TOP "The Ride Of The Rohirrim" Reactions! LORD OF THE RINGS THE RETURN OF THE KING (2003) Reaction

[@Sabre22]

This charge and the Charge at helms deep are based based on the charge that lifted the ottoman siege on Vienna in 1683. Over 13,000 Calvary led by the Polish Winged Hussars about about 3,000 broke the siege stopping Muslim aggression into Central Europe

very good information!

[@calemorgan3982]

I don't think anyone could truly understand how powerful a wall of thousands of horses weighing about 900-1000 pounds each running at 30mph with armor on. There is a reason horses were game changers for open field battles in history. I work with horses everyday and they still catch me off guard with how explosive and agile they can be.

[@BangerReact]

true its so powerfull and hard to stop them all in battle, in these day it will feels like hit by 1000 tank with buggati engine 😂

[@stephenbarrett8861]

Stirrups were game changers.

[@zarinshapurjee9430]

The ride of the rohirrim is always my favorite scene of the return of the king it's a cinematic masterpiece. I remember watching it in theatres and everyone there screamed death at the screen it was awesome lol

[@LordEriolTolkien]

The Rohirrim had mustered a little over 6 thousand spears for that charge. And committed to this charge immediately after a 3 day forced march of about (from memory) 300 miles

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.

I never get tired of these scenes. Epic.

[@joshritz7067]

Lol Ang let her Frieza show for a second there

[@alvin081988]

This Scene is not only the Greatest Cavalry Charge of All Time but it is a Great Art too

[@nobodyimportant9127]

[@BangerReact]

[@optimusprowse6448]

Reat in Peace, Bernhard Hill. Rest easy in the hall of your Forfathers, Theoden King! FORTH EORLINGAS

[@richardspears6849]

One of the best scenes in movie history!!!!

[@richardspears6849]

One is one of the best scenes in movie history!!!!

[@PlutozReal]

I always wished there was a scene that showed gondor soldiers on the city walls looking out and seeing Rohan show up and charge in and see how that would invigorate the gondorions to fight harder.

[@dontwitty1656]

Horse and rider =1725 pounds X 6000 (number of riders)= 10,350,000 (10 million 350 thousand pounds) of charging Rhoherium

[@MattCollectorControl]

Now do the calculus on those oliphants lol

[@BuzryHaproMandalorianHunter]

We don’t know how many were lost to the volly of arrows, but still didn’t stop the Rhoherium.

[@gawainethefirst]

@@MattCollectorControl, according to Gimley, it equals one.

[@Bear78420]

Still my favorite battle scene in any movie ever!!

[@ungenerationed9022]

Merry got a savage war face for a hobbit.

[@optimusprowse6448]

To all Moviemakers: If you do an Open Field Battle Scene... This scene is what you have to surpass, this is the Standard now. Good luck in failing 😅

[@jbwade5676]

I Love This Movie 😊

[@BangerReact]

yeah, such a good movie

[@beaux2585]

Infantry facing a cavalry charge of 1000+ armored horses and riders?!? No chance.

[@zarinshapurjee9430]

I was amazed Peter ued 250 actual horses for this scene and the rest are cgi

[@myspiderungoliant]

I’ve seen interviews with the production crew who were on site. They said just those 250 horses were like an earthquake when they charged down the field. I can’t imagine what 6000 cavalry at a full charge would sound like.

[@kikebautista2110]

The program they created to replicate large armies made a mistake and put 20000 instead 6000....but hey...Im not complaining ;)

[@samcampbell2048]

14:05 it really infuriates me when reactors feel the need to fill every second with comments and jokes instead of just enjoying the scene. Definitely a reactor I will not be following
