The battle scenes were strong. And although we know about Ekenbrand in the book, I can accept PJ's little alteration and understand the reasons for it. Also like others, I found the scenes where the young boys suited up to be among the most compelling. Tolkien did clearly indicate that those initially at Helm's Deep were either too young or too old, and PJ has gone with this. The seasoned warriors only show their faces with the reappearance of Eomer.<P>sharon
