Gollum's Yelp review of Minas Morgul: "Very nasty place"
-
I remember the first time I saw this with a group of friends in theaters. The volume was set higher than normal, and the Witch King's scream left us clutching our ears right along with the characters. It was one of most effective methods of immersion that I've had the simultaneous pleasure and misfortune of experiencing.
-
The entrance of the Witchking is the definition of real badass.
-
In the book a beam of light went up from Barad-Dur to signal the witch king to launch the attack. This was Minas-Morguls reply.
-
A movie that was ahead of its time
-
Not sure why but I honestly feel like Minas Morgul was truly the most dark, cursed place in Middle Earth. Even Barad Dur couldn’t seem to hold a candle to it. Like the souls of who once lived there before the agents of darkness still remain, forced to live on in constant unimaginable agony.
-
I like Sam and Gollum working together to pull Frodo back. Its always interesting to see enemies have a common goal and work together.
-
This scene definitely earned the academy award for best sound editing. From the sound of Minas Morgal answering Sauron's call to the earpiercing shriek of the witch king. It still gives me goosebumps to this day. I wish I could have experienced this in theatres.
-
The music throughout this entire scene is amazing.
-
I like how Gandalf puts an arm around Pippin, to comfort him. Very subtle, but that was cool.
-
this movie would've been over so quick if one of those thousands of orcs just happened to look up
-
I lost half of my audition ability in the theather when the Nazgul screamed...and I don't regret at all ! :D
-
How come early 2000’s CGI is millions times more convincing than this shit we have to today? look at that dragon and how real it fuccing looks it’s unbelievable!!!

Morgul is the personal domain of the Witch King. Despite being a mere undead shadow, completelly obedient to Sauron, he still have a remant of the (surely) pompous nature he had as an ambitious Second Age human king. Even as an enslaved ghost he still have the need to hold a worthy seat to call as his own. His personal Morgul troops even had a separate chain of command from the ones of Mordor, as well as the personal sigil of the Witch King as war banner (a skull and a Moon if i remember correctly). In the books it's even hinted there is some form of "rivalry" between the orcs directly under the command of Sauron and those under the Witch King
-
The blending of practical and CGI in this scene still holds up insanely well.
-
The board is set... the pieces are moving.
-
LOTR will be the best triology for ever. No fckn movie nowadays can keep up with this masterpiece. If there was anything like this again I would go to the cinema immediately and book a love chair for myself
-
Imagine them recounting their adventure at the end. "Hey, you guys remember when Minas Morgul lit up that one night?" "Yea." "Lol, that was us, I think. We were right there at the door." "Woah, no shit."
-
that scream. omg
-
I always thought of the Witch King as like a little dark lord, giving off his own unlight and with his own power. Morgoth to Sauron to the Witch King.
