[thorondil]

I loved the battle scenes but I echo Turoch's complaints.<P>Rohan's army was made to look insignificant and Eomer and his men should have been fighting at Helm's Deep at the beginning. He should have been released in Meduseld after Gandalf broke Theoden's spell. It was Erkenbrand of the Westfold who comes with Gandalf like the cavalry (I guess they were the cavalry .) I groaned when the brigade of Elvish archers showed up.<P>But the battle scenes were cool and I loved to watch it and will do so again. At least Legolas and Gimli were counting!
