elves and dwarves are fighting alone, so a lot of them are probably tied up there rather than running around on adventures elsewhere.
No prob, I actually first learned about stuff outside the context of the movies from playing Battle for Middle Earth II, in the strategy map where you can conquer various territories. After that, I started looking up different stuff. But the expansion to BFME2 is all about the war in the north against Angmar. I can't say for sure since all of my sources are either direct from the game or the Internet, but it's all probably from a book or Tolkien's notes, as I doubt EA is allowed to make it up.
the first race created were the elves made by Eru (Iluvatar) itself not the dwarves. an the elves were not robots as josh2434 says... there were a lot of wise elves (Galadriel ,Cirdan ,Finarfin - he fought against Morgoth the first dark lord the equivalent of satan) and the elves were also very skillful many of their powers were considered by men as magic. the elves which were transformed into orcs were mostly avari (elves which have not seen the light of laurelin and telperion)
also the elves returned to valinor because the valar (powerful spirits equivalent of saints) called them back. some elves in the past abandoned the march back to valinor and remained on middle earth. the wisest elves were the noldor a part of the elves "tree" from which Galadriel was coming from.
also during the third age - was confirmed - Galadriel was the most powerful being on middle earth because of her power and because of nenya ,her ring.
so the elves were not robots... they were thw most beutiful race on earth and the wisest. morgoth itself called them "eldar" = people born under the stars (Galadriel was oftenly called "Queen of Stars")
I wouldn't say Galadriel is the most powerful being in middle earth. She was more powerful then Sauron of course but not morgoth. All the fights that the elves had to defeat Morgoth remeber? :D. Oh and don't forget Tom Bobadil he was extremly remeber his regard as to what would happen if Sauron and him fought in an open battle? By the way Morgoth=Valor Valor>elves Its cool thanks for some of the corrections though.
I doubt that Galadriel was even as powerful as Gandalf- remember, Galadriel was an elf, but Gandalf was a Maia, just like Saruman and Sauron. Plus, he had his own ring of power- Galadriel had Nenya, and Gandalf had Narya.
Tom Bombadils power is never stated. It just says he's old. The ring has no effect on him, and he can see its effects on others. Gandalf said that if they gave the ring to Tom, he'd forget about it.
Also he says that if the rest of the world fell, Tom would quickly follow. He can only exist as long as there is good in the world.
Are the elves ever going to come back cause they would be viewed as cowards for leaving middle earth in the middle of a war and also does that mean orcs are a corrupted bred of elf
In the book they weren't wood elves but high elves. And not only that, the hobbits stayed overnight with them, because their leader (Gildor Inglorion) got concerned on why the enemy chased them.
What's funny is that they already knew Frodo's name, though Frodo didn't know theirs. It's because they already knew Bilbo.

@0rch0l0d3s French hahahahah, yeah Elves in the past did a lot of important things, but most of the Third Age elves are quite cheesy and try to avoid conflicts.

When all the elves have gone to Aman, Middle-Earth will be like our world. It is pointless for the other races - except humans- to exist without the elves.

They only had enough time to concentrate on the interminable Aragorn-Arwen love story. Not so bad in the first film,but butchered The Two Towers!

I agree there are a lot of cool scenes they could have included instead of those endless scenes of aragorn and arwen seriously there are a lot of cool scenes that are very short like gandalf vs witch king, eowyn vs the orc general even faramir and eowyn scene would have been better to give it more varied romantic scenes,I mean come on I own the DVDS and whenever a scene of romance between aragorn and arwen start I skip it not always because the actress is hot.

True. What about Gildor Inglorien,Farmer Maggot,Tom Bombadil,The Old Forest, The Barrow Downs. Why Arwen,not Glorfindel.I understand some editing,due to time restraints,but to slash half of the story and then insert new scenes smacks of arrogance.The Two Towers suffered most from this.

i totally agree with not having Tom Bombadil in the movie. Hes an AWESOME character. hes like really important too :(
yummeeceline 2 years ago 83
Tom Bombadil is not important for Lotr fabula. He is important for middle earth, that is why they did not want to spend time on him. Maybe they mention him in some documentary about middle earth, but surely not in 3h film.

@yummeeceline I was glad Bombadil wasn't included. It was too fairy taley and it didn't really fly with the rest of the book imho. I cannot understand why he should be significant.
I would have liked to see Glorfindel though. The more elves the better.

@yummeeceline It would have been nice but it would make the movie more cheesy, he just pops up in small occasions has nothing to do with the story, it would be even more harder to make the movie. Peter's lucky that he didn't add Tom Bombadil because if he did the movie probably wouldn't have been as perfect as it is already.
fourpetersfakeandgay 6 months ago 2
@yummeeceline Not everyone thinks that he's important for the book, but he's rather belongs in a separate story, as intriguing as he is. But I still like him, his storyline shows Frodo's bravery for the first time.

ctzpsycho8 3 years ago
Elves were one of the first how would I say, race created in middle earth. The first was dwarves by the way and they were not suppose to be made. Anyway the Elves are special for they are immortal and they also have no free will. Basically unlike men, They cannot choose to be evil they are like robots. So they are leaving because they have no resaon to stay. They went to valinor with the Valor to live with them. The Valor are the creatures that created middle earth.

No, He like alot of mirkwood elves stayed. Simply because mirkwood elves are like rednecks in a sense lol. They are much different and not like Lorien elves who would be your snobs.

he did later on. he went to valinor with gimli because of the strong friendship they developed. he was the only dwarf to be granted permission to enter the blessed lands

aidenmccloskey 2 years ago
lol Yup. They'd rather mine precious metals and gems all day. Most of them are concentrated in Erebor since Moria has fallen anyway. That wasn't even intended as an offensive thing towards dwarves, it's just pretty much true. However, there is a northern war going on in which the elves and dwarves are fighting alone, so a lot of them are probably tied up there rather than running around on adventures elsewhere.

did you get all your information from the books?
personally, it explains a lot. thanks for the info
aidenmccloskey 2 years ago
No prob, I actually first learned about stuff outside the context of the movies from playing Battle for Middle Earth II, in the strategy map where you can conquer various territories. After that, I started looking up different stuff. But the expansion to BFME2 is all about the war in the north against Angmar. I can't say for sure since all of my sources are either direct from the game or the Internet, but it's all probably from a book or Tolkien's notes, as I doubt EA is allowed to make it up.
scratchtasticZ 2 years ago
the first race created were the elves made by Eru (Iluvatar) itself not the dwarves. an the elves were not robots as josh2434 says... there were a lot of wise elves (Galadriel ,Cirdan ,Finarfin - he fought against Morgoth the first dark lord the equivalent of satan) and the elves were also very skillful many of their powers were considered by men as magic. the elves which were transformed into orcs were mostly avari (elves which have not seen the light of laurelin and telperion)
plumpy95 3 years ago
also the elves returned to valinor because the valar (powerful spirits equivalent of saints) called them back. some elves in the past abandoned the march back to valinor and remained on middle earth. the wisest elves were the noldor a part of the elves "tree" from which Galadriel was coming from.
also during the third age - was confirmed - Galadriel was the most powerful being on middle earth because of her power and because of nenya ,her ring.
plumpy95 3 years ago
so the elves were not robots... they were thw most beutiful race on earth and the wisest. morgoth itself called them "eldar" = people born under the stars (Galadriel was oftenly called "Queen of Stars")
plumpy95 3 years ago
I wouldn't say Galadriel is the most powerful being in middle earth. She was more powerful then Sauron of course but not morgoth. All the fights that the elves had to defeat Morgoth remeber? :D. Oh and don't forget Tom Bobadil he was extremly remeber his regard as to what would happen if Sauron and him fought in an open battle? By the way Morgoth=Valor Valor>elves Its cool thanks for some of the corrections though.
josh2434 3 years ago
oh yep youre right i hav firgotten to write this thing about morgoth... thanks for the correction :D
plumpy95 3 years ago
I doubt that Galadriel was even as powerful as Gandalf- remember, Galadriel was an elf, but Gandalf was a Maia, just like Saruman and Sauron. Plus, he had his own ring of power- Galadriel had Nenya, and Gandalf had Narya.

He had a ring of power?
Well the 9 Human rings were used by the ringwraiths, 7 dwarf ones were accounted for or destroyed
The film showed the 3 Elf-Lords get the rings, and I don't think Gandalf was any of them..
I'm not saying he didn't have one but I don't think he was (at least the original owner) of any of those rings of power
Phoenixstryke 2 years ago 2
Gil-galad died, and gave his ring to Elrond.
Galadriel had her ring.
And Cirdan gave his ring to Gandalf when he arrived in Middle Earth.
Watch the Grey Havens scene again, and look for a red ring on his finger.

Tom Bombadils power is never stated. It just says he's old. The ring has no effect on him, and he can see its effects on others. Gandalf said that if they gave the ring to Tom, he'd forget about it.
Also he says that if the rest of the world fell, Tom would quickly follow. He can only exist as long as there is good in the world.
