On the visualisation front, that was the only real problem for me. I wanted vicious evil mega-wolves, and all we got were silly, stuffed hyenas. <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Well I think that makes up somewhat for her even going to Helm's Deep, because she wasn't supposed to be there either, was she? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Well, it was sensible to give Eowyn a greater role in this part of the story (particularly given her significance in RotK). And, since she wasn't sent off to Dunharrow with the woman, children and senior citizens (as happened in the book), she also had to be given an opportunity to protest over not being allowed to fight (presumably, her accompanying the Riders of Rohan incognito will be included in the RotK film). <P>Also, having the citizens of Rohan at Helms Deep allowed for the opportunity to show the horror of the forthcoming battle when the old men and boys were being given weapons and armour. I thought that this was one of the most poignant moments of the film.
