OH MY GOD I HAD TO WORK SO HARD NOT TO EITHER SPUTTER OUT LOUD OR LAUGH OUT LOUD
One of the first things I said to Becca afterward was "I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY HAD A HORSE GALLOP DOWN A STAIRCASE, OH MY GOD!!" Although I admit, in the very opening scene, I was thinking charitable thoughts about the animation of the horse galloping (it was fine, not incredible, but there are simply so many terrible horse animations out there, and I was pleased they'd crossed the Horses Move More Or Less Like Horses bar for a movie about Rohan)... and then the horse galloped up an uneven rocky slope like it was simply galloping on level ground while the world tilted around it, and I was like, "Ah. Okay. I see." But even that clipping-through-the-boulders nonsense did not prepare me for the STAIRWAY and the BATTLEMENTS and all the other ridiculousness of that scene! I was dying of stifled laughter.
