<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>There is also the little issue of how the front line (Gandalf, Shadowfax, Eomer and all) didn't get implaed on all those pikes when they reached the bottom. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I thought the light from Gandalf's staff, along with the rising of the sun over the hill blinded the orcs and had them raise their pikes. I didn't find that improbable. It ties in with the whole "look for me at dawn" statement and is a strategy that was used by armies (sun glinting off shields, etc.).<P>Although I love elves I thought they could have done a much more realistic job of the Legolas jump onto the horse. I also hated the snowboarding (sheildboarding?) down the stairs thing.
