Lord of the rings is up there. You're being a prisoner of the moment.
The battle scenes in LOTR are great, make no mistake.
But they're limited by the fact that it's mainly unkillable heroes facing a bunch of monsters.
The battle of Helm's Deep was epic, but I think the most dramatic parts were some elf's death, Theoden's speech, and Gandalf to the rescue.
Minas Tirith was also good and definitely utilized more CGI, but IMO, neither one is seeing the battle in this episode.
