Eomer, <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I thought Theoden's death could have been about ten times more effective had it been done by the book. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I know you weren’t in that bit. Is that what you mean? Or is it that Theoden spoke to Eoywn? He couldn’t have done this with Merry as we don’t have any of the previous scenes of them growing fond of each other.<P>I reckon you will be in the EE though, and you will cradle Eoywn in your arms and think she’s dead.<P>Diamond <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>It was too sunny...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Well, just as the Rohirrim ride, the Wind Changes (in the book) and it becomes clearer. i.e. check out the first paragraph from The Battle of Pellenor Fields.<P>GKW, <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I was really looking forward to the showdown between Gandalf and The Witch King <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> So was I, but I’ve been questioning on different forums over the past couple of years how Jackson would show this. In the book, Gandalf does not follow the WK because Faramir may die, but I don’t believe Jackson would have accepted this in his screenplay. I don’t think Jackson’s Gandalf would have gone to Faramir, but would have followed the WK. So I’m not sure if it WILL be in the EE. <P>Doug <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Thankfully there were no troops of Elves <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Yes, I would have put my mortgage on elves being at the battle, but then I would have lost £93,000 so I’m glad I didn’t pop down the bookies.<P>PS. I thought the Battle of Pellenor fields and the siege of Gondor were absolutely brilliant. Thank God they had Merry stabbing the Witch King. For some stupid reason I thought Jackson wouldn't show this.
