    Tacticalsquad 5 I personally love the Endgame scene because it’s beings from all over the universe coming together to take out the biggest villain they have faced. I love this scene because I’m just a sucker for epic charges into battle. Also, I’ve never seen a single army literally trample over an opposing army. This is just my preference, but I prefer charge scenes where both armies clash with each other, like GOT’s Battle of the Bastards, The Lion the With and the Wardrobe, and ultimately, Endgame. I love both scenes, but I would prefer Endgame’s one. I had literal chills during that while the Rohirrim charge didn’t give me chills. Like I’ve said, personal preference.

    The Ride of the Rohirrim is so emotional because it's such a meaningful culmination of so many character's arcs: Merry, who feared being left behind arrives, Eowyn who had despaired has found purpose, Eomer who had been fighting Orcs against orders now doing so in the biggest battle of their time, Theoden who once cowered away from death now charging into death without fear, Gandalf's gamble that stopping to save Rohan first from Saruman would enable them to come to the aid of Gondor in time, and Pippin risking himself to get the signal out starting the whole thing. The music with the fully matured and powerful King of the Golden Hall theme ties it back together.

It abandons all mysticysism and Wizardy thats theoughout the film to show the audience that its the sheer will of men that makes the most diffference in this world.

    Lore-wise, chanting "death" had a double meaning. Yes, they were charging towards certain death. But also in the Tolkien universe, death is actually a good thing. You go to a place of eternal happiness and bliss and even the elves don't know what happens to you. Morgoth and Sauron both worked to corrupt death's meaning however and make men fear it. This is actually how Sauron destroyed Numenor, making men fear death. So when Theodan and company chant "DEATH!" at the top of their lungs, they're actually defying Sauron/Morgoth and demonstrating faith to Eä. So it is a war chant, but it's also supposed to be symbolic of mankind's defiance of evil.

    That little detail of King Theoden outpacing the whole cavalry charge at 5:19 keeping with the details written by Tolkien himself in the book is one of the many reasons this film, and the trilogy as a whole, could be considered a triumph of cinema staying faithful to the source material whilst simultaneously delivering an iconic scene worth watching again and again.

    It wasn’t really that faithful to the source material though. It was probably more faithful than most adaptations, but it did change a fair bit. I think the worst offender was actually the rest of this battle. What was a fairly normal but epic battle in the books gets turned into an action sequence of Legolas stunts and a giant army of unkillable ghost soldiers.

A cheesy CGI fest, with little to no substance to it's actual writing. These movies will not be talked about in the decades to come. LOTR will always remain among the classics and the best of what the filmindustry has to offer.

    The World of Men is tiny, insignificant. Tolkein often reflects upon this in our grand cities, cultures, we are dwarfed by the magnitude of the world we foster. But Man is not meant to marvel at The World. Man is not meant to be encumbered by long life. Man embraces what he can obtain on this meagre rock; and so fortuitously found company with the Halfling, who will give aplenty.

    But when you consider Return of the King's cinema run in 2003, there really was no better film to watch on the big screen. For the sheer magnitude of an epic fantastical adventure, and the amalgamation of feelings it presented to the audience, Return of the King is disputably the greatest cinematic experience ever created. No matter how hyperbolic that may sound, it feels very true.

This scene is one of the top 5 greatest moments I ever experienced in the cinema. The sound was like an earthquake that next door auditoriums could feel the vibration. The audience was in awe and cheered louder than a game at the superbowl. That was the moment my balls dropped and I saw the power and strength of what real men (and women) could do. It was that awesome! I remember one person shouted when it cut back to Denathor "THAT WAS SO FUCKIN COOL!"

    You know, something I really do love about this scene (and the later ones with the elephants) is that they touch on something about pre-modern warfare that isn't made explicit. The importance of morale -- on both sides no less! It starts with Gondorian soldiers visibly wilting under the pressure with the Nazgul above, trolls smashing them out of the way, their neighbors getting slaughtered etc after already suffering the sight of their former comrades' decapitated heads raining down on them. Then when the Rohirrim arrive, Eowyn and Merry struggling to master their fear at how big the Witch King's army is; Theoden's keenly understanding he needs to lead by example to get his men to commit to the charge; the orcs losing their nerve at the sight of cavalry approaching with their armor shining in the sun, standing meters tall screaming "DEATH" at them etc.

    This is by far the best scene of the Trilogy for me. Theoden is so well written in the movies that this scene means everything. In exemple, Helm's Deeps is great but the Gandalf's coming with defying gravity charge and the sun, and killing an enormous army feels epic but not connected. Here you have Gandalf starting to believe he failed, Theoden witnessing he is gonna send his men and women and halfmen to death upon an army 10x bigger than his. He gives the exact book speach that is the perfect to have at this instant because "Men didnt failed". They will die for their convictions and honor. The music is a masterpiece, the charge is one of the best in history for a movie shot around 2000-2003, the fear in the Mordor army eyes, the brutality of the horses smashing their bodies, the sacrifice for the greater good. EVERYTHING is here. This is the definition of courage, loyalty and be true to yourself.

    Now silently the host of Rohan moved forward into the field of Gondor, pouring in slowly but steadily.... After a while the king led his men away somewhat eastward, to come between the fires of the siege and the outer fields. Still they were unchallenged, and still Théoden gave no signal.... A smell of burning was in the air and a very shadow of death. The horses were uneasy. But the king sat upon Snowmane, motionless, gazing upon the agony of Minas Tirith, as if stricken suddenly by anguish, or by dread. He seemed to shrink down, cowed by age. Merry himself felt as if a great weight of horror and doubt had settled on him.... They were too late! Too late was worse than never!.... Then suddenly Merry felt it at last, beyond doubt: a change. Wind was in his face! Light was glimmering.... But at that same moment there was a flash, as if lightning had sprung from the earth beneath the City. For a searing second it stood dazzling far off in black and white, its topmost tower like a glittering needle: and then as the darkness closed again there came rolling over the fields a great boom. 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 Théoden! 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 Guthláf 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. Éomer rode there, the white horsetail on his helm floating in his speed, and the front of the first éored roared like a breaker foaming to the shore, but Théoden 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 Oromë 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 the 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.

    This scene is a cultural touchstone, the absolute pinnacle of raw emotion, artistry, and narrative power. It leaves an indelible mark on the soul. The air itself seems charged with electricity, and every second feels like a countdown to death. Into this heavy tension rides King Théoden, his face heavy with the burdens of leadership and the weight of impending doom. With him, 6,000 Rohirrim, their efforts a physical manifestation of their courage and their love for their land. As Théoden's voice cuts through the air, transforming fear into a fiery resolve, you feel it in your bones. It's not just a speech; it's a war cry, a lament, and a eulogy all in one. And then, as the music swells, a symphony of trumpets and strings that seems to carry the very cries of the Rohirrim, they charge. It's a moment that evokes emotions so potent they feel like they're carved into your very being.

    @@USERZ123XD I respectfully disagree, I am of the belief that Tolkien himself would likely have appreciated Jackson's cinematic interpretation of this scene. Firstly, while Tolkien's works were deeply rooted in his written words, he was not dismissive of adaptations or visual representations of his work. In fact, he was open to the idea of film adaptations, provided they were done with respect for the source material. Peter Jackson's film series, although not without some creative liberties, largely stayed faithful to the spirit and themes of Tolkien's writings (unlike Amazon's RoP). The portrayal of the Rohirrim's heroic charge in the films captures the essence of Tolkien's epic storytelling and his admiration for heroic deeds. Additionally, Tolkien was a philologist and a scholar of ancient languages and mythologies. He had a keen appreciation for visual art, and he himself created illustrations for his works. The cinematic depiction of the Rohirrim's charge, with its grandeur and epic scale, is absolutely in harmony with Tolkien's appreciation for artistic and visual representation. It brings to life the imagery and emotion that he sought to convey in his writing. Furthermore, Tolkien was known for his love of storytelling and the power of narrative. Jackson's portrayal of the Rohirrim's charge effectively demonstrates one of the strengths in storytelling using cinematic medium. It serves as a powerful and evocative representation of heroism, sacrifice, and the triumph of good over evil, which were central themes in Tolkien's own work.

    @@USERZ123XD Respectfully, I wish to respond by clarifying a few points regarding my opinion re: J.R.R. Tolkien's views and his approach to storytelling. Firstly, let’s try to spell Tolkien's name correctly. It's not 'Tokin.' I know spelling mistakes are easy to make, and they don't diminish the value of your opinion, but such a simple mistake, made repeatedly, can undermine the credibility of your argument, by raising questions regarding your familiarity with the subject-matter. Secondly, while it's true that Tolkien emphasized the importance of smaller, everyday characters like Hobbits and their world/life in his works, it is a misinterpretation to claim that he exclusively focused on small-scale stories. Tolkien's legendarium is vast and encompasses both the grand and the intimate. He created a world with a rich history that includes epic battles and heroic deeds. The presence of these grand events does not negate his appreciation for the smaller folk. Tolkien clearly believed in a holistic narrative that explored various aspects of his fictional world, from the ordinary to the epic. While you are correct in that Tolkien chose Frodo's journey to Mount Doom as the climax of the story, it does not diminish the significance of the larger battles and heroic deeds that occur throughout the narrative. Tolkien's storytelling was layered, with multiple plotlines and character arcs. The climax with Frodo and the Ring is the culmination of positive deeds and sacrifices, large and small. This climax doesn't negate the importance of heroic struggles and epic conflicts in the overall narrative that Tolkien purposefully depicted. Lastly, regarding Tolkien's view of war, it's worth noting that his perspective was nuanced. While he experienced the horrors of World War I, he also recognized the historical significance of battles and the valor of soldiers, and the necessity of good's triumph over evil. His works reflect this complexity, as they explore both the destructive power of war and the heroism that can emerge from it. The Battle of Helm's Deep and the charge of the Rohirrim in 'The Lord of the Rings' are examples of Tolkien's portrayal of epic battles within a broader context of sacrifice and courage. That is why I have no doubt he would have enjoyed Jackson’s scene immensely.

    ***** I'm not sure. I can't really decide... I just think that saying this scene is the greatest in cinema history is ignoring hundreds of millions of movies that came before and after this movie, and I'm just saying that it is implausible. I'm sorry if you were genuinely curious about what I think is the best scene, because I really can't produce a top 5 list (so many movies are so good). However, if you are asking this question because you believe that this is the best scene, I have one thing to say: *start watching more movies*. Every masterpiece and classic you watch will make it feel like THAT was the best movie/scene ever, until you watch another classic, and you'll think that this movie was the best, then on and on. The (fun) ride never ends. Saying that this scene is possibly the best ever is extremely self-limiting and close minded. I never said that it's a bad scene; It's definitely a great scene, but cmon, the *best* ever? Well, everyone has his/her favorites and opinions, so it's all good.

    Rest in piece, Bernard Hill. The King of Rohan has passed. Long live the King. "Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? Where is the helm and the hauberk, And the bright hair flowing?"

In this middle age wars u die by force which u could compete to u have kind of an usefull armor u dont smell and witness burned and exploded corpses of your comrades
