‘Completely Right’: This Underrated LOTR Fight Scene Earns High Praise From Sword Expert

Matt Easton, who studies historical weapons and practices European martial arts, reviewed the fight scenes in the first Lord of the Rings movie to see how realistic they were. While he pointed out a few inaccuracies – like arrows traveling too far and swords cutting through armor too easily – he thought the combat was generally “very well done” and raised the standard for fantasy films. He particularly praised the battle on Weathertop, where Aragorn fought off five Ringwraiths to protect Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin.
