What he probably ment by that 'old allegiances' was not the Rohirrim & elves, but rather men in general & elves. I thought that Helms Deep was acceptable. Mainly because it seemed to it right in with the movie, although I usually don't like it when a large part is added to the movie & wasn't in the books. I'm glad Haldir died if only for this reason. Each of these movies need to have at least one main or important character die, or else it would seem like the charactersa are being protected. Out.
