Sorry for the missunderstandings, I changed the title now. Actually this is Michael Hordern reading the famous verse from J.R.R. Tolkiens Lord of the Rings.

  • Ash nazg durbatuluk ash nazg gimbatul ash nazg thrakatuluk burzum-ishi krimpatul !!!

  • Well, that's not Tolkien, but I do like Michael Hordern's Gandalf.

    Tolkien himself is much harder to understand. He mumbles and smokes while he talks. But I love him all the same.

  • Cool reading.There's another awesome version of the Ring Verse on YouTube, it's in Old English. Check it out. :)

  • NOT Tolkien. Change the title!

  • @velickocar AHHHH NOOOO!!! DONT WRITE IT!!!

  • @rudeydudey05 This isn't Tolkien's voice. You can hear him all over youtube reading from his writings, and this isn't his voice.

  • It nice to hear the voice of the author of the books i enjoy so very much.

  • Sir Michael Hordern narrates this poem he was the narrator and voice of the sun god Frith in the watershipdown

  • @hrabnya i don't understand your point about john rhys-davies but yeah i agree with you.

  • @lamlyn I believe you mean Bernard Hill, but your point is good - he is the only (aside from Sir Ian McKellen and Christopher Lee) who I could have picked out at an instant as being the character that they play. I'm excluding John Rhys-Davies here, simply because playing a dwarf makes it pretty obvious who he is. For me, the casting didn't do much to help support the atmosphere Tolkien created - Elrond, Arwen, Aragorn, all the hobbits (save for Sam), seemed to be different due to the casting.

  • I read all the books too. In the film Peter Jackson "The Two Towers", in a deleted scene

    Grima, worm-tongue, kill Saruman. On the book " The return of the King" there`s a chapter dedicated as " The Plague of Shire" , where Saruman dies in Hobbiton after a

    rebellion of Hobbits. He as no time to made more film and invented an end for Saruman.

  • @AngryIrish55 .. Yes, it's a masterpiece of cinematic achievement, a kick in the face for hollywood and NZ is stunning. But, they aren't perfect in every way and if Tolkien was able to sit through all three films (i doubt he would) he would get more and more insulted and frustrated by them.
