The intense feeling and nail-biting experience have been there since day one and the best battle scenes in movies have fans reeling. Many iconic battles scenes are imprinted in our minds and continue to live on in pop culture references, reminding us to appreciate the actors and directors behind them.
There are many cinematic masterpieces that need to be recognized by the world. But unfortunately, it’s impossible to list them all. So, let us enlighten you with the 5 top best battle scenes in movies that are a must-watch.
Lord of the Rings is a novel-based movie series with multiple mind-blowing battle scenes. However, in the last trilogy, the ‘Battle For Minas Tirith Beggins’ took place leaving the viewers astonished. The battle seeming hopeless for the forces of Gondor, the scene pulled every strand of hair to its tip in anticipation.
Everyone knew that the forces of Gondor would prevail but despite knowing that when the Rohirrim showed up with the reinforcements it was so exciting it had everyone on the edge of their seats. It was easy to see that a lot of effort and hard work was put into these scenes. The camera work, the fierceness in the actors, and the blood-thirsty battle left our jaws hanging. It concluded the movie Return Of The King in the most unforgettable way ever.
Also known as Battle of Yavin or Miracle of Yavin, the Battle of the Death Star is a major battle in the Galactic war in. The rebels were able to destroy the Death Star, making this their biggest victory against the Galactic empire. They planned that since the Death Star was made to be able to defend itself from a large-scale assault, it would be easier and more efficient to use small one-man starfighters to get between the death star's defenses.
The battle had many close calls and action packed scenes but even when the imperial officer identified the rebels' strategy, her superiors did not listen to her warnings and refused to evacuate. While this happened, Darth Vader himself was leading a squadron to get rid of the rebel fighters. The first attempt to shoot down the exhaust port was shot down by Darth Vader. After more series of failed attempts and close calls, Skywalker sees an opening and shoots his shot and just a few seconds before they were about to blow up the moon, they all exploded. The futuristic theme of this franchise made every single battle scene look as epic as it could be but the battle of the death star takes the cake.
When the Guardians of the Galaxy arrived on the planet Titan to meet with Nebula, they happened to run into Dr Strange, Tony Stark, and Peter Parker. However, both parties believed the other to be an enemy, so after a short and humorous fight they managed to arrive on the same page. It was a wildly hilarious scene that stayed with fans but, of course, that was not the main battle. It is what followed this humorous sequence.
After the group came to an agreement, Tony Stark began to explain his plan to take on Thanos. He suggests that they all work together to just take his gauntlet off and not try anything else since he’s too powerful of an enemy. This scene may not have been the longest battle but it is the most creative. It really showed how powerful of an enemy Thanos really is. It took Dr strange, Spiderman, Ironman, and most of the Guardians Of The Galaxy to even get close to, not defeating him, but simply taking his gauntlet. Even then they, in the end, could not achieve.
If we were to sit and talk about every single iconic battle scene in movies, we’d be here forever, which is why we’ve picked the top 3 most iconic battle scenes that everybody should and would know about. While you wait for upcoming movies, go back and rewatch these amazing scenes too!
