[The Saucepan Man]

Hmmm ... I think that HC's purpose in posting this thread (in the <B>Movies</B> forum, I might add) was to highlight that, although the film does generally work within a realistic timescale, it seems implausible that the Elven army would have been able to get to Helm's Deep in time.<P>I think that it is a thoroughly valid point. I mean, more than enough time has been spent on other threads debating the (real and imagined) shortcomings of the film. Although it is a fantasy film, most intelligent viewers still want it to be logical. My main gripes with TTT are where it appears not to make sense. And I must admit that this point did occur to me when I saw the film the first time. It doesn't work.
