Why would ‘purists’ be worried about this scene? The ‘charge’ of faramir DID happen in the books, and if we get Pippin singing some Tolkien verses, then excellent!<P>The bit I’m now worried about (after reading CHUD) is to do with his description of Elrond giving Aragorn his sword.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Anyway, it's been re-forged and Elrond gives it to a skeptical Aragorn. Like any good movie king, Aragorn is a bit wary of the responsibilities of supreme rule. But, he takes up the sword regardless - convinced by Elrond <B>(who tells him the bad news - seems the orcs aren't only where Aragorn think they are, but are actually surrounding them at the same time, coming up by the river to flank 'em)</B> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Orcs surrounding them? I need some help here, but I think this scene is then set when Aragorn is nearing or has got to the Pellenor Fields? Ie ‘ orcs…coming up the river to flank em’. Does this mean Aragorn and his cohorts arrive at the pellenor fields before the battle actually starts, and thus do not save the day and have to rely on the rohirrim charge to finally win the day, which is the opposite of what happens in the book? <P>Or could Elrond have traveled down to the Port where Aragorn gets his ships?<P>I don’t think this could be near the black gate, as Aragorn has been shown in the trailers leaving minas tirith with his full gondorian armour on. In the scene in the tent, he has his old Aragorn clothes on. <P>Sorry for my disparate thoughts on this, but I’m getting worried about another massive plot change coming up! Arrggghhhhh!!!!<P>Please can someone throw some light on Chud’s comments above? Please help!!!!!!
