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. 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. 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.

[@dragondov]

Well this did happen irl; the siege of Vienna in 1683, which this is based on. The Ottoman empire (Orcs) were spreading rapidly into Christian Europe and eventually a huge army of over 150,000 reached Vienna (Minus Tirith) the last stronghold of Eastern Europe and the gateway to Rome; if Vienna fell Christianity and Europe would be conquered by Islam. The defenders, outnumbered 15:1, bravely defended Vienna for two months, losing men, suffering from starvation and constant mine warfare. However just as the city was about to fall (orcs breach the city/Ottomans were about to blow up the city walls), a collation of both Protestant and Catholic European powers, led by the Polish (Rohirrim) arrived, with their elite cavalry; the famed, Winged Hussars. As the Ottomans began panicking, the Polish king assembled his cavalry, charged down the hills of Vienna and annihilated the Ottomans, thus saving Europe and Christianity (Middle earth). Difference is though, the Charge of the winged Hussars included 21,000 Calvary! Nearly 4x the amount of Calvary in this scene. Can you imagine that! Afterwards the Polish king said, 'Venimus, Vidimus, Deus vicit' - We came, We saw, God conquered. Tolkien was a hardcore Catholic and fought during WW1, when Britain was at war with the Islamic Ottomans, hence the allusion.

[@alipatat6567]

Theoden is my favourite character from LotR. His flaws of mortality are shown, yet he does what no other lord of any race, be it humans or elves or dwarves would do. He rides to the aid of Gondor. This one act threw the plans of Sauron into tatters, for he did not believe there were any of the race of Men left who could challenge him. Seeing the Horselords line the horizon of Pelennor and hearing the horns of the Mark is the greatest piece in both the movie and book.

I seriously don't believe a trilogy HAS ever or WILL ever top these movies. Not even the Dark Knight and Ledger delivered a cream of the crop performance. For LOTR, the acting was outstanding, the writing was phenomenal, the production was impeccable, and the music was UNBELIEVABLY PERFECT. Imo, the soundtrack was the best part of the trilogy, and that, in my experience, is extremely rare for movies that exhibit this extraordinary standard of proficiency across the board. Fantasy cinema will always have a reference point with this trilogy, but my god, the bar was set at an ethereal level!!!

[@MorgulLord7]

It took me a while to accept that no other fantasy movie/show would ever come close to matching LOTR. i truly feel sorry for the fantasy movies that came out directly after LOTR because i thought they all sucked. they weren't all bad, but i made the mistake of comparing them to lord of the rings. as you say, i think the music being utterly perfect is one of the main striking differences between this movie. i can listen to the soundtrack and i'm immediately there in the movies

[@killer25014]

@@MorgulLord7 It's rather fitting, in all honesty. There will always be great stories. There will always be great shows. And there will always be great movies. But much like the Fantasy genre as an entire whole, and indeed, all the other genres from which it commonly interacts with, there will always be one Lord of the Rings - the precedence setter, not the follower. The foundational block: Forever strong, and sturdy. The fact people still know and talk about it today is, in of itself, a testament to that very undeniable fact. Tolkien truly created something that has stood the many rigors of time, and hopefully will continue to do so long from now. That's an accomplishment eternally worthy of praise.

[@killer25014]

@Oswald Mosley I'm not too sure if he would have truly hated the movies (likely would have hated the inaccuracies more, if anything else), but if anything, he'd likely understand the limitations of the craft; it's one thing to read about the world of Middle Earth, it's another thing entirely to try and actually show it. Think he would have been happy enough to know his books were actually being receiving *this* well. Can't imagine too many other authors who would be entirely opposed to that line-of-thinking (at that time). But yeah, I think the staff who worked on these films really did enjoy the world of Middle Earth. Wouldn't have tried to be as faithful as they were if they didn't like the original Lord of the Rings. Now we just have to see if the same holds true for the show lol.

[@kybergaming623]

I would put the original Star Wars Trilogy a bit higher. But that’s just my opinion

[@MsClonetrooper]

@@kybergaming623 I think both Star Wars and LOTR stand on equal ground in terms of their respective genres. Both movies where made by Directors and crew with a passion and dream and spent so much time and effort into them to bring forth the story they wanted to tell. Both trilogies are trend setters, with many Sci-Fi movies trying to copy what Star Wars did, the same as Fantasy movies trying to copy LOTR. They both set the standards of their epics. Heck both have a prequel trilogy that wasn't well received by fans that had the studio get heavily involved and forced both directors to rush their process to get them done faster. And while the prequels are not as good as the originals, you can still see that the Directors and Crew did their best with what they had to bring together a series of movies that, while not the best, still have the heart and soul of the worlds they created. In my opinion, neither one is better than the other as they both belong to different categories. Star Wars dominates Sci-fi and Lord of the Rings dominates fantasy.

Heartbreaking how this old trilogy with a lower budget had a hundred times more quality and creativity than the current Amazon series.

Its because the Amazon series is being made with the intention of taking Tolkien's works and using them to both create their own story that is heavily saturated in meeting a status quo and create a reflection of modern times using Tolkien's works.

I pay tribute to Mr. Bernard Hill, thank you sir for bringing this mighty character to the screen, caring, king. Statue for those who rule, on and offscreen, his speeches, tone, voice, his intimidating, yet honest and brave expressions to fellow brothers in arms, in one cause. This movie is the greatest fantasy film there will be. Cinema will not change for better from now on. But these 40 years of production may be the best 40 years of cinematography in the time line of past present and future mankind. Remember yourself, remember them, praise, pray, believe.
