    LOTR2: What about a great Rohirrim entrance? Rest of movies: You already had it... LOTR3: We had one yes, what about a second great Rohirrim entrance?

    Just a reminder that the ride of the rohirrim was so epic that even the Witch King didnt want to miss it
  • The most epic scene in cinema no doubt. The avengers can't touch it.

    "Form ranks you maggots! Pikes in front, archers behind" There was more strategy in this one command than the entire plan for the Battle of Winterfell.
  • Endgame: The portals scene is the best charge scene in cinema Return of the King: Hold my second breakfast
  • @maniak69881
    No fucking chance that anything in the Rings of Power will ever amount to a scene as stunning and powerful as this.

    “Courage Merry, courage for our friends.” I love that line so much. It’s simple but holds so much meaning up to this point in the trilogy. What do they have left BUT the courage they keep for those they love? And standing certain death right in the face, this is a line that holds so much power.

    Lord of the Rings: Pikes in front, archers behind. Game of Thrones: Catapults in front, infantry behind.

    Tell the truth. This wasn't in your recommended. You searched this, and so did I. Feel proud, and enjoy your second breakfast, because 20 years later, it’s still, the greatest cinematic scene of all time.

    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.

    Admit it this speech make you feel patriotic toward a county that even dont exist
  • The orcs' faces when they realized the army wasn't stopping is always priceless.
  • @fatdaddync
    What makes this scene so epic is that King Théoden didn't just bring an army of men. He also brought the dawn. They charge the forces of darkness with the Sun rising behind them.
  • @kage61
    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.
  • Screaming "DEATH" three times before charging an army that size does not get any more badass.
  • @quiptookie
    D&D: Game of Thrones will have battle scenes that surpass anything that has come before. LOTR: Exists.

    Shout out to the orchestra for continuing to play in the middle of a dangerous battle without fleeing.

    One of the greatest scenes in cinema history. Everything came together at the right moment. Truly legendary, and will live forever in the minds of the millennial generation.
