@@starpunzel Not in the same movie, but I agree. Theoden's speech and the charge of the Rohirrim at the Pelennor Fields is the best scene of the last movie of the trilogy. DEATH!!! DEAATH!!! DEAAATH!!!
@@kourtourafi when I go out to cut the grass I tell my husband, "Fell weeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and a mowed lawn! Agree - I should have said *one of the best*. There are so many!
The shot from 8:05 - 8:15, when they ride out like 8 horsemen with nothing to lose, as their one last "deed", setting all fear aside and facing the enemy with no fear, especially with that epic Rohan music in the background always brings an uncontrollable smile to my face. It's corny as hell, but these movies did those type of moments where the characters display their courage so authentic and inspiring, they always help me feel motivated if I'm feeling down from life. With other movies I may sometimes feel the need to throw a cynic comment or roll my eyes, or just be indifferent, but with these 3 films, it always makes me feel something. This trilogy is 10/10, all three of the films are 10/10.
But thats the thing. Its NOT corny as hell, as poor Tolkien lived through the horrors of the Western Front and saw the full gamut of human emotions and qualities ❤
The one thing that kinda breaks my immersion is, how none of those hundreds of orcs in their path ever thinks of holding out his sword or spear to get their horses. Of course that wouldn't have meant dooming the men (and wouldn't have changed the outcome once the Rohirrim showed up) but it would've at least stopped the advance.
Not corny at all brother. You feel this way because it is indeed real AF - these are deep, deep vibrations that resonate and quake within all our hearts!
I remember being like 10 or 11 years old when this one came out. It was always around Christmas and my whole family (like 25 of us) would go see it. Right after it started I started feeling like shit. I had a really bad fever and was hallucinating and everything. It was bad. I was trying to suck it up because I wanted to see it so bad but I couldn’t do it. My grandpa was sitting next to me. The best man I’d ever know and he noticed that something was wrong and he scooped me up and took me to the doctor. It’s a good memory with him, besides being the sickest I’ve ever been up till now. lol. A week or so later he took me to see it again so I could actually watch it.
Not LOTR related, but I have something of the same memory of my grandad. I was around 13-14 at the time and something was really wrong with me. No one could figure it out but it was my anti-epileptic medication rising to dangerously toxic levels. I had fallen in a deep sleep in front of Nana and Grandad's fire and I remember him picking me up and carrying me down the hallway to lay me down in a bed. He was a WWII POW who had been aged before his time but boy, he had some strength in him. I miss him. He was gone too soon 😢
@@cathdodd5072 he sounds like a hell of a man. Everyone who has grandparents who are good people should count their lucky stars. I always remind my daughter to cherish the time she has with her grandparents because before you know it, it’ll be gone.
@@jigeah what numbers? Box office numbers? Tell me, how many Oscar’s has the MCU won over the course of 25-30 movies? Compare that to 14 Oscar’s to the LOTR trilogy
One of the craziest things about medieval battles is the reinforcements would ride /march for days non stop exhausting themselves just to REACH the battlefield AND THEN the FIGHT would ensue , how badass is that to give everything you’ve got just to reach the battlefield then The hard part starts while your exhausted, but somehow still find the energy to fight on 🫡💪 our ancient ancestors were some mf beasts
So true one of napoleon's famous battles were won because reinforcements forced marched and fought turning the tide. Same at gettysburg a corps forced Marched and wre exhausted but held the better ground which ultimately won the battle. Many examples the more you look.
That was not just in medieval europe but around the world since ancient times until world war one when they invented the planes and tanks don't forget the heavy equipments and armor they wore all the time fun fact the zulus would run with their bare foot for weeks before they fight i would die if i walked for one day😅
"The Horn of HELM HAMMERHAND shall sound in the deep one last time!" I think of that character all the time. If only he was still alive during this event.
Helm's "tactics" of blowing that horn every night before going out alone to hunt for orcs in the army besieging him, was both brave and insanely stupid. And ended up in the only logical way possible - one night, he didn't come back. Bravery at the cost of his own life and his defending force losing their leader.
Bernard Hill was blown away by Weta Workshop's craftsmanship when he saw that the inside of his armour was as richly detailed as the outside. No one would ever see it, but someone still took the time.
Eomer was his nephew and Eowyn his niece. He adopted both of them after his sister's and her husband's death and raised them alongside his son, like his own kids. After Saruman trapped and killed Theodred, Eomer became Theoden's heir. Which is why Grima tried to outlaw him, so Eowyn would become the only legitimate heir and Grima could creep on her to the max, marry her and become the regent of Rohan, basically ruling it.
7:11 Theoden's words have an additional impact when you remember that he idolized Aragorn during his childhood, the hero who rode at the side of his father against the hordes. Now, it's his turn, to draw sword alongside one of his childhood legends and ride out with him at his side.
Why would it be the end of his people? They were just a small force of... Elrond's? elves. Not his entire army, he needed his own warriors to guard his borders, remember, his realm borders Misty Mountains which are still full of orcs and goblins. So Haldir's elves were just a small detachment. And unlike Men, Elves still have an open invitation to sail to Valinor, the de-facto paradise of Middle-Earth, which Men simply can't do. And eventually, all elves did, with special exceptions being made for most of the Fellowship members, including Gimli, who was the only dwarf to ever go to Valinor. The sad part about Haldir's death was that he was Aragorn's life-long friend, if not his best friend. Which is most likely the biggest reason for him being there.
3:54 Very few people appreciate how brilliant this is: A ballista is fired with a projectile attached to a limited length rope. The hook at the end of the projectile is pulled by the rope and lands on a surface it can attach to. Instantly, the guys at the bottom start pulling on the rope, and through a system of pulleys, simultaneously drag a ladder up to the top, where the hook is attached. This causes a force to be applied to the hook, so it cant be easily cast off. While the defenders are trying to get the hook loose, a ladder full of soldiers arrives to throw them off. I swear, Saruman has thought of everything in this battle. From the explosive to blast a hole in the wall, through the easy to use crossbows for his soldiers, to this pulley system.
Watching two great kings charge out together and mow down their foes is a beautiful thing. I say now, as a former military officer, that "Forth Eorlingas" should be the official battle cry of all U S. and allied troops forever ❤️❤️
Only two things needed to win this battle, a longer bridge to the keep, and ride down it periodically with cavalry, I reckon 20-30 times and you can easily win.
Man seeing the amount of men that Eomer has recruited to fight on behalf of the King is always a sight to behold. Dude got banished and decided to round up a rebellion and take back Rohan. Badass.
When it comes to epic Fantasy and Sci-fi, Harry Potter and Star Wars are all cool and good and everything, but Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune will forever be the GOATs
I just cant imagine more perfect universet than this. Lotr and world of warcraft in the same decade. If thats not gonna make you smile. I dont know what will
There's nothing more epic than Lord of the Rings... masterpieces that will stand the test of time. No need for a remake cause no matter how much money you spend, nothing will ever compare.
Gimli is brave, to allow himself to be tossed headfirst into an army of uruk hai. Aragorn is braver, to jump into a place where gimli is already fighting.
Greatest Movie Series of all time! Memories of my teen years! I love LOTR movies and the Hobbit series, much loved are th books! Hope they could all put the story into a movie.
Did anyone else catch that quick glimpse of Arwen wearing red and battling on a horse at 9:39? Peter Jackson had written her character into the battle of Helms Deep as well, but decide in the end to cut her scenes. However, that quick shot of her in the background at 9:39 made it into the movie.
This scene has the angriest "wrath" charge imaginable, followed by the most beautifully hopeful charge imaginable. The Pelenor Field charge has the angriest, most beautiful, and most desperate charge, all at once.
Something I've only just realised now, but you can actually hear men chant "Heave" when they're pulling up Aragorn and Gimli. Now that's additional detail that helps make LOTR great.
- Theoden King stands alone...
- Not alone; Rohirrim... to the King!
Even after so many years, I get goosebumps...
Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn!!

The look on Theoden’s face when Eomer comes is absolutely priceless. It’s the face of him saying quietly “I knew you would come!”
"That's my boy" kind of energy for sure
@@Orbitalhaze Theoden adopted Eomer and Eowyn after his sister died and raised them as his own. So Eomer most definitely IS his boy ;]

And so were the horses who delivered them there and charged into the battle.

Got to meet Bernard Hill 2 years ago, signed my Middle Earth map.
I suspend all my disbelief because this is the most epic thing ever.
No my friend, belief is what brought us all here, embrace it and revel in it, for there is no greater contentment in life.
Not only is the costume design and prop superb, the detail in the sound effect cements that belief of it being real.
The thundering of the charging Rohirim.

Love how the king says his name with such love and admiration. Like a son and a brother .

Gimli heard the horn must be blown and was absolutely on board with it
He knew those music lessons would pay off someday!
Strongest lungs in middle earth

A visual effect and CGI of over 20 years ago. Still stunning

Sad death of the elf friend… the last thing he sees is his fallen elf comrades, and his last thought is “this is the end of my people” :(
His last thought most likely was "F*ck!!!, did I leave the immersion on????"
Why would it be the end of his people? They were just a small force of... Elrond's? elves.

Theoden is a G, mans got stabbed with a spear, grabbed another spear, and slayed the opp.
Gandalf is my Fav Character amongst a heartfelt plethora .
Watching legolas carry gimli away is always funny
Theodon was a true king. Leading by example, always in the front line leading the charge
Something I've only just realised now, but you can actually hear men chant "Heave" when they're pulling up Aragorn and Gimli. Now that's additional detail that helps make LOTR great.
