Firstly, do not diss the Orlando fans! I am one! But I was a book fan first, and still am. It isn't like you can only be one or the other! <BR>One point about that map- did you notice that Dagorlad was spelt wrong??!! They spelt it 'Dagorland'!!!<BR>Also, another bit that annoyed me, Éomer said 'We ride North' or whatever, but in the book they had come from the north (hence Aragorn's 'What news from the North?') and were supposed to be going to the Entwade which is south. What possible reason could there be for going off in the entirely opposite direction??? (Btw there may have been some reason given in the film, but I can't remember it and I don't have the dvd. If anyone can remember any explanation in the film, could they please give it?)
