That was pretty amazing. For some reason I usually get bored during battle scenes on film, but this one had me captivated- my husband and I agreed that it seemed very realistic-looking how chaotic and ugly.

Isn't it? even on repeat viewings, I'm still amazed by it. The horses alone are incredible! I loved the shots of the scenes where they left the horses as bones or muscles.

Each season of GoT they release a clip like this, showing us how the special effects are done. I love it.
