That haladrim rider (the one Eomer kills) has like 6sec of screentime in just close ups and he makes the best of it. What a legend.

[deanbartolo]

The decision to just cut the musical score and have the audience listen to the absolute carnage and horror of battle just grounds this scene and many others in the trilogy.
Timeless classic and masterpiece of cinema

[emperornapoleon]

The way Theoden goes from complete shock and terror to leading the charge - what a king! Also, it’s brilliant acting! This is such a terrific scene.

0:56 That smug smile he makes as he sheathes his horn and prepares for battle marks this guy as my favourite character in these movies. Props to the actor, he only got a few shots but he made them count!

Peter Jackson: "Wanna see me create the greatest cavalry charge in cinematic history?"
Peter Jackson: "Wanna see me do it again?"

Peter Jackson shot all 3 LOTR movies at the same time from Oct 1999 to Dec 2000 with only some pickup shots made after. This movie magic is 20+ years old and still holds up against modern films. Absolutely timeless.

[MatthewStewart-]

The death of hope and joy in this scene is palpable. Theodens grim realization is amazing.

[SNESdrunk]

This is nearly *20 years old*, you can still feel the weight of the elephants, of the people getting tossed around... just an absolutely incredible feat of filmmaking, of art. These movies will live forever

It's hard to describe how this moment at 0:36 felt in theaters. Everyone was so excited that the good guys won, the cavalry had saved the day, and the audience was just ecstatic. And then you saw Theodin's face drop, you hear that oliphant roar, the booming and the chanting, and then the sudden reveal of the oliphant cavalry on the horizon. In a second you went from the audience cheering to being so quiet you could hear a pin drop

[Greatbonzz]

The Haradrim battle chant sends shivers down my spine to this day. Tribal and brutal

[slenderminion]

God, how the heroic theme of the Rohirrim just drops dead as soon as the oliphants start tearing the riders to shreds. The initial reveal of the oliphants was already amazing. Their massive size, the unnatural Haradrim horn and Theoden's face perfectly sold just how terrifying these massive beasts are, but then the riders of Rohan reformed the line and the same theme from the first charge starts playing, making us think that the situation is not that bad and that they got this.

Then the music suddenly stops and you realize this is going to be a massacre. Amazing scene writing and execution.

[johnleonard]

The Haradim battle cry is just so awesome.
You have no idea what they're saying, but you know that these guys are marching forward with utmost confidence and are ready for war.

[ethandeardorff]

Almost 2 decades later and I still have yet to find a battle scene that comes close to this level of epic, raw intensity.

[blueshit]

The clash of cultures here is incredible. Men of the north vs men of the south, both of whom probably only ever heard of each other in legends, if at all

[torch]

I know Legolas had more style, but Eomer took out two of the Mumakil with one good spear throw. Props to the man.

[_Cato_]

That Haradrim horn is just so sick. It sounds so distant, menacing, almost haunting. I have no idea how they made that sound but for such a small moment, it clearly impacted a lot of people because we’re ALL talking about how badass it sounds.

I want one of those horns...

[solaire-jdjd]

That first shot of the Haradrims at 00:46 is amazing. The viewer sees the reaction of the Rohan BEFORE the actual threat, but then understands the reason for their shock and awe.

[GrandSupremeDaddyo]

Imagine the balls it takes as a director to think "Okay we just made the greatest cavalry charge in film history. Let's do that again."

[lawvip]

The Haradrim dude that sounded the horn had more character development in 5 minutes than Jon Snow had in 2 seasons
