I'm not sure about making similar vids with Game of Thrones, since I'll prob get banned xD
Kimer Lorens you won't add a borders around the screen and only use key scenes just like you did here. good work
Battle of the bastards is the best medieval battle I’ve ever seen! That single shot sequence during the early part of the battle following Jon Snow was soooo F**King sick!
Simply Epic!
go please
where did you get this in 4k man????
To this day, historians and scientists alike are baffled by how King Theoden’s horse could carry the weight of his massive steel balls
lmfao
What a boss, rides ahead of his men and goes down with his ship in another life as captain of the Titanic
Cause that horse had equally strong and heavy balls of steel
You had me on the first half not gonna lie.
Holy 💩I'm 😲
15 years and this still a master piece
Yea bt this is an epic
80 Years Actually#BookNerdHere
Wow didn’t realise it had been that long already. Still my favourite films.
and kids born 15 years ago are now 15.. jesus fk we are old XD
@@cbp117 me
No one is talking about the horse on the left at 3:00 still charging and crushing the orcs even after losing its rider. A true war horse.
Now checked it, he's an absolute legend. Fighting to the death!
A true legend
That horse was crazy af
Horses are herd animals and will always follow other horses. Brave horse!
King Horse-oden, lord of the horses of the Rohirrim third only to Shadowfax and Theoden’s steed. He shall neigh in glory as he rides riderless into battle! Songs shall be sung of his great valour and glory as he stares into the eyes of the Dark Enemy’s forces, Orc, Goblin, Dunlings, Easterlings, Mumakills, and more!
"What can men do against us reckless hate?"
"Ride out and meet them."
"For death and glory?"
"For Rohan. For your people."
“Fell deeds awake! Now for wrath, now for ruin, and a red dawn! Forth Eorlingas!”
*such reckless hate
Aragorn truly spoke like a wise king here.
Remember friends.
Marriage is temporary, but the calvary charge is eternal.
ERE THE SUN RISES! DEATH! DEAAAAATH!!
Cavalry*
You have much to teach us.
Amen... i cried at how beautiful this scene is...lol im not even lying lol. i can feel it when they are all yelling death... where my brothers go i go as well... maybe some understand maybe some dont.
I'll let you charge, ill be at the firebase on a cannon crew listening to ACDC, droppin artillery in the Orc lines.
“We cannot break the lines of Mordor.”
“No, we cannot. But we WILL meet them in battle nevertheless.”
So freakin epic!
Aragorn: 6000 spears will not break the line of mordor......
Buy they did......
Kamikaze worked well in fiction
Courage Merry, courage for our friends.
"We cannot break the lines of mordor"
*breaks lines of mordor*
Problem for the Orcs is, that land was not Mordor ;P It was Gondor, on a flat land perfect for horse charges.
I love how Peter just phoned up EVERY horse owner in New Zealand so he could use as many real life extras for this charge. Just. The love that went into making these movies
I think he did that to save every dollar he can. CGI isn't a cheap technology.
@@ahmetakgun5358 Well what were they going to do? Buy a bunch of horses and then sell them once filming ended?
If I get a time machine, I'm going back to be an extra in this scene.
One of the most interesting things I learned is most of the Rohirrim riders were women dressed as men, because most equestrian sport participants in NZ (and most western countries) are women
@@evilbred974 All hail the horse girls who grew up and became expert horse women!
@@AlexandraBondArt That’s acting.
Can you even begin to imagine how terrifying it would be to hear “DEATH!!!” as a battle cry? Like, all 6000+ of those warriors and horses know full well that they are riding straight to their end. They know that, and have completely accepted it. THEY. HAVE. NO. FEAR. And they are 100% determined to dedicate every last fiber of their being, every scrap of their remaining lifeforce and willpower to bring every last one of those orcs to their graves right along with them. The sheer conviction just shakes me to my core every time, and they’re FICTIONAL!
That Death cry gives me chills everytime! One of my favorite scenes in movie history.
This 💯💯💯
The moment the violin hits I knew the greatest scene in movie history has occured.
A red day..a sword day..ere the sun rises.
This is really moving and terrifying, but it's a bit different from the book and I think is even better there.
Theoden gives his speech, they charge, "And then all the host of Rohan burst into song, and they sang as they slew, for the joy of battle was on them, and the sound of their singing that was fair and terrible came even to the City."
After Theoden has died, Eomer finds him and puts on a tough look and basically tells everyone not to cry 'cause it was a good death. Then he finds Eowyn.
"Éowyn, Éowyn!' he cried at last: 'Éowyn, how come you here? What madness or devilry is this? Death, death, death! Death take us all!'
Then without taking counsel or waiting for the approach of the men of the City, he spurred headlong back to the front of the great host, and blew a horn, and cried aloud for the onset. Over the field rang his clear voice calling: 'Death! Ride, ride to ruin and the world's ending!'
And with that the host began to move. But the Rohirrim sang no more. Death they cried with one voice loud and terrible, and gathering speed like a great tide their battle swept about their fallen king and passed, roaring away southwards."
First these guys come at you singing, they don't fear you, or even take you seriously. They just want to kill you and sing in joy for the opportunity.
Then your great general has died and the battle is going badly, but something else has happened as well, and now they are pissed. Or actually gone mad with suicidal frenzy for vengance. The guys who moments ago were singing because they liked killing so much, are now riding at you full speed, completly disregarding their own safety and yelling DEATH in unison, from the top of their lungs. Good luck.
I ENVY those who were able to see this first in theaters...
It was big time epic, I recall.
You wouldn't believe how it felt, mate.
Yes. Lucky them.
3X in theaters. Very lucky.
Unforgettable. Imagine, when closing credits showed up, it was PAINFUL. Back to reality...
Sorry EndGame, you can't beat this with your 'Assemble' scene...
Endgames scene is way better
@@thehighground4920 did you know, that Russo Bros. was inspired by this scene?
@@LYOVSXXX no
The Endgame one was pretty generic ngl. The ones in Infinity War (the Wakandan charge and Thor's arrival) were pretty good, but still not as good as this.
Why people try to bring Endgame into this? Why not Twilight, when vampires and... what's them hairy things... werewolves, are charging each other across the field? Or Three Amigos against a Mexican gang horde? Or in Police Academy, in that Blue Oyster scene, when flamboyant local dancers are charging at those police cadets?
I remember reading the book and getting choked up during the Ride of the Rohirrim chapter. It was the one part of the movies that I couldn’t wait to see on screen.
Packed theater, the distant horn sounding their arrival, Theoden’s speech, the cry of Death, the charge, the music. Seriously the best movie moment in my life.
Can you quote the scene here from the book? 🥺
@@marlonquintana3466 “At that sound the bent shape of the king sprang suddenly erect. Tall and proud he seemed again; and rising in his stirrups he cried in a loud voice, more clear than any there had ever heard a mortal man achieve before:
Arise, arise, Riders of Theoden!
Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!
spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!
With that he seized a great horn from Guthlaf his banner-bearer, and he blew such a blast upon it that it burst asunder. And straightway all the horns in the host were lifted up in music, and the blowing of the horns of Rohan in that hour was like a storm upon the plain and a thunder in the mountains.
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!
Suddenly the king cried to Snowmane and the horse sprang away. Behind him his banner blew in the wind, white horse upon a field of green, but he outpaced it. After him thundered the knights of his house, but he was ever before them. Eomer rode there, the white horsetail on his helm floating in his speed, and the front of the first eored roared like a breaker foaming to the shore, but Theoden could not be overtaken. Fey he seemed, or the battle-fury of his fathers ran like new fire in his veins, and he was borne up on Snowmane like a god of old, even as Orome the Great in the battle of the Valar when the world was young. his golden shield was uncovered, and lo! it shone like an image of the Sun, and the grass flamed into green about the white feet of his steed. For morning came, morning and a wind from the sea; and darkness was removed, and the hosts of Mordor wailed, and terror took them, and they fled, and died, and the hoofs of wrath rode over them. And then all the host of Rohan burst into song, and they sang as they slew, for the joy of battle was on them, and the sound of their singing that was fair and terrible came even to the City.”
Legend has it, Eomer went through the entire army and kept going south screaming, riding straight into the stories of myth and legend.
Lmao
he screamed and ride into the future to become judge dredd
@@locafellahl And then later as the main guy from the Doom movie.
I remember myself, 11 years old, going to the cinema to see the movie for the first time. I’d passed days, weeks and months waiting for this moment, for this battle scene that would define the outcome of all. When I first witnessed this cavalry charge, I felt like I could never again see something as epic as this. 17 years have passed since then, and still I haven’t seen something as epic. Best moments of my life! Thank you, Tolkien! Thank you, LOTR! Thank you, Peter Jackson!
Голубая сталь
This comment gave me feels
I absolutely feel you! I was around that age as well when i saw it in the theatres with my dad. Nothing, i say, NOTHING will ever top this! I will remember it till the day i die! Thanks to Tolkien and the entire cast and crew of these films!
The movie industry will peaked. Its sad to see them fumble around in the dark, thinking GGI will shield them from the obviousness their failure. Hopefully someday people will an equal passion like Peter Jackson, will once again have the means and willl to inspire a generation. Until this.. The internet is forever, of and I whole heartily recommended the extended edition.
I was 12. I feel you, man. Nothing will ever beat it.
The music, the speech, the angle, and the charge. Everything is perfect. 😭
What speech? The motivational speech of King Théoden was cut. Damn video.
Trueee
Death! Who yells that when they charge? So badass!
BANNERLORD WHEN
Just like that. Perfect, cuz Tolkien was a true writer.
Children who have known the "Charge for battle" through End Game will never know the goosebumps that the LOTR gave...this is one of the most legendary scenes of movie history
they will know bro, and when they did they will feel betrayed and disappointed. this trilogy is in the ethereal-level of epicness.
I do. And i am extremely glad I do.
i show this to my lilsis and she say this far better then End Game charge
Theoden just just scream to his men to bring forth the bows and arrows, then when the elephants are closing theoden's men shoot arrows at the same time as theoden's men move backwards. it will basically be a arrow fight between the arrow-men on the elephants vs the arrow-men on the ground.
The Rohan soldiers can shoot arrows on both the oliphants and the men on the oliphants.
Ghosts may not even be needed to win the war..... // Expert
some people compare that to this....
theres no logic left in this world
To this day I still haven't seen battle scenes better than Lord of the rings. I get goosebumps just watching.
Gladiator has an amazing opening battle.
Theoden just just scream to his men to bring forth the bows and arrows, then when the elephants are closing theoden's men shoot arrows at the same time as theoden's men move backwards. it will basically be a arrow fight between the arrow-men on the elephants vs the arrow-men on the ground.

The most epic moment in cinematic history.
Nope, the best epic moment in cinematic history is the battle of helms deep,when the rohirim charged from top of the hill.

I think we can all agree that any momen the rohirim charge, it’s guaranteed to be the most epic scene in cinematic history.

@@sebastianvakarian9773 It was utterly reckless to do the charge, the odds were not in the favour of the Rohirrim.
HAHAHAHAHAHA I'M CHOKED
The kids don't realize that these movies were the origin of all the massive cg battles that they take for granted today. Pellenor Fields still holds up as the best massive battle in cinema history imo. Just like with the first Jurassic Park, nothing compares to the use of practical effects with cgi used to boost it.
It makes me think of a line from the movie The World's End:
"As I sat up there, blood on my knuckles, beer down my shirt, sick on my shoes, knowing in my heart life would never feel this good again... And you know what? It never did."
We haven't witnessed anything quite like it.
@@ano_nym yeah… pirates of teh caribbean 1,2,3
LOTR 1,2,3 and movies around 2000-2009 looked good tbh.
probably the last era where directors were given complete freedom to utilise their skills and techniques and was given proper time.
oh
@@quintusfabiusmaximus8700 Pirates were great, at least one and two, but they can't compete with LotR.
@@ano_nym ik im taking about the quality of their work in terms of design and asthetic. it looks good than the 5th pirates
@@quintusfabiusmaximus8700 oh, okay. Yeah, they certainly looked great.
I love the moment when the Orcs realize they can't do shit against the Rohirrim.
Rohirrim cavalry charges are legendary in middle earth, that’s why Sauron wanted Saruman to take them off the board. I mean, they even out-cavalried the haradrim oliephant riders.
@@lucasmaloneywordsmith8661 that was after aragorn's arrival and the witch Kings death.
@@kennylindsay268 they were already starting to take the mûmikil/oliphaunts out. Then the Witch King came in and tried to break them. And got broken by Eowyn and Merry instead.
@@danielstephens1185 true but when aragorn arrived it was game over for the orcs and haradrim.
@@lucasmaloneywordsmith8661 Sauron and Saruman should have just focused on one enemy at a time (Gondor first). In this battle Sauron, had Trolls, Oliephants, Nazghul, etc. If he had them at Helms Deep, they probably would have won.
Also its unrealistic for horses to charge so many orcs and not trip and fall.
It's amazing to see how much CGI has advanced but no one will ever be able to beat this
It looks real. Almost like it really happened.
@@atmisguile because the orcs were real people in costume as opposed to in the hobbit where all of the orcs were CGI
I think most CGI looks like shit these days. I think it's just because it's overused. It looked pretty damn bad in the last hobbit movie fights. It looked great in the LOTR films though.
Like in the hobbit, the leader of the dwarves and every dwarven soldier was CGI... Where in the LOTR, all important characters and characters at the front of shots were always real. Apparently it was like this in the Hobbit because they "ran out of time".
Thomas Chaney it’s like Jurassic park, its a classic / legendary piece in CGI history
@@taylorparrish7638 CGI will only be as good as people can make it. It can be as bad as the Scorpion king or as good as Avatar

2:46 is one of the best extras in the history of cinema. This guy is SO JAZZED to kill orcs.
We need him to be in the next LOTR movie, if we ever get another lol
2:46
When Peter Jackson filmed the charge, he only wanted extras that read the book, or at least knew this part of the book, so that they understand the significance of the scene. And that's how we got legends like this guy.
That is so cool! Those few seconds of this extra are so intense, it's an awesome memory to have and to look back to as times goes by. Good for him.
That's the Mason Order eagle my friend.
ممكن نتعرف
What you mean? I didn't get it
@@robertrobert2460 the lord of the rings movies are this great for a number of reasons, but one of the most important ones is definitely Peter Jackson's eye for detail and casting.
I am coming here just to confirm GoT couldn’t beat that
К сожалению, битва себя не оправдала. Драконы были топ, но все было настолько темно что ничего видно не было
Game of thrones didn't come close
The Dothraki retards won't live to witness this Rohirrim epicness.
Yo but the final cersei vs Danny is still left...
The Kamal Kartik who the fuck cares about that the night king was the main threat
The single most powerful emotion throughout the charge "you didn't come to our aid but we have come to yours".
Gondor could not.
And Rohan coming was good policy. Fight the Enemy now, when you can unite and be stronger.
This is by FAR the greatest calvary charge ever put to film. The entire trilogy is an unparalleled masterpiece. I do not think i will see another that rivals this in my lifetime.
Its a very different charge but for drama and music the one at the end of Excalibur is very stiring too.
This is why Lord of the rings is the greatest fantasy series in existence, comparing this to game of thrones would be pointless.
Yes friend, but in the end it also benefits from the popularity that Game of Thrones has had, many people have joined the world of fantastic literature thanks to this series, and interest in the Lord of the Rings also shot up as a result of the serie. Thanks to Martin's universe many people have discovered Tolkien's great and insurmountable universe, everything is profit.
Honestly, the only thing that GOT has that LOTR will never come near are the titties and borderline porno scenes.
The Game of Thrones book are amazing, and really can't be compared to LOTR since they are so different. Yes, the later seasons of GoT were less then spectacular, but that doesn't change how crazy of an achievement the show and books were. Seriously, not every fucking fantasy out there needs to be measured against LoTR. Malazan, The Wheel of Time, the Witcher, the Stormlight Archives, A Game of Thrones/Song of Ice and Fire etc are all completely different in pretty much all ways from LoTR and cannot be compared because of how different they are... Fantasy has evolved far beyond the wonderful story that Tolkien created. I absolutely love both series for very different reasons.
@@Robofish12 Song of Ice and Fire is so fucking hard to read through. And i say that as someone who has read almost all (just started witcher) the others you just mentioned.
LotR is the Grandfather to the epic fantasy genera, and that is important to know.
While i do agree that all those are very different to each other they all fall under the umbrella of epic fantasy.
Now, what Game of thrones did to my eyes at least, is that it pushed that everyone likes fantasy, sadly there are so many people that claim they do not like fantasy yet they watch or read fantasy all the freaking time it is just not called that.
I would say TES is better
They totally wrecked us, but i respect them.

You can stop the charge now.
Em... Please?
RIP Bernard Hill, King of Rohan.
I came here to see a real Calvary charge after watching the dothraki's attempt against the night king's undead horde
Same here xD
And the result would’ve been the same had this been the charge. They’d get run through like shit through a tin horn.
blackonefifty but it’s still a very problematic battle plan
Big East agree. there’s just really not a good way to attack an army so large with so few light cavalry.

The king of cinematic battles . 16 years old jheeze . I've just watched the new game of thrones and these films were so ahead of there time . Imo still the greatest set of films ever made.
Really all the battles of lord of the rings and The hobbit beats GOT...
The only trilogies even worth comparing to Lord of the Rings is the original star wars trilogy and the Christian bale dark knight trilogy
Larry Legend is the GOAT you have an incredible taste of film Sir . The Dark knight series is without question the greatest set of super hero movies . The dark knight is a 10/10 film , with Heath ledger giving us one of the best pieces of acting I've seen
Dont forget that GOT is TV show, The Lord of the ring is film.
Larry Legend is the GOAT as a big marvel fan I can relate but I think that the dark knight trilogy is very good , but I would say the DCEU is awful with casting and general film quality
I can't even count how many times I've re-watched this scene
"Fire at will"
-Sees Éomer, flees at will.
I love how they were completely hopeless up until their arrival, and then went into absolute rage mode
Its said the Riders of Rohan were modeled after the Norsemen from ancient Scandanavia, hence the round shields and shape of their helmets. And just like the Vikings, they were absolutely fearless in the face of death, and were not afraid to die in battle. Which is why the Riders of Rohan are in my opinion one of the most unstoppable forces in this whole franchise. Between a absolutely slaughtering the Uruks at Helms Deep, then beating the ever loving crap out of the Orcs at Minas Tirith, they were warriors worthy of song and praise
@@mandalorian1994 Yet the cavalry charge itself and the setting is similar to the Winged Hussars in the battle of Vienna where they saved the day by crushing the Ottoman advance
@@mandalorian1994 I have heard they were based on the Germanic people.
@@ano_nym They're based on the Anglo-Saxons (the English). The Anglo-Saxons come from the Jutland peninsula (modern day Denmark) and were kin to the Norse. The Norse and English languages in the tenth century were mutually intelligible (to an extent), both peoples lived in (and fought over) modern day England, and both worshipped the same gods and goddesses before they converted to Christianity. J.R.R. Tolkien was a linguistics professor with a special interest in Germanic languages, especially Old English and Gothic. He made his own translation of Beowulf (which I believe was only published after his death), and many of the names of the Rohirrim come from Old English (while other characters are drawn from the Old Norse language). J.R.R. Tolkien longed for a world where the Anglo-Saxons were great horseman (in history, they did not have an extensive cavalry culture) that repelled the Normans and prevented the Norman conquest. In the Rohirrim, he created this.
Achilles once said: Imagine a king who fights his own battles. Wouldn't that be a sight.

honestly though this scene for all it's pure awesome has the opposite problem that the dothraki charge has, and that's that this cavalry charge gets FAR further into the enemy than their momentum should allow. the orcs are more like blades of grass despite even setting up spears in the front. Charging head first into a formation of spear men is one of the dumbest things cavalry can do
that rant aside, this charge and the dothraki ones are equally awesome to me for opposite reasons; this ones builds hope, the dothraki one crushes it
@J E yeah that's not what I'm talking about. what I'm talking about is how when they're already in amongst the orcs, said orcs get trampled like nothing. Granted trampling something the size of a human on a horse the horse is obviously gonna win, but it will at least slow the horse down a LITTLE bit, and given how many orcs there are...
just look at 2:59 in the video, that's what I was talking about. ramming into a demoralized enemy is still ramming into an enemy, yet there they are trampling them with absolutely zero loss of momentum.
on a side-note don't misunderstand me, I still LOVE this scene, I even once wrote a paper on it in high school because of how awesome it is. All I'm saying is that it suffers from the single real flaw in the lord of the rings trilogy, and that's that at times it doesn't feel like there's any real danger to the frankly overpowered protagonists.
No this is not how cavarly works, a horse can't just run full speed over a 100 orcs.

I laughed so hard my eyes are watering. Thank you good sir for this laughter
That's fucking funny dude!
Lmao
😄 😄 😄 😄
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA xddddddddddddd
I was 8 years old when I first saw this in theaters. 18 years later, nothing has even come close to this scene, let alone top it.
Thank you Peter Jackson & crew for the greatest, most epic charge & battle in cinema history
Today I have seen, in 3 weeks, all 3 movies of the Lord of the Rings in the cinema, and I can say that it has been the best decision I have made in my life to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this perfect and wonderful saga.
"Fire at will!"
"which one is Will?!"
turtlehater2 The blue guy!
Wish they shot will turner so that we wouldnt experince potcs 5
He's the freckle faced kid next to the robot
“They’re all Will!”
The one on the horse
GOT thats how you make a battle scene.
U dumb
Wedge It’s the truth dumbass
GoT knows how to make a great battle scene. They just kinda failed the Battle of Winterfell. Battle of the Bastards is top tier and the battle on the Wall is pretty good.
Maikeru Uchiha90 must admit GoT does know how to make a battle scene, especially visually, this is shown during all of them, it’s just as of late the writing has been on the weaker side which has angered people, such as the amount of plot armour and conclusions to particular characters. Whereas in the earlier seasons when they had the source material of Martin’s books, the storylines were (a majority of the time) strong and characters weren’t protected by such factors
Yeah yeah yeah they know how to do it but it will never be the same as Lord of the Rings...
A cavalry charge like this did happen, but was actually 3x the size. During the Battle of Vienna, the Ottoman force numbering 150,000 was besieging the city and 16,000 defenders. A relief force numbering 75,000 arrived a month after the siege had began and immediately attacked the Ottomans in the rear. The Polish King then led 18,000 horsemen straight down into the demoralized Ottoman ranks. I don’t know if Tolkein took inspiration from this battle, but there are definitely similarities. I’m glad this movie exists so we can see what a charge of that magnitude was like
Every time I see this scene I get chills. Nothing will ever top this, cinema peaked here.
The Greatest scene in the trilogy
also
The Greatest Extra in the trilogy 2:47
That dude was pumped
I could feel the intensity
Someone give that man a raise
He was the first try-hard.
Hahaha! Fuck you! You had me laughing loud for 2 minutes straight at 1:30 A,M. and now i cannot sleep. hahaha! :)
18 years later, still the best movie in history
epic , nothing comes near.
the whole trilogy will never never be touched in the next 100 years of film even
1000@@mclovinyousaucin
One of the greatest and most epic scenes in cinema history. Unbelievably inspiring and well done.
I love how that epic music stopped for a while so the spectator could listen to orcs being totally crashed by calvary
In 2019.. Theoden will turn around after the speech and say "Just kidding, guys. Lol. Let's go home."
Subversion of Expectation.
"It's unexpected so it's good."

True
Well they at least they admit they are subversive.
“Gondor calls for aid!”

“And Rohan will answer!”

So here the role for Theoden, we don't care what you say...as long as everything you say can find their place in the epic book of the most epic quotes ever said
And Rohan will not answer.
Theodon:Let's party.
@@parvezamin939 Nah, Phoebe said it right, you need to watch the movie again.
20 years have passed and it is still the most epic cavalry charge in the cinema's history
One of the most glorioust scenes in movie history
I love that one dude at 2:47 he’s so ready for whatever
General Billdog another thing I love about LOTR is the extras get some individual screen time and a bit of character. In too many shows the extras are a background group that ebb and flow to emphasize the hero.
Here we see individuals being led.
Thats Gamling, he is one of Theodens aides in the movies, in Two Towers he puts on the kings armor b4 the battle
Alberto Barreto ah, that dude. I remember that actors face. I gotta go back and rewatch/finish reading the series this summer
That man has true warrior blood in him. He's like "I don't know what's going to happen but f*ck it I'm going to beat the outer living cr%p out of it! COME AT ME!!!!"

Orcs: We not gonna lie, we had them in the first half.

@@craimaxblack let me guess... english isn't your first language?
the best cavalry charge scene i ever watched
''I swear you will never see anything like this again!''
15 years ago and still 20 times better than GOT battle scenes.
Real BlackRed your a joke
This is the difference between something great (GOT) and a Masterpiece (LOTR)
How does it feel to be incredibly wrong?
Its funny how ur trying to make the money an excuse, do you know how hard did they work 15 years ago to make that CGI, today they could make it 1000x times faster and better. Stop with the excuses please.
@@dani67286 You speak the truth sir!
People actually said that the latest episode in game of thrones was going to be better than this... boy were they wrong
And the fact that you actually died.
The night king's greatest victory was cucking Jon out his whole character arc by dieing to fuckin Arya...
The Night King yeah you would know
David Bessey terrible writing wasn’t it
@@1EVERTONION this is what happens when you jump past the actual books and have to rush the story.
The moment you wish you could recreate in any total war game...but never could
it still feels god damn fantastic wrecking plebs with a good'ol charge
@@chriseffpunkt4333 Agreed!
im 32 years old now, and this is my favorite movie trilogy of all time. i watched the return of the king twice at release day.
Imagine being an orc, raiding the city, and then a couple thousand dudes on horses ride over a hill and start screaming *DEATH!* and then charge at you with no concern for if they live or not.
6000 spears!
Darn, even those heartless creatures felt true fear
When everyone is there to kill. Make sure you're the one doing the killing. Your side that is.
They're not dudes. They're men.
The Rohirrim: The Horse Lords. Bred for War.
Just imagine it.
You're in the front line of the King's Company, facing down more orcs than you've ever seen while Gondor burns. Your horse starts to feel heavy and everyone around you starts shaking. You've probably got a family back home that you will likely never see again. Your mount keeps bucking beneath you and shifting, its anxious cries twisting with those around you. You can't distinguish friends amidst the mass of Riders surrounding you. Then suddenly, Theoden's sword hits your spear as he rides down the line and you're snapping back to attention. You may not make it back to your family, but this is for them either way. If Gondor is lost, then they'll be next. You face almost certain death and the horns blare in your ear. Then you move. Slow at first before you can get into a gallop. Because you dont know if you are doing the right thing, Your King is beside you, and the orcs are coming closer and closer, and still you know Death is on your side.
Then you ride for ruin, and the world's ending.
This isn't an original comment. It was on another video just like this one, by someone else.
Myen that was priceless
and DEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATH!!!!!!
Winged hussars..
CUT!!!
Again people...
Still getting goosebumps in 2021 to this scene.
Goosebumps from this scene are eternal
Simply the greatest cavalry charge I've ever seen! The way Theoden addresses the Rohirrim literally give goosebumps.
Better than cringe indian movies izit?
“While the orcs might have forgot about Rohan, Rohan certainly didn’t forget about them”
Heavens door!!!
Just shut up take my like you bastard... God damn it took me a minute to figure out and I fucken died!!!
When the polish-german hussarians stomped the mslims in front of vienna. good times
Well orcs kinda *"forgot"* about Rohan
Keean Trinity this has a good ending to
I just love the look of gothmog's face, it looks like he just realized at the moment that the Rohirrim were not just men, but madmen
Hardened by conflict.
Berserkers in battle.
The house of Eorl was not a thatched barn where brigands went to drink.
The arrogant are ever self deceptive.
Saruman and Sauron are no exception.
It's why they call it the law of attraction.
The bastard just realized he fucked with the wrong people.
ramsay bolton face when the vale came rohan style
@@TheRapGeneral1the Battle of Bastards was pathetic and can't be even remotely compared to this greatness.
Because they mther fcking vikings
The fact that it was made in late 2000's and still after almost 18+ years still remains an epic scene, that present day cinema still can't beat it.
27 years of my life and 21 years of this movie. I have never experience same thrills and chills equal to this particular scene.
This was, is, and will be one of the most epic scene of the movie for entire cinema history.
These movies weren’t just ahead of their time: they are timeless.
EDIT: yay thx for the likes!
I saw the trilogy yesterday, is a masterpiece.
They are wonderful, but nothing beats reading the words of Tolkien. A close second was the BBC radio production broadcast in the late 70s, but this, a strong third.
You really did not have to make an edit to that comment..
Lord Humungus
Well I did anyway. ;)
@@gunner678 Oh, I would give anything to see Bombadil and Tolkien version of Saruman death.
nothing even comes close to The Lord of the RIngs. Nothing.
I agree
Endgame is way ahead
David Massawa pissy little superheroes have nothing on this legend of film and literature.
@TuscanHunter31 LOTR franchise got over $5B
@TuscanHunter31 LOTR & TheHobbbits was over $50B
TuscanHunter31 Yeah money is everything right? Hahaha what a great philosophy to have. Ignorant.
The best scene ever in cinematic history
I remember the first time I saw this immortal masterpiece of a scene at the cinema with my father, way back in 2003 (when I was 9): it left a lasting impression on me and I will never forget it.
For me this is the highest and most epic moment in the history of cinema.
Great edit.
*Glory to Peter Jackson and Bernard Hill (R.I.P.).*
there is nothing Scarier then a man heading toward his demise screaming "DEATH" at the top of his lungs, knowing full well that they're going to take as many people out with them in a hail of fury.
Imagine staring down 6,000 of them at once....

And he is EXACTLY the way I imagined Eomer.

" ride for ruins and worlds ending" - the corona charge
My favorite scene out of all three books. I can't remember how many times I reread this scene. The movie did not disappoint.
When I was a kid, I cried in this scene. Honestly, im cryin now too
Been watching it since it came out. Literally never got through without crying.
Did you touch yourself while you are crying?!
I aint crying ...i just got something in my eye 😢
Неплохо, клоун, неплохо. Жаль это единственный твой язык.
Cos you're a soft bitch
This was less than 10,000 Rohan riders against 200,000 orcs.
In Game of Thrones it was suppose to be 40,000 Dothraki against 100,000, what we got was more or less 5,000 Dothraki riders vs darkness and shadows
Ikr. I was so confused by how little Dothraki there were compared to the insane number that charged the Lannister army. This GoT season has been stupidly weak. I almost thought that the dragon didn't die because it was just so unbelievably ridiculous. Like how did they not notice the ships? How did they get that good at shooting? How did they get that many arrows? How did they reload that fast? The show definitely took a nose-dive this season. I'm definitely missing the original Starks and Lannister conflict.
They were at least 200K undead.
It was actually 6,000 of the Rohirrim against 100-150k of orcs, Southrons, and Easterlings.
@@Anonymous-or2nz According to the wiki, it was 100k wights, 12 white walkers, 2 giants, and a dragon. That and plus whoever was killed.
I think they said around 14 k dothraki were present at the Battle of winterfell
Greatest trilogy of all time and the greatest battle you'll ever see on screen. So much despair, so much heroism. Listen to the music in this scene from start til the end, the sound of the war horns, warshouts with the sunrise in the background, the sun itself pushing away the darkness in the sky - so beautiful, so epic. A true masterpiece, forever timeless! I can't believe these movies are 20 years old.
