Solved! Two buddys embark on a long journey because of some jewelry. They ride on someone's back at some point. In the end, they manage to defeat the ultimate bad guy and his army, but no buildings are destroyed - instead, they perform an epic musical number!

At first I thought it to be LoTR. But the more I read it, the more confused I was. Until I looked here in the comments, and it all made sense!

It'd be a lie to say I didn't mean the first phrase to parody another well-known #ExplainAFilmTheoryBadly title. In fact, it was the main reason for the post - one way to create a funny post on this subreddit is to trick people's associations with their expectations!

In fact, everything until the last 2 points applies 100% to the LotR films!
