After multiple viewings, 'My friends...you bow to no one' from Return of the King is corny

I've seen this movie so many times and every time I get tears in my eyes during this scene.
One of my favourite scenes in any movie.
If this was a Marvel movie Merry or Pippin would say something stupid or be hit by a rock so we all can laugh about it...
Being corny or cheesy isn't always bad.

"hey I love this everyone bowing to me shit"
Yep that's definitely Merry and/or Pippin.

no way OP the bed scene with Galdalf is cringey...the movie should have ended with the scene you posted.
After like a dozen vieweings I think the only part that never diminished in impressiveness for me was this
.
Best few minutes of the trilogy
Air Gandalfsyour button obsession reminds me of something I always found silly about this scene:
Gandalf's got sneakers on.
I didn't think it would end this way.
End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.
What? Gandalf? See what?
White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
Well, that isn't so bad.
No. No, it isn't.

Gandalf falling with the Balrog into the open cavern is still good though.
I do not know... the wise speak only of what they know, signal.
I meant his smug face compared to the others surprised faces
He was a Brandybuck after all, a rather rich aristocrat of a hobbit.
Yeah I know, just saying that's probably intentional. At least, I'd believe it.
I am forming a fellowship specifically to cast this post into the fires of Mount Doom. Who's down?
I only dislike it because it isn't accurate to how that scene really happened.
Yes, this is real
Jesus Christ, man. I just ate.

I prefer "corny" to "let's undercut every dramatic moment with a joke so no one thinks we're corny".
It's touching as fuck. Just because the movie isn't afraid to be nakedly emotional doesn't mean it's corny, movies can do that without having irritating winking at the audience moments. It shows what a good King Aragorn is gonna be, dude shows respect to the little folk that did so much of the leg work to get him on the throne.
I love this scene but in the movie a large troll smashes the gate and ruins it a bit.

OP shall forever live in infamy for this. Like a withered thing in a cave, scavenging for scraps, forgetting who he was or where he has been. Alone in the dark, lost without his precious.
The delivery for Aragon is what sells the scene.
Dude nailed it like he did pretty much the entire movie.
OP I would say that critiquing movies just ain't your thing. Find something else to discuss and attempt to salvage your dignity and credibility (what is left of it).

The whole series is cheesy. They're early 2000s fantasy action movies. This is like complaining about a Star Wars line being cheesy or whatever. It's basically for children.
A contender for really terrible opinions about LOTR has entered the ring!
It's not worth fretting about other people's opinions about children's movies. That's like worrying about what people think about MCU or Star Wars movies, they're not made to actually be analyzed on a deep level.
It's one of the very few fucking movie trilogies/"cinematic universes" to really earn a moment like that
The whole fucking point of the series is how four small and weak nobodies from the Shire, a backwater place of no importance whatsoever, helped save the world. These weren't great fighters or wizards or anything remarkable like how the books describe Aragorn and all the other actual major characters in the novels.

Nah this makes sense. Merry Pip and Frodo are all aristocracy. They're rich. Sam is working class. He doesn't know how to dress up fancy. It is actually great characterization.I made fun of Sam's collar but I just noticed this because of that youtube thumbnail
That unbuttoned sleeve smfh. Gondor is bowing to this?? Scene further diminished.
There is so much about the end of that movie that is REALLY corny now. The hobbits frolicking on Frodo's bed as each member of the cast walks in is just YIKES

If it's actually on purpose then that's deep but seems unlikely lol.
As opposed to all those great late-2000s fantasy action movies? Or those incredible 2010s fantasy action movies?
What?
