Nothing can recapture the magic of Happy Hobbit’s original reaction to the trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, which led to not only going viral, but having Peter Jackson share their video with the Elven cast (Orlando Bloom, Lee Pace, and Evangeline Lily) and appearing in international news. That said, nearly a decade later, we get to return to Middle-earth with the upcoming series The Rings of Power, which is reason enough to film a trailer reaction video! You can watch their reaction and analysis below.
