The shot of all 9 Nazguls descending down on the city is the most underrated shot in the entire trilogy for me. It's so badass and powerful.

One of the best stagings of this masterful film. The appearance of the Nazgul in the foreground, the descent to Minas Thirit and an impressive soundtrack with a chorus to the rhythm and drama of the scene. Heil Howard Shore.

I know we see the might of the Nazgûl throughout the films, but I feel like this scene is them at the absolute top of their power. We FINALLY get to see how big and bad they are when all Nine are working as a cohesive unit and all Nine are present at once. The first time I saw this as a kid was the first time I can ever remember feeling my blood run cold.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw this scene in theaters when this movie came out

Can you imagine being a solider in any major siege throughout human history and fighting day and night and seeing tens of thousands of enemies waiting to enter the city and kill everyone. There must have been some amazing warriors of old from all cultures to live through something like that win or lose imagine the physical and mental fortitude needed to survive that.

Gandalf was such a key player in this battle. Him on the ground leading the troops and boosting morale really made a difference. Denethor literally rage quit before the fight even started lmao

0:40 this extra deserves more credit, he always catches my eye. Absolute look of total terror

I love how these movies show people as they are WRACKED with fear whenever the Nazgûl show up

Just when you thought things couldn’t go worse, you hear that screech in the air

I just love the fact that after watching this hundreds of times, I just now noticed the one nazgul looking at the camera like "yeah, we here"

To think that this movie (series) is over 20 years is unbelievable!!! Th e CGI is TOP NOTCH! Its trully a 2020 quality CGI. This might be my favorite seen in the entire series. Man theres a reason these are the best movies ever made

Nothing will ever come close to this in sheer scope and epicness

Naguls pilot 1: Don't fly too low, evade the cross fire of the catapults and archers. Naguls pilot 2: Our land forces and Mumakils are in disarray. Time for our turnover. Naguls pilot 3: Take the left, I'll take the higher catapults, we will get rid of their artillery. Witchking will take care of Gandalf. He can handle him.

Gandalf's leadership qualities and courage always gives me chills in this scene.

Incredibly underrated is the sound effect for those wing beats, jesus

The first shot of the nazgul when he looked in the cam was like „ yeah we’re here“

0:00 It is really impressive that he makes you feel the fear by moving towards the camera and looking at the audience. What a perfect scene ! Peter Jackson ❤

I absolutely love how the nasgul and the fell beasts are portrayed in this scene. Ruthless, unmerciful and cunning. Exactly the way a villian is supposed to be. They're definitely some of my favorite villians

0:40: the performance of his life

I love how in addition to how terrifying they are they are Casting a high level Fear spell on everyone too with their shrieks. I love how this was subtly shown by Gandalf saying Do not give into fear and of course Pippins reaction

0:56 My Favorite Part

I am so lucky to have seen this in theater.

absolutely epic. i must've seen these films a hundred times now, still gives me chills. incredible.

Something almost Lovecraftian about how hearing their screech fills a person with panic

this movie has such perfect scenes.

how CGI could be so good 20 years back, now movies looks like pc games

The sound of the one guy bouncing off the lower part of the castle!!! 🤣🤣🤣

1:09-1:10 god I can't un-see that anymore. His wing goes through the building

This is one of those scenes where you don't know where you should be paying attention, whether to watch all 9 descending upon Minas Tirith or trying to spot instances of crossfire between both armies

Imagine an old war veteran, Gondorian or Rohirrim telling the story of this battle ... "And then the nazgul darted upon us from the sky on their winged beasts, and just the sight and screech from them was terrifying I tell you, but we had to keep firing back at the catapults because we were about to be trampled by the enemy, and the Rohirrim came to save us, but then an enemy army of giant elephants arrived and not even the Rohirrim were match for them, we were all in big trouble again, luckily the ghost army saved us in the end" "C'mon gramps, you are overdoing it again" 😅

Me and the boys in 2019: 2020 is gonna be our year. Me and the boys in 2020: 1:09-1:17

0:56-0:57 When you play Middle Earth Pinata

11/10

cruel but just perfect cinema

I saw this in the theater last week. And OOOOOOOOOOH😱😱😱😱😱

Peter Jackson was a masterclass director until he did the hobbit. Brilliant scene.

I wish I was Witch King Of Angmar let alone Sauron. I bet it's not so easy either taming a Nazgul. One of the best Movies and Masterpieces if Fantasy Fiction Tales and Novel J.R. Tolkien Books.😅 These films were not made in America let alone in Europe. Lmao.😂 LOTR is very Nostalgic. You brought me my teenager years.😂

The Nazgûl were terrifying in their fly over Psy Op to demoralize Gondor.

My favorite shot in a movie. Ever.

All the Nazguls avoided the very top and only took out some of the defenses and soldiers below the top floor instead

The most badass fighter pilots ever

"The Nazgûl came again, and as their Dark Lord now grew and put forth his strength, so their voices, which uttered only his will and his malice, were filled with evil and horror. Ever they circled above the City, like vultures that expect their fill of doomed men’s flesh. Out of sight and shot they flew, and yet were ever present, and their deadly voices rent the air. More unbearable they became, not less, at each new cry. At length even the stout-hearted would fling themselves to the ground as the hidden menace passed over them, or they would stand, letting their weapons fall from nerveless hands while into their minds a blackness came, and they thought no more of war; but only of hiding and of crawling, and of death." - The Return of the King, Book 5

The Nine Rings of Men against the sole elven Ring of Fire

Welcome to our airstrip

If you think the situation cant be worse, the Nazgûl say helloooo!

Yeah, if Smaug enters this battle, he will turn the entire city into rubbles and ash in seconds.

I WAS NICE I SWEAR!!!

I’d shit my pants.

Like for real, this is so fucking crazy.

When will people learn Nazgul doesnt have a plural s-inflection?

All nine Nazguls together on fell beast. What would it be like if the Nazguls rode on dragons that breath fire. The fell beast live the mountains on the northern borders of Mordor.

1:16 - Puts the sheer height into perspective, doesn't it?

How many nazguls can you see?

Mordor's Air Force

Why do the villains always get the good shit

Wonder why the other eight peaced out after this point and just left the Witch King to finish everything.

I don’t think this movie could be made in 2024

If only Witch King of Angmar has got Smaug he would have finished the city and the war in 5 miniutes just ash will remain

0:36 he missed

Nazgûl look cooler on fell beasts!

Wonder which one of them is Talion.

The return of the king was just a lot of CGI.

Sounds like Taylor Swift
