Now was THAT a Cavalry Charge, or WHAT?
Oh....you all know....its Return of the King...and WHAT a FANTASTIC charge :)
I apologise to Sair, who has a huge bruise on her leg from my (non passionate) squeeze of her leg in the back row of the cinema :eek:
I thought the entire film started out, feeling a bit "small"..as though it was short on budget....and for 15 minutes I felt as though I was in for a minor let-down :(
but then the sheer dimensions of the army's came to the fore and as the film grew in speed, my excitement grew and I have to say....
WHAT A CAVALRY CHARGE....:)
that is one of Cinemas FINEST MOMENTS....to see the wedge of cavalrymen cut a swathe through the orc's flanks was just superb....it was AMAZING in its size:)
And Eowyn gets my vote as Personality of the film....wothout her and Merry hidden in the Riders of Rohans ranks, the sheer terror would not have been portrayed correctly......she was brave and stoic and she was terrified.....
what a GREAT FILM :D
only point though......if anyone sees Theoben King, ask him to next time, run the FLAT of his sword along the spear mens weapon shafts to get the desired noise NOT the sharp edge of his mighty sword.....silly arse.....weakened every single spear in his front line AND blnted his own sword.....fool :(
otherwise.....just the best film :)

One of the most jaw dropping sequences i have ever seen. The whole scale of it was amazing.
Also liked the bit with the lord of the Nazgul
