Sharku has ably summed up the scene, at from my point of view at least. It's nice to see that not everyone hated it completely, though, otherwise the thread would just be a b*tch session (not butch, or batch).<P>I'd like to add that even though the visuals of the Nazgul/Frodo scene were amazing and terrifying, the Nazgul don't really do much, do they? Why is the movie making them even less powerful than in the books? True, their main weapon is fear, but when you have one <I>that</I> close to the Ringbearer, surely he should be able to come up with something else? Why didn't his Fell Beast just pick Frodo up and carry him off?<P>Also, it seems that Faramir is not the master strategist we thought he was. Instead of falling on the enemy from the rear (east), he somehow finds boats somewhere, crosses over the Anduin, and joins his mates on the other side. Of course, the Extended DVD might try and come up with an explanation for that one.
