Bombadil dying at Helm's Deep... LOL...<P>I very much agree that the whole bit with Faramir/Osgiliath (that made a near shambles of TTT for me) ought not to have seen the light of day. I wish too that the events at Helm's Deep had been a bit closer to the book.<P>As for FOTR, I did not entirely like the portrayal of Isildur or Aragorn. Also did not like some elements of Moria (could have done without the scuttling goblins climbing the roofs...). It was generally good, mind you, particularly the Balrog, and even improved in some bits (like the greater role of the cave troll) but I miss elements like the orc chieftain that actually skewers Frodo (logically, something as big as a cave troll, even if the spear did not pierce the mail, would have still simply crushed Frodo - I make armor and notice things like that)<P>However, with TTT, I will wait at least until the director's cut comes out before passing final judgement...
