- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodIan McKellenOrlando BloomA meek Hobbit from the Shire and eight companions set out on a journey to destroy the powerful One Ring and save Middle-earth from the Dark Lord Sauron.The prologue. One Rule to rule them all. Not as huge as the other ones, but still impressive.
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodIan McKellenViggo MortensenWhile Frodo and Sam edge closer to Mordor with the help of the shifty Gollum, the divided fellowship makes a stand against Sauron's new ally, Saruman, and his hordes of Isengard.Helm's Deep Battle is sometimes regarded as the best of all time. Indeed great. Also one of the longest
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodViggo MortensenIan McKellenGandalf and Aragorn lead the World of Men against Sauron's army to draw his gaze from Frodo and Sam as they approach Mount Doom with the One Ring.The Battle of the Pelennor Fields is for some fans even better than TTT battle. It's so great people don't even remember the amazing Battle At The Black Gate.
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsIan McKellenMartin FreemanRichard ArmitageBilbo Baggins and company are forced to engage in a war against an array of combatants and keep the Lonely Mountain from falling into the hands of a rising darkness.Even more expensive and maybe longer than Helm's Deep, but not as great.
- DirectorDavid YatesStarsDaniel RadcliffeEmma WatsonRupert GrintAs the battle between the forces of good and evil in the wizarding world escalates, Harry Potter draws ever closer to his final confrontation with Voldemort.I'm not a fan of Harry Potter's films, but the Battle of Hogwarts, despite being overrated is pretty good.
- DirectorZack SnyderStarsGerard ButlerLena HeadeyDavid WenhamIn the ancient battle of Thermopylae, King Leonidas and 300 Spartans fight against Xerxes and his massive Persian army.Battle of Thermopylae
It's fantasy for IMDb, so it's here. - DirectorNoam MurroStarsSullivan StapletonEva GreenLena HeadeyGreek general Themistocles of Athens leads the naval charge against invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes and Artemisia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy.It definitely has its problems, but I think people are often too harsh on this one. It clocks at only 100 minutes, and yet very very few movies dedicate so much time to battle scenes. 300 is not one of them. Oh, and the clash between Themistocles and Artemisia is a lot better than Xerxers and the Spartans in my opinion.
- DirectorAndrew AdamsonStarsTilda SwintonGeorgie HenleyWilliam MoseleyWhile playing, Lucy and her siblings find a wardrobe that lands them in a mystical place called Narnia. Here they realize that it was fated and they must now unite with Aslan to defeat an evil queen.First Battle of Beruna
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsBruce CampbellEmbeth DavidtzMarcus GilbertWhen Ash Williams is accidentally transported to 1300 A.D., he must retrieve the Necronomicon and battle an army of the dead in order to return home.Castle raid.
Over the top fun. - CreatorsDavid BenioffD.B. WeissStarsEmilia ClarkePeter DinklageKit HaringtonNine noble families fight for control over the lands of Westeros, while an ancient enemy returns after being dormant for millennia.Just like HP I'm not a fan of Game of Thrones TV series, but how can you not put Blackwater, the Battle on the Wall, Hardhome and the Battle of the Bastards here?
- DirectorRob CohenStarsBrendan FraserJet LiMaria BelloIn the Far East, Alex O'Connell, the son of famed mummy fighters Rick and Evy O'Connell, unearths the mummy of the first Emperor of Qin -- a shape-shifting entity cursed by a witch centuries ago.Among the worst film in all these lists, but battle at the great wall is good.
- DirectorGore VerbinskiStarsJohnny DeppGeoffrey RushOrlando BloomBlacksmith Will Turner teams up with eccentric pirate "Captain" Jack Sparrow to save Elizabeth Swann, the governor's daughter and his love, from Jack's former pirate allies, who are now undead.The Battle at Isla de Muerta.
- DirectorGore VerbinskiStarsJohnny DeppOrlando BloomKeira KnightleyWill Turner, Elizabeth Swann, Hector Barbossa, and the crew of the Black Pearl try and rescue Jack from davy jones locker and prepare to fight Lord Cutler Beckett, who controls Davy Jones and the Flying Dutchman.Battle of Calypso's maelstrom.
- DirectorDon ChaffeyStarsTodd ArmstrongNancy KovackGary RaymondThe legendary Greek hero leads a team of intrepid adventurers in a perilous quest for the legendary Golden Fleece.One of the first fantasy films with a big battle. You can see its influences some other movies on this list.
- DirectorDarren AronofskyStarsRussell CroweJennifer ConnellyAnthony HopkinsNoah is chosen by God to undertake a momentous mission before an apocalyptic flood cleanses the world.Defending the Ark! Worst film by Aronofsky (though underrated somehow), but the battle is good.
- DirectorsRobert StevensonWard KimballStarsAngela LansburyDavid TomlinsonRoddy McDowallAn apprentice witch, three kids, and a cynical magician conman search for the missing component to a magic spell to be used in the defense of Britain in World War II.The weirdest battle I know. Nazis vs empty armors.
