Legolas with three of the most precise arrow shots in history before defying all laws of physics swinging onto a full speed horse. Just the coolest dude ever
For an elf its not defying the laws of anything because he’s lighter than a hobbit. That’s why he could walk on the surface of snow in Fellowship when the rest had to wade through it.
@@carkodI like it the way it is. Overdone but somehow makes sense visually (sometimes visual sense is very different from realism). I know it shouldn't look like this in real life, but it looks perfectly well in a movie - in my opinion of course :)
I live in Queenstown. From my living room I look directly across to this location. I can see the rock outcrop where Aragorn fell. It’s only about 1 km from my house. It’s so beautiful here.
Costumes will always beat CGI. That's why these movies will age so well and 'The Hobbit' movies won't. I don't blame Peter, though. I know he wanted more practical effects but the timeline was way too short.
@@joedotphp What are you talking about? They literally had actors sweat entire buckets because they put them in extremely hot goblin costumes. The Hobbit doubled down on costumes more than even Lord of the Rings, with the the Dwarven costumes at times being so heavy with all the gear that the actors could barely carry them.
I've seen the entire trilogy so many times, and every time I come back to one of the scenes I STILL get chills. Nothing related to Tolkien's universe since gives me that. Peter Jackson poured his heart and soul into these movies. It's consistent in every medium that the property that made someone's career is always going to be better than what comes after it. Once someone has money, the drive just isn't there anymore.
For me Fellowship is my fav out of the trilogy. Purely for the nostalgia of seeing it in the cinema and the feel. They’re all epic masterpieces, Fellowship hits different for me.
the shot of the riders going over the hill is so wonderful. I watch it many times. Strong, capable men rising to the call of duty. It doesn't matter what lies over that hill, they ride to face it. The sound of the hooves, the banners waving in the wind. So much packed into a few seconds.
Whenever I watch the scenes of LoTR trilogy, I'm not just "watching" it. I'm living in that moment through my old memories. I love everything in the scenes of it. the sound, the scenary and characters. Truly the Greatest Of All Time.
2:33 I like how both teams try to hype themselves up moments before colliding. You can kind of see even the wargs in the front line in the background letting out one last “hype-haul/roar” to prepare themselves for the collision, presumably knowing it could be the last roar they ever make
At 1:58 when Aragorn and Éowyn locked eyes, gets me every time. So much was conveyed without a single word. Éowyn’s unspoken admiration and longing for Aragorn, and his bittersweet awareness of her feelings, create a quiet but intense emotional exchange, and the way he rides off, with Éowyn watching him, is a visual masterpiece.
He marries her (spelling:-( in the end, not the eternal life elf, right? Anyways thought her dads reaction was kinda positive, he said no, but accepted not only her courage but also her capabilities (as he got weaker)
@@annedejong1040 No, Boromir's brother Faramir marries her. Aragorn marries Arwen the half elf who chooses to relinquish her immortality and become a mortal Human
A few things with this that I love: 1. All the stuff happening in the background; you can see riders that got knocked off their mounts fighting each other on foot, other fights going on (when Aragorn picks up a spear to save Gimli you see a man on a horse get tackled by a Warg and its rider and Warg, orc, and horse all go over the cliff), plus stuff in the aftermath (you can see wounded Men crawling, orcs finished off by riders, one wounded guy getting a drink from another Rohirrim) 2. Legolas's facial dialogue when Theoden says to leave the dead. Without saying a word Orlando Bloom really conveys that Legolas feels betrayed by Theoden that they won't search for Aragorn and that he REALLY wants to search for him himself. And Theoden's pause shows he understands that but that HIS people come first.
They REALLY knew how to portray battles in this trilogy. So much chaos that you don’t even notice everything that’s happening unless you actually watch the scene multiple times. These movies will truly never be beat in any categories.
Well Legolas has finally caught on to what death is; he didn't quite understand with Gandalf in Moria, he just started to comprehend with Boromir at Amon Hen but here with one of his best friends seemingly gone he understands & is devastated
I wouldn't go that far. It's hard as hell to capture the fantasy genre well in cinema, and PJ obviously did a good job. But it can be a little hokey at times, or fall flat. This scene in particular was unnecessary and inconsequential, for example. We know Aragorn lives to tell the tale, so why put the audience in suspense of his death? Even people who are unfamiliar with the books would have seen the trailer and wondered why Aragorn was to die before the scenes of him fighting in the rain (Helm's Deep). I'd go on but I'll surely get cooked by the fans if I do lol.
1) he didn’t, couldn’t lift the second warg, 2) they were still resting against the ground, leverage, not benching, makes it so less ‘weight’ needs to be pushed It didn’t crush him to death but he didn’t bench and couldn’t even remove one warg himself
Nice little touch that it's always Legolas that doesn't handle death well, he'd have a child's understanding of it as he's never had to worry about it or deal with it being close to him until now. For him "death" is a temporary and physical thing only, he knows where his spirit will go and that his body will reform sooner or later (since he's a great and honorable hero it'd be sooner). But now that he cares about humans, hobbits and a dwarf, he has to deal with real death, permanent and unknowable and he has no practice with it.
Love how quickly Eowyn jumps into each role. Doesn’t panic, just holds Aragorn’s horse in the most ideal way for him. Gets ready herself for battle and then assumes command of civilians when ordered. Always reminds me of Aethelflaed the Lady of Mercia which Tolkien probably took some inspiration from.
@@OwenLikesGoatsdude, I watched all 5 seasons on Netflix (think it's 5) was kinda disappointed with the 6Kings Must Die movie even tho it was great to see Uhtred & friends again. But man the last season, the very last episode broke me. Spoilers here folks.... Just to see Uhtred of Babbenburg reclaim his birthright and they had a montages of having his father murdered by the Vikings and then raised by em and everything in btwn was so heart wrenching. I burst out I tears right in front of my girlfriend.
"Get me up there, im a rider! Ahhh!' I love that Gimli who has no skills at all in riding a horse, let alone charging into a battle on one, is brave enough to immediately order the Rohirrim soldiers to get him on the horse when Theoden orders the Riders into battle. Shows just how brave he really is, i doubt anyone would of blamed him if he stayed on foot but not our Gimli!!!
Can you all stop acting as it the ROP wanted the to do the same thing of this trilogy; or as if the same number of favorable odds that this original movies have is something easier to recreate?
@@AlucardSlender Why wouldn't ROP want to do a fighting scene as good as this one? And what favorable odds are we talking about when ROP is the most expensive tv series in history and has all the technological advancements the original movies never had?
I think about it now, & see how Theoden spoke to Eowyn. "Do this for me." when he sent her away. I wonder if Theoden was protecting Eowyn because he knew he'd die in this war & feared that Eomer would ride into battle & may die himself. Maybe he knew Eowyn was a strong leader & felt the need to protect her in order to make sure Rohan had someone capable enough to lead his people.
This is the only "maiden of Rohan that becomes a war hero" story we needed. It was cool and special. Now they're needlessly doing it AGAIN instead of giving us something unique. It makes what Eowyn did less significant.
@@nahor88Do you mean in Rings of Power? My issue with them trying to do that with Galadriel is the fact that she's one of the oldest living beings on Middle Earth. She doesn't fit the fiery, stubborn woman warrior type at all. Tolkien described her as tall, with a deep voice. She was incredibly cunning, too. I don't really get why they made her into such a generic character. I think having her be the shrewd tactician in a revenge plot could have been much more interesting - never getting her hands dirty herself, but manipulating others to do it for her (though even revenge itself seems like something she is beyond).
Legolas was already in shooting range and doing damage. Why did he have to charge to the front with the rest of the cavalry? It seems his bow could do more damage staying where he was.
Yes the Legolas bit is awesome, but for me the best shot is the shaky camera panning from the Rohan banner to Aragorn turning his horse around to lock eyes with Éowyn, then a couple shots later into the riders cresting the hill. Beautiful cinema, combined with the music; absolute masterpiece! Goosebumps every time.
First scene I saw of the Two Towers. I think it was part of some promo, which faded out just before the two forces clash together. God, I love these movies. Watch them once a year, just on principle and to remind me, that cinema can be like this.
Legolas scenes will never get old. These movies did so much right, and so much to inspire the man I've become today. They really made Legolas out to be the ultimate warrior - the shot of him lone on the hill, lobbing up missiles is glorious, and then it's immediately topped with that incredible horse mounting on the run! Yeah, him and Gimli's characters were cut back significantly from the books - but I feel like the movies still managed to give them plenty to establish them as epic badasses!
2:22 My dad still hate that scene with Legolas 😅. He keeps saying it's impossible to swing your body that way! He dosn't understand it's a movie or that Legoas is an elf who can do things all others can't do 😉.
@@leonardobraynen1524 No I am not crazy. Aragorn was a descendant of Elendil the Tall, who is also a descendant of Elros, the twin brother of Elrond (who was literally immortal and lived thousands of years). Elros chose to be mortal. So technically Aragorn is half human half elf. Blessed with long life and superb sword skills. And you know how badass elves were portrayed in the movies I didn’t understand your point.
This whole sequence is vital to seeing the leader that Theoden is without Wormtongue around: A very effective warrior (4:00) who is perfectly willing to risk himself, and a guy who makes multiple difficult decisions (keeping Eowyn in reserve, leaving the dead behind). The Aragorn fake-death thing seems a bit unnecessary, because this is about seeing Theoden in action for the first time.
This scene was a masterclass to ANY director. Heck, all of the films were. It's proof that costumes and practical effects will always be better than CGI. Old tech becomes more obvious with time. Good costumes and real effects are timeless.
am I the only one that thinks its funny that the sound the Warg makes as it goes off the cliff with Aragorn isn't a howl, or a snarl, but instead a throaty, "Woof!"
I love the way the first reaction when the group is aware of the attack is to protect the women and children which in reality is what happen. Actually everything about this scene is class. Even the bit ot steel sticking the wargs skull together who "killed" Aragon is class.
what I liked especially about this scene is that they made the common Rohan soldiers look capable and fearless. A very big contrast to how weak and helpless they made the gondorian soldiers in ROTK
Some of my favorite moments in this scene; 1. Aragorn & Théoden riding side by side in the charge. 2. Legolas checks to make sure Gimili is alright after his unceremonious dismount. 3. The Three Hunters doing their best to cover each other in a chaotic situation. 4. After dispatching an opponent Théoden has the awareness to notice the Warg coming up behind him, turn & stab it in the mouth in such a way it'll be a killshot
1:58 the scene and the music go so well. I really like the calvary riding the horse and the flag. In this film, I like Rohan more than Gondor because of the calvary
0:45 only problem i have with this scene... how the warg doesnt try to bite to horse eventhough it obviously wants to and is in the range to do it.. but for some reason, it doesnt attack and it lets the riders swordfight and shit
When they first collide into each other it reminds me of the same way it happens in Narnia when the tigers and jaguars first collide together in the final battle of the first film.
Gandalf (Ian McKellen) offers his help as the Rohan attempts to face down Saruman's armies. They soon discover how great the task before them truly is when they learn that his troops consist of 10,000 bloodthirsty creatures specially bred to fight to the death.
Before watching LOTR i couldn’t take fantasy (is that the correct genre? Things that were unbelievable in films) seriously. LOTR were the first films that were able to put me in their shoes and realise how terrifying it would have all been. It also gave me a respect for horses and how much of a role they’ve played in human life for millennia.
I know they aren’t necessarily aiming for realism being that there’s orcs, elves and dwarves and a bunch of other shit but I’ve always thought the orcs would’ve come out on top in this engagement because their mounts can also fight. Horses kind of just.. run. A warg is basically like riding a bear with a face that isn’t adorable. One warg is worth at least a couple extra soldiers
Anyone who doesn’t like Legolas’s jump swing onto the horse doesn’t actually understand physics and/or biomechanics. Based on the position of the horse when he turned his head, he did the only thing a lean, extremely fit bipedal being could’ve possibly done to get on a moving horse.

For an elf its not defying the laws of anything because he’s lighter than a hobbit. That’s why he could walk on the surface of snow in Fellowship when the rest had to wade through it.
At least it's more logical than the gravity defying falling Stones walk/jump in The Hobbit lol
That looked very fake, he should have been swung the other side, that would look more natural.

I'll never forget the audience reaction when Legolas hopped on the horse. Everybody was in a gasp of badassery
I looked at it just now. It is not physically possible.
@@bryanlim9817 Huh. Maybe elves are a magical race or something?
I wish I was there
@@bryanlim9817 It probably is if you're light enough like the elves and able to control momentum extremely well.
Yeah, that was my experience, as well.
That shot where Legolas is standing on the ridge line shooting away is memorable.
Iconic lobbing of long range missiles.
Always love it! Looooong range perfection.
Compare that to the cartoonesque betrayal of him in the 'barrel scene' in the Hobbit.
100 yards all day
He only shoots once or twice though , i remember it as he shot at least 10 before getting on the horse
I live in Queenstown. From my living room I look directly across to this location. I can see the rock outcrop where Aragorn fell.
It’s only about 1 km from my house. It’s so beautiful here.
Just mind the occasional plunging wargs and kings.
Nice girl
Watch out of the orcs
I envy you.
Is the meat still on the menu?
these orcs will always be 100x better than any cgi they can come up with

And a lot of reactors do not show it in their yt videos. I dont know why it is really big factor in battle build up.
The masculine urge to join the Eorlingas cavalry charge, safeguarding the innocent with your King and comrades.
That shot of Aragorn turning his horse around in slow motion and nodding farewell to Eowyn!
Like yes who wouldn't fall for that man right? 😅
Him turning away is also him saying, "Sorry, but I'm not the right man for you."

am I the only one that thinks its funny that the sound the Warg makes as it goes off the cliff with Aragorn isn't a howl, or a snarl, but instead a throaty, "Woof!"
I love the way the first reaction when the group is aware of the attack is to protect the women and children which in reality is what happen. Actually everything about this scene is class. Even the bit ot steel sticking the wargs skull together who "killed" Aragon is class.
King Theoden was a savage.
what I liked especially about this scene is that they made the common Rohan soldiers look capable and fearless. A very big contrast to how weak and helpless they made the gondorian soldiers in ROTK
The music is soo good, masterpieces every movie
This movie is so good.!!there is no other movies like this ever..!!everything seem real
2:13 yes, let’s do archery with really loose, baggy sleeves and unrestrained, flowing hair.
Some of my favorite moments in this scene; 1. Aragorn & Théoden riding side by side in the charge. 2. Legolas checks to make sure Gimili is alright after his unceremonious dismount. 3. The Three Hunters doing their best to cover each other in a chaotic situation. 4. After dispatching an opponent Théoden has the awareness to notice the Warg coming up behind him, turn & stab it in the mouth in such a way it'll be a killshot
1:58 the scene and the music go so well. I really like the calvary riding the horse and the flag. In this film, I like Rohan more than Gondor because of the calvary
0:45 only problem i have with this scene... how the warg doesnt try to bite to horse eventhough it obviously wants to and is in the range to do it.. but for some reason, it doesnt attack and it lets the riders swordfight and shit
This one scene is better then, 250 seasons of that ring power crap
Orlando bloom can play a great character. He is good. I like him as an elf and a pirate.
The men of the west saved the world we love from darkness ✊🏽 greatest story of our time. Fantasy died with man fighting for the age of men
One of the best for the greatest movie ever made.
Before we had RUclips videos to watch over and over we all spent $150 that month to rewatch scenes like this is the theatre.
So eine Epische Szene 🎉🎉
So eine Musik und so welche Szenen habe ich bei Ringe der Macht vergebens gesucht wtf 😂😂
Gimli overshooting the saddle was a great touch
I can never get tired of this scene
J’adore ce film
Still the best battle ever filmed
When they first collide into each other it reminds me of the same way it happens in Narnia when the tigers and jaguars first collide together in the final battle of the first film.
2:55 BFME2 Gimli's Leaping Charge voice xD
Gandalf (Ian McKellen) offers his help as the Rohan attempts to face down Saruman's armies. They soon discover how great the task before them truly is when they learn that his troops consist of 10,000 bloodthirsty creatures specially bred to fight to the death.
Before watching LOTR i couldn’t take fantasy (is that the correct genre? Things that were unbelievable in films) seriously.
LOTR were the first films that were able to put me in their shoes and realise how terrifying it would have all been.
It also gave me a respect for horses and how much of a role they’ve played in human life for millennia.
I wouldn’t want to be Gimili in this battle. They couldn’t kill him while alive so they tried to kill him with their body weight
I know they aren’t necessarily aiming for realism being that there’s orcs, elves and dwarves and a bunch of other shit but I’ve always thought the orcs would’ve come out on top in this engagement because their mounts can also fight. Horses kind of just.. run. A warg is basically like riding a bear with a face that isn’t adorable. One warg is worth at least a couple extra soldiers
2:22 Legolas stunt...just awesome
Una de las mejores trilogías de peliculas epicas de tipo mediaval que e visto ❤❤❤❤❤
5:33 Legolas is usually so chill but when he thinks Aragorn's dead he turns into Alonzo Harris
2:12 one of the bravest scene in LOTR
Film kesukaan ku, gk ada bosan bosan nya menonton film the lorf of the rings
One of the most memorable scenes.
Orlando Bloom would be the perfect actor for a Chester Bennington biopic.
Anyone who doesn’t like Legolas’s jump swing onto the horse doesn’t actually understand physics and/or biomechanics. Based on the position of the horse when he turned his head, he did the only thing a lean, extremely fit bipedal being could’ve possibly done to get on a moving horse.
It’s funny how the CGI looks quite bad in today’s world but at the time looked amazing
this desperate struggle was better than Helm's Deep. everyone was in the open with no escape.
Thank u lotr for inspiring the best game ever, warcraft.
Every side character be like 3:24
Legolas i want you on those rocks and Hawkeye i want you on that Roof Eyes on Everything
Huh.
I understood that reference.
"Better clinch up, *LEGOLAS!*

2:22 as a kid i always wondered how did legolas avoided kicking gimli in the face
My favourite friends 😢
Guess how many arms the dwarf has? When he breaks the orc's neck, he suddenly has 3 arms :D
Watching all yours videos from Philippines...
I hate when wargs attack. Whenever they do, I’m always like, “Hey! KNOCK IT OFF!”
The King looks to be wearing less armor than his men unless it is hidden under his cloak.
