“A day may come where this shall no longer be the greatest battle in tv or movie history”
*looks at battle of Winterfell*
“But it is not this Day!”
Not today
@@santiagoz.s.1024 GoT is still good. But we have to see the difference. Storytellingwise those two are completely different. While LotR is about epicness and the Giant clash of the evil Force. GoT is more Character driven. the GoT episode relied on suspense and making you anxious.
And they did a good Job on that matter. thats why the cinematografic shots of the battles were completely different. In GoT the Battle was merely a toolbut not the Point, while here it was all about the epicness. the directors never cared about having an amazing battle like here it was about the feelings it transported.
Just compare the choosen MUsic from both and you see the massive difference.
@@santiagoz.s.1024 I'm not arguing that the battle itself was utter shit with no tactic at all. wqhat i mean is the directors didn't really care about that. The never wanted us the feeling we had in the battle of helms deep here. the Battle was merely a tool for where their focus was actually on. the suspense before the battle was done really good and the sad music over the fighting in the end act was impressive aswell.
I completely agree on what you say. but i came to the conclusion that wasn't the point of the show all along. the directors wanted to achieve something different and did that part well. seeing the directors commentary on the battle helped me understanding that.
Also even the whole enemy army was pointless and the battle itself. that all was made clear all along. It was just about the one character of the Night King all along.
Trust me i am not an GoT Fanboy that wants to defend it to my death. but i am trying to understand why it was how it was instead of just saying it was shit. Cause while the battle was ridiculous bullshit, the Episode itself was quite fascinating, wasn't it?
@@santiagoz.s.1024 you're the fanboy here since lotr is meant for stupid fanboys to understand while GoT is more realistic and nuanced
@@danghoang7455 got is so realistic with those battle tactics
I'm here to anounce that the archer who killed the first orc in the battle of Helmsdeep (2:30), has sadly past away today. His name was Bruce Allpres. R.i.p.
F
Rip in peace my man Bruce Allpres.
RIP
Rest in peace. Though he made the mistake that initiated the battle, we got to see one of the most the most spectacular battle scenes of all time. All because of him
RIP
The fact that there's actual lighting over the actors and scenery despite it being night time is such a breath of fresh air. Movies nowadays make everything so dark you can barely see for 'mood' setting. It can be dark for the characters but the audience is the ones why have to see everything
Ikr?
During production, Sean Astin (Samwise) asked Andrew Lesnie (director of photography), "But where is the lighting suppose to be coming from?" Lesnie replied, "The same place as the music."
Es que antes se grababa con pelicula, y se requería de mucha iluminación para que la imagen se notara y no se llenara de grano. Ahora se usan cámaras digitales, por lo que algunos directores deciden grabar a oscuras para generar inmersión
@@willhudson5687 Heh
God, We gotta tell this to DC. Why is it so fucking dark, DC?!
"Then I shall die as one of them", such a great line from Viggo he was the perfect actor to play Aragorn
most of the actors on the trilogy is fit to their respective roles
Nothing against Nic Cage.. but thank god Vigo was picked ahead of him for Aragorn
@@vB3ATz Nick almost casted as Superman
Honestly, I would prefer Sean to him and Vigo to Boromir. Sean is such a great actor and somehow he looked more "manly" and in books, Aragorn is described as such, but still better than Nick Cage for sure, that would be failure for sure 😂
@@_mitric_n ya that's a good point but Sean usually has to die in most of his movies his just one of those great actors who gets great roles but almost always does 😆
After that disappointing Game of Thrones battle, I had to come cleanse myself with a proper night battle. Lord of the Rings and Tolkien forever ❤
@Merciless Freak battle of bastards was the closest. But not on lotr level.
Anonymous, What a lack luster come back for stating an opinion.
@@titoiswack3524 an annoying fanboy who couldn't accept the fact that LOTR still is miles ahead of that GOT porn fest lol

People actually thought game of thrones would top this? Lmao
They probably never watch a real movie.
It really was better than this
Anonymous but it wasn’t 😂
8 seasons of build up for a dagger. Lmaaoooooo
NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THIS ONE.
@@JRSsu89 how is the plot related to the battle scene in general? The scene , setting and direction of the battle in winterfell was really . Better than this imo .
I love the design of the Uruk-hai. The armor is intimidating and memorable, their weapons are crude, their battle cries are thunderous and demoralizing. A worthy adversary in battle. Props to the team that made Tolkien's work come to life. I know Tolkien-purists don't like the films, but they got millions of people into LOTR and Tolkien's other works.
Could you imagine having to fight one of them fuckers? Like even if you were a trained warrior.
Seeing them breathing through their mask and roaring like lions.
I'd be shitting my pants.
Imagine if Sauron used them instead of the rag-tag collection of orcs (which he guided well, to his credit). Minas Tirith wouldn't have made it.
@@FauxRegard Uruk Hai are a superior breed of orc. They even fought each other. When Frodo was locked in the tower and they were searching his items, one was an orc and the other was an uruk. Turned out the Uruk ended up winning the fight and kicked him down the ladder
"The scum tried to knife me!! KILL HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I love the books have probably read them 20-30 times. I love the lore and I could point out everything that was changed in the movies in a heartbeat. I still love the LOTR movies and they are 100% respectful to the lore and the original work. Do I wish Tom Bombadil, the barrow downs, the scouring of the Shire etc were included. Sure but it would have took at least 4 maybe 5 movies to do that. Now the Hobbit grinds my gears. Making a fairly short book into a trilogy adding tons of characters and things that didn't happen in the book to pad it into a trilogy, it felt like a cash grab. The cinematography was beautiful. I wish they would release a cut of the trilogy condensed and edited into one movie leaving out all the extraneous padding.
@@FauxRegardSauron had the numerical superiority Saruman doesn’t.
Rest in peace Bernard Hill, you were an excellent Theoden.
Still can’t believe in 2002 they could film something of this quality that still looks better than some modern films

@@enlightenmentdoesntcomeeas5337 damn.
Younger people who never saw this in the movies don’t understand just how intense this scene was . The NOISE of the roaring and stomping was deafening! Everyone in the place was open mouthed and silent …I genuinely felt my palms sweaty like i was about to be involved in some heavy shit . I will never forget that experience
And the best part about that? Completely unscripted. One of the Uruk Kai extras just started stamping his halberd out of boredom, and the rest joined in... Peter Jackson liked it, and let'em continue. The result? A truly epic sequence just before the battle.
I grew up watching these glad I did cause I lived this scene and the trilogy of the lord of the rings
@@Tank50usholy that is amazing. It’s like with Gandalf hitting his head and lurtz the Uruk hai captain who licked the bloody dagger which was actually real and threw it at viggo who deflected it then viggo kicking the helmet and breaking his toes
As a gen z raised in a traditional family i can confirm that my family watch lotr every summer and i still enjoy the fight scenes, story and the musical score

They need to re-release this to theaters. There are generations that need this.
I agree with you!
They actually re-released them a month ago.
Forget the younger generations, I need this!!
People will Shit on this masterpiece of a trilogy because they ain't marvel movies
@@SourChicken1856 wtf are you talking about? It still hasn't happened and it won't
The fact that the filming of Helm’s Deep was long, exhausting and hellish in itself, only added to the gritty aesthetic and realism in this battle. Fucking legendary.

The moment those ladders straight to rise, and that musical score in that moment, are etched in to my mind for all eternity. Love it so damn much.
everytime I see a ladder rising it plays in my head too
You know it's a legendary movie when the director hire real Uruk-Hai to make the Movie 🤩
A time when diversity wasn't forced into movies
Can't believe this movie is 20 years old... what a masterpiece...
I watched them all the cinema. Was almost 15 when Fellowship came out. I haven't seen anything else as epic as these films since. If these are ever remade they'll be riddled with CGI, but the practical effects here are timeless.
I am 23 and i've seen these movies multiples times in mi life, till this day i wonder how was the feeling of seeing this movies for the FIRST TIME when they came out 20 YEARS AGO( 20 FKING YEARS AGO!) . I probably watched this when i was 5 years old, this battle (and a lot of scenes) where always in my mind even if i didn't knew what really was going on with the plot.
@@Jackcarr87 and so, they have. the hobbit movies are riddled with pure CGI and little to no practical effects. and it shows.
I watched all 3 when they came out, this particular battle scene was spectacular in the theaters, felt like you were really there.
@@aztekenen1 the trilogy has cgi, but for early 2000s effects this was groundbreaking. If it wasn't for these movies we wouldn't have gotten motion capture as we know it
This is what the Battle of Winterfell said will beat?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Joke of the Year lol xD
Not even close. Jokes on them
They said it would the longest on tv
... No one said that.
The elf's reaction after getting hit by the other elf's quiver + the other elf having huge troubles firing arrows next to Aragorn at 4:00 gets me every time 😂
Poor acting skill😂
I've been watching these movies at least once a year for almost 20 years now and I have never seen this. :D
HAHAHAA
You ruined it for me now
i will never unseen it now
This will forever hold up against the test of time and I'll never cease to get goosebumps everytime I watch it

This is gold
I know, right? It's like the Uruk-hai weren't emotionally involved until good ol' Jerry ate an arrow.
Why are they inside the castle? They should go outside. Also get rid of bows and arrows, and have a suicide cavalry charge right at the beginning. Oh wait, they aren't idiots and used that old nogging and the writers actually planned a good battle.
@RandomUser221 Legolas, not Aragorn. He was trained so well he screw all the mythology
that was good :D
Lol
I came here just to remind myself what a perfectly sane and viable defense looks and feels like.
LOL finally thank you I had SO many issues. Also the fact that we can actually see what is happening is nice
This trilogy will live forever..the story, battles, music, actors, graphics...everything was exceptionally perfect.
Ok, sitting here 11-28-22 and HOW does this look better than any other high budget “epic” film released today ?!
Timeless masterpieces these films.
Ikr? Now it’s the first day of December 2022.
the orcs, legit, are more tactical than the whole army of Jon and Daenerys.
😂indeed
please dont compare the masterpiece with shit
@Ahmet Hakan *chuckle* Just imagine if this is what Gimli actually said to Theoden before the battle.
I say the orcs will win the battle against these two. I'm happy I dropped the television series after Daenerys scene in the tower of the mages. At this point, I will stick, with the books and that's it.
These are Uruk Hai. A superior breed of Orcs. But I see your point.
Props to the camera crew. They risked their life to get close to the Uruks and get some amazing close ups
😂😂😂
Mighty dangerous filming right there.
They don't get paid enough!
They better got their big ass bonuses after that

最後の角笛を鳴らして数匹の騎馬隊が突撃して行くシーンは最高のシーンであり、またエオメルの部隊とガンダルフが丘上から突撃するシーンは最高傑作です。このシーンがCMで映った時早く映画館で観たいと駆られた感情は忘れません。
This battle is pure chaos and I absolutely love it. Everyone is throwing hands and everyone is catching hands. We’ll never see anything like this again.
Everyone: *fighting for their lives*
Legolas & Gimli: *counting kills*
I love that part so much. As a soldier who had seen combat Tolkien knew that camaraderie and humor are the best survival techniques in a fight.
Assa Darlingtoni It's so cool how over the top badass those two are.
sandor and tormund were doing this too lmao
Assa Darlingtoni in the books, legolas, gimli, and Aragorn are the three best fighters in the world, like by orders of magnitude.
Clarence Callahan never mention Winterfell in the same sentence as Lord of the Rings. LoTR deserves better than that lmao.
“I won’t have no pointy-ear out-scoring me!!”
So begins the most beloved rivalry in fantasy movies.
The book doesn't play on their playful rivalry as much; but they do have a great friendship. Gimli is much more funny in the movie but has awesome lines in the book. For example, I was cracking up when he reunited with Pippin & Merry at Isengaard. He said something to the effect of “Hammer and tongs! I am so torn between rage and joy, that if I do not burst, it will be a marvel!” Rage and joy lol
Ohhh that’s what gimli says , all my times of watching this movie I couldn’t understand what he said “no pointy ear” that’s funny
Don't forget straight after he nutshots the orc on the ladder
@2:58
That's what Kirk said.
Aragorn says hold in elvish after the first orc is killed because the shot hit the weak spot and he figured it had to be one of the elves that took the shot
Yes yes, everyone knows this. Common knoweldge, we seen the video.
@Damsen no no not everyone knows this, this is not common knowledge it is something you'd have to look up or come across...
@@blitzwarzone342 If you say so lol
@@damsen978 I didnt know
I didn't know. Why would aragorn say to hold when they're in range. They don't start firing properly for ages.
This will forever be my childhood favourite movie scene, and it still is today. What a masterpiece of a trilogy.
Not a cellphone in sight, just people (and uruk-hai) living in the moment.
not for long lol
🤣. Imagine we get a remake and see one of the urak-hai swiping right on tinder
uruk hai are people too
Boomers be like

Uruk-Hai lives matters
This is so much better than looking at a black screen for 80 minutes!
Got has become a kid show
It’s very easy to make tv shows and movies. That’s why there’s hardly any mistakes because of how easy it is.
That battle of Winterfell is so bad.
Mansour Q.
I’ve seen kids shows with better battles than the Battle of Winterfell.
I personally had no problems with it. Get your eyes checked
This entire battle, and even the scenes leading up to it (like Aragorn finally arriving at Helm’s Deep), are why Two Towers is my favourite of the trilogy. Absolutely amazing battle that still stands up, and even excels, compared to other fantasy battle scenes of modern movies.
I don’t think any scene builds more tension than this. Cinema perfection.
In case you're wondering, yes this is still the best battle scene in fantasy world
Correction.
This is the best battle scene of all time!
@@eddmario well i can agree on that for sure
@@kronks6262 really? Battle of helm's deep have a very good camera work, epicness, extremly tightly choreographed, has superior production value, superior cgi, better tension and many more. Sorry but battle of helm's deep is waaay better
@@kronks6262 Stop it
Oh so absolutely the greatest battle in cinema history. Nothing can beat it. Minas Tirith is one of the only battles I can think of that comes close, and that was part of the same series as this
The fact that this is the battle that all other/ future high fantasy battles compares to or tries to live up to. After all these years. Says a lot about this scene. Truly a masterpiece.
I love how Ukraine is using LOTR language when speaking about the war today. They are like Rohan, even in how their president was a Russian puppet at first (Yanukovitch). Russia is like Isengard, and China is like Mordor. Haldir's Galadhrim are the aid sent from the West, like HIMARS.

@@gustavrodriguez910 the mythology transmitted through folklore and children’s books is supposed to be reflecting reality. And with the war of Russia vs the West, the Lord of the Rings narrative fits particularly well.

Definitely an experience, watching the LOTR trilogy in theaters.
it was, pearl in my childhood memory
seeing this in theatre as a kid with my dad, brother and cousins will probably always go down as best thing I ever watched in history. you just had to be there
forget the battle strategy, formation, all that... as a viewer/audience, THIS is how you do LIGHTING for a night battle scene. Not that other one with the suicide cavalry thing...
It's a good thing you said to forget about strategy formation and all that other useless shit because LOTR doesn't exactly have that stuff either most of the time. You just think it does and are mad at the GOT tv show for not giving you your fanfiction ending.
@@Regenmacher175 lol bro, relax. my biggest critique of GOT isn't even the battle itself. my problem is the way it was shot...as someone working in the broadcast/media production industry, it just ticked me off a lot
@@Regenmacher175 So you're one of those who thinks people hate on GOT because "they didnt get the ending they wanted". Watch any video explaining the trash writing of the last seasons and you'll see why we hated it.
@@eyrindirkharneus3815 I watched those. They weren't very convincing tbh because they always left out elements that had been established in the show but the people who made those videos didn't bother watching the show closely enough either it seems. What you get as a result is thousands of videos with superficial criticisms that I don't find very persuasive and certainly none of what they point out is worth the anger I witnessed online so the problem is not with the show but with the people watching it. Sorry the show you had in your head wasn't the one you got but you judge what's on screen, not the show that's in your head and you sound kinda silly when your criticism is something like "trebuchets in front of walls = show bad".
Even that suicide charge was done wrong. It brought no weight in it. I've seen a suicide charge 10x better from an anime.
I don't know why but I totally love the fact that Aragorn command the Elves in their language....that shows the bond that Aragorn has with the Elves

'Incredible' doesn't do them justice
Hobbit was alright, but it did have its issues
I would pay money to forget this movie and rewatch it
Game of thrones happened like 15 years after this, yet were unsuccessful to surpass this masterpiece. The whole trilogy was way ahead of its time. Cinematography, effects, music, acting. Everything makes sense and makes it one of the best movie trilogies ever created, if not the best !
For me now, there's only two fantasy worlds worth watching, Warhammer and LoTR. The other are questionable and GoT is just pure shit.

20 years on, still the the greatest fantasy battle to grace our screens.
they spent six months filming this battle and had thousands of real actors, very little CGI was used
It shows
Yup which made this movie much more amazing
Indeed, there are only CGI of the arrow volley-fire, the troops in the "very wide shot" of the battle like when the "Orc folks" marching, yelling & charing outside the wall. Everythings else from the castle model ( 3 of them btw ) to every close-up shot, some decent view of the 2 side fighting is all people & practical use. Event the explosion of the wall was a real, of the small castle model. They only blow it up once, so it was a "one take shot".
The "Urukai" just mean "Orc folks" in orcs language, or "black speech".
okay
That's not true at all. If you watch the behind the scenes, they had like 30 or 40 Uruk-Hai. WETA actually came up with some AI that made armies of CG soldiers move in somewhat realistic formations. That's why it looks so good.
I like how Aragorn says "hold" in Elvish because he assumes an Elf just made that epic shot 😂
james or cus the majority of archers were elves
@@YanosProductions ...So he still assumes an Elf made that shot?
Actually he says “alto” in spanish, cause he speaks spanish so good.
Uruk dies
*sad uruk noise*
That mistake was one of the most badass scenes. Hit the shot perfectly, stopped the orcs from taunting them, and saved time. Such epicness.
I have watched lotr like 20 times and I will watch this even in 2060 , and still the best movie ever
That scene when archers firing over their heads give me chills and tears. What a scene
The lucky stray shot was so well placed and accurate, Aragorn thought that a trigger happy elf had commit insubordination so he shouted an order in elvish telling them to hold fire.
So true! I've never thought of it that way 😂
Damn nice observation
Wow, it's been soon 20 years and I never realized that! Great observation!
THEN I SHALL DIE AS ONE OF THEM
Why am I seeing all these points in comment sections of Lord of the rings videos? Lol I've watched these hundreds of times how have I not ever wondered about these ? I need to watch them a different way I guess lol . Lots of interesting things I never thought about when watching this

Common Sense imagine going battle against ice zombies and not using flammable oil, i mean WTF. Dothrakies didn’t even have dragon glasses and Melissandres arrival was unplanned.
The battle of winterfell was far from shit. It was a great battle but this battle is just in a league of its own
Common Sense You’re overrating this battle as well. Calling the battle of winterfell shit is just being a haterx
I love how Gimli was so proud at the fact that he took out two of them, then Legolas said "I am on Seventeen". That's when the sibling rivalry kicks in 🤣and he went into maximum mode.
This and Saving Private Ryan's opening scene are two of the best battle scenes ever. Change my mind.
Came here to challenge you. Stopped and really thought about it. You are right. You are completely freaking right!
Fun fact: Gimli's actor was supposed to let some of the orc actors climb the ladder on to the wall to show some of his axe handling skills, but instead he just kept hitting the actors before they got on the wall.
this made me chuckle
Seems like the smarter plan XD
I mean, it is a better approach if this was a real fight.
Gimli is too short for the crossbowmen to hit him behind the wall even if they knew he's there, which also means Uruks climbing up don't see him. And there they are trying to jump on the wall only to get greeted by an armored midget with an axe.
His actor is also kind of an asshole. The stunt really didn’t care for him as he would hit them with full force when they were shooting battle scenes
He’s not getting out scored
Aragorn commanded an army and rallied everybody until Gandalf showed up. Jon Snow screamed at a dragon.

You can tell just how much heart was put into this trilogy. “We had no interest in putting our messages into this movie. But we thought we should honor Tolkien by putting his message into it”
-Peter Jackson, 2002
And basically zero heart was put into Rings of Power…
And this trilogy is still a masterpiece in 2024 :)

Don't bash it too much, maybe it still has hope to get backup
@@thepieofyourlife4799 Nah, ROP is not 'good' now and never will be. It exists solely to ruin the legacy of Tolkien. Contradicts the LOTR canon and timeline (characters who didn't even meet apparently met according to Amazon) completely, has real-world political messaging shoved into it (Why are there black elves? It doesn’t make sense!!), the acting is terrible ("tHeRe iS a TeMpEsT iN mE"), the shots are awful ('Galadriel' moving down to the side to dodge an arrow while on a horse and then swings at an Orc that isn't even close to her, somehow killing it)… it’s just a disgrace.
Well yea the RoP is made by Amazon what did you expect
I expected Invincible like decency.
We all know how cool it is and how well this scene has been written. But can we talk about how we're able to see a night battle clearly without having to max out brightness
cough season 8 GOT
Dumb and Dumber : "wait that's illegal"
To be fair, the long night looks much better in its 4K home release than it did on cable television so you have to compare fairly
@@kevinkwok3460 If you need 4K to make your scene look good then you still have a problem. I can watch this same scene in a trash TV from 2010 and it will still look gucci
Makes just wanna watch the whole thing now lol
If you haven’t seen the lord of the rings. Go watch the movies right now. I promise you that you won’t be disappointed. 😊
Greatest movie of all time.
Amen king
17 years later still the best battle ever. winterfell was a big disappointment
battle of Minas Tirith for me but this is still amazing
Bro 10,000 urik hi that's fucking insane and that battle is dammn right amazing
Minas Tirith still the best
lotr has a lot of great enjoyable battles unlike that bullshit they gave us in game of thrones and they dare call that a great battle.
Wait, what? There is actually a better strategy than a suicide cavalry charge, putting catapults on the frontline, and putting troops in front of defenses?
so they say people learn from history. i guess not.
Also, what was up with how dark it was. In LOTR a battle can be fought at night without you needing to increase the contrast to work out what is going on.
I mean, these guys still have the problem of ogling at the enemy force instead of bombarding them with arrows and catapults before they get close, but yeah.
Nah it’s cuz season 7-8 wasn’t based on the books and was made by those retards d&d. I wish the books were out and they made season 6-8 based on the books
@Variant _ because arrows have an optimal range and a max range. That old guy was lucky with his shot. Most of the volley would be coordinated for the optimal range.
Aragorn told to to hold, because if every shmuck released after that first shot, most of the volley could be wasted.
These movies were the peak of television. They were made the same year I was born, yet I’ve never seen anything go beyond LOTR
*rain starts to fall*
"Oh of course it's going to fucking rain on top of everything"
2:31 thus, the legend is born. This dude is actually the one who started the domino effect, he released the arrow > the war started> the uruk hai losing their mind and started to be aggressive > the rohirrim appeared > Rohan won > Isengard lost > Mordor was the only powerhouse left > Mordor attacked Gondor > Rohan helped gondor, since they won against Isengard (because of this legend) > Gondor and Rohan alliances win the war > Gondor and Rohan distracted Mordor forces> the ring destroyed. All this because of this guy. Legend said if Frodo gave the ring to him, he would attach the ring to his arrow, and fire it straight to the mountain of doom
Yep, this guy was the real hero
Damn. The affect of one old dudes arm giving out is that big
@@-tfu-4113 WTF soo funny HAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh right Uruk-hai was there to stare the fort down for 3 weeks and go play COD if this guy didn't shoot the arrow. Fucking Domino mate!
This is the man that could’ve single handedly defeat Sauron
Almost 20 years and these movies haven't aged a day.
Must be the power of The Ring.
@@IudiciumInfernalum
Underrated comment.
This is the best war in all of the LOTR movies
I love how grim and bleak this scene comes off. You can feel the hopelessness of what’s actually unfolding.
"Can we do this tomorrow? It's raining."
hahahaha
That alone would have made it an easy massacre of the orcs. They would have had no traction whatsoever, all their siege weapons would have gotten stuck, and they would have just piled up on each other.
You sound like an Altdorf noble.
🤣🤣
😂😂😂
So much better than battle for Winterfell. Almost 20 years....
One of the best battle scenes in a movie
Will never ever get tired watching LOTR
I just noticed the tiny detail at 2:38 where, when the orc falls, the arrow gets pushed through his back
I always thought of this when I watched this scene, but I didn't care to see it
I just noticed it, too-
ew
lol
😂😂😂
Thos are Necros
It'd be weird if the arrow didn't go through and just held him up 🤣🤣
Never noticed that. I love the trilogy, but the fact that I'm always finding new little details is another reason to love it more
I just watched The Battle of Winterfell..... Not even close to the epicness of this battle.
I couldn't see shit in the Battle of Winterfell. People making excuses that it was done to raise tension but this battle had just as much tension if not more and I could still see shit.
@Merciless Freak it's gotta be Arya Stark and Lyanna Mormont. That battle belonged to the kids.
@@justBeOrDontB7568 Do not forget Jorah fucking Mormont
Couldn't even seen anything.
@@FireflyFalafel Nah, I liked the darkness, it's just more realistic and threatening. Looking back at this LOTR battle, it feels like they're standing under a spotlight in the middle of the night. Muh.
This scene is gold 04:50
I could watch the battle on helms deep on repeat and still be in awe
The fact everyone is just ripping on GoT season 8 is amazing
Pretty much any Lotr video too
we do not kneel
Yes, totally deserved
@@at0micl0bster exactly and i like it... S8 was a shit ride. We saw only battle of bastards and battle of blackwater bay in game of thrones which can be considered good.
Bruh don't.. long night complete shit tactics
Kings landing..... like wtf kind of siege is that?
I'm not even gonna fucking talk about high garden either cuz yeah lannister army marches.
Next scene it's captured like wtf...
They surrendered at the sight of the lannister army? Or died from seeing it.
Long night, more like "Blackness"
Kings landing siege could've been better.... instead of relying on a quick end to the stupid season by that shit of a siege, a entire army outside the walls of kings landing possing no threat cuz they don't even have siege weapons, nor camps miles away shown.
Also Cersei wasting her time putting 20,000 golden company troops outside the gates.... bruh she became a Jon Snow (or just a Snow, she disgraced Twyin lannister).
Literally lord of the rings and the hobbit showed better sieges than the garbage GoT.
Also lord of the rings and the hobbit revolves around a big fantasy world than GoT.
As GoT seems to be about man kind. Sure it talks about white walkers, dragons, children of the forest. But that's nothing compared to tolkiens books explaining the different beings of evil and good. Plus the first age, second age then third age and so on forth
Legolas: "Their armour is weak at the neck, and beneath the arms"
Elves who are likely thousands of years old, been in numerous battles, and who's extremely keen eyes, even in the dark of night, can clearly see the neck and armpits are only covered by chainmail: "Thanks captain obvious!"
I think it was more for the men than the elves. ;)
@@KurtisC93 is that why he spoke it in elvish? while stationed on the Deeping wall about 400 feet away from the nearest man? (Excluding Aragorn)
@@jonathanbradley4896 Oh. Right. Of course.
😏
I know u r joking... Just for my peace of mind, not all elves are thousand years old, elves can be killed in battle u know... And also in battle like this, with probably 1:6 enemy ratio, chances of winning were slim, I think morale would be pretty low and times like this even basic common sense is lost or overlooked... That's why it is Generals are so imp
@Dang Memes 😂😂
RIP Bernard Hill (1944-2024)
We will never ever forget you.
This a very good battle. 👍
Bra this was to much epicness for my 7 year old eyes back then
@Muffinator maybe 😂😂
I was 7 too bud, still absolutely loved every minute. Used to buy all the toy swords and bows too hahaha good times
@@maxwilliams9229 bra the toys back in the day was worth the 10$ lol good times
I was 6 when I first saw this I think lmao
I was 6. Loved every second of it. Me and my four year old brother used to run around with a toy sword and a make shift bow using a rubber band and clothes hanger acting as Aragorn and legolas.
I like how the old man that shot that first orc looked all worried as if he was at fault for "throwing the first punch" and therefore starting the battle. There was gonna be a battle no matter what lol
So true! I was always much more made up that he actually took one down with his accidental misfire than just hit plate armour and just piss one off lol
I think the idea was, that they believed Gandalfs promise that he will come in the morning with support, so prolonging the battle start was a good idea, and that shot cut short the theatrics that Uruk-hai were doing. Its probably a miniscule difference, but still they were trying to maximize their chances. Helms Deep was a strong fortress, but that army was not to be taken lightly.
I always viewed it as enraging them. Like berserk mode when they get angry.
It's probably the most realistic thing for warbows, it is hard to hold it the string that long. Hollywood tho.
That old man is the bowmaster of Rohan.
This absolutely terrified me as a little kid, but I think thats why it felt so real and made me appreciate the battle even more.
كنت في العشرين من عمري حين رئيت ملك الخواتم
كنت اظن انني املك الغد في ذلك العمر
والان اصبح هذا المشهد ذكريات
سبحان الله
4:29 this legendary sound can't be missing in any epic battle
_"Yo! Wilhelm scream!"_ - ProtonJon.
One of the loudest ones yet damn
No problemo dear, It's just common whenever I or my brother accidentally sit down on a pin cushion like landing on a comfortable couch LOL 🤣
why did it have to be the wilhelm scream, why did it have to be that....
I beg, they are just putting the sound into battle scenes, just to make movie nerds happy.
This comment section is flooded with Battle of Winterfell comments. I never even saw Game of Thrones, I'm just here to enjoy this one battle scene again.
Same bro
Same here
Watch the first four seasons, leave it at that.
@@ladistar Some people were suggesting that one should just stop after S6 & pretend season 7 & 8 never existed.
Never watched it either ...
Fun fact: Sean Astin once asked LOTR cinematographer Andrew Lesnie where the lighting in this scene is coming from, as it takes place during a thunderstorm with clouds covering the moonlight. Andrew replied "the same place the music is coming from".
This music man... it gives goosebumps every time
