I never noticed that before. But yeah, where did they all vanish to? Maybe they all got scared of the big bad Uruks and turned into rocks.

2) There is the fact that they made Anduril so damn big that Aragorn could never wear it sheathed throughout the whole movie except when hes on a horse, and for the point when he becomes king, even then it looks ridiculously big.

I agree. Then there's the fact that he's supposed to be carrying Narsil/Anduril the whole freakin' time he's in the movies, since he pulls it out in Bree and his sword is only about a foot long and broken. At least it is in the books. Actually, all of Aragorn's swords are way too long to be sheathed comfortably at his side, I think. They all look like bastard swords or broadswords. No way you're going to sheathe those at your waist. Those go on your back (or better yet, have your page/donkey carry them.
)

3) The scene when the trio enter Rohan from their chase after the battle at Rauros. Aragorn asks "Legolas, what do your elf eye's see". He replies "The unit has turned NORTH EAST, they are taking the hobbits to Isengard." Legolas needs a compass. I thought Isengard was at the western most point of Rohan.

HOLY CRAP!!!! There's an instance where Legolas isn't Superelf?! He got something wrong?! I'm surprised PJ and Co. didn't do something about this in post-production. I mean, he's got impeccable fashion sense, he never gets filthy, he can shoot a fly off a Műmak's arse from a league away, he can hold about 20 glasses of mead without any ill effects, he can do some weird vaulting thingy into a saddle, et cetera, et cetera, ad nauseam, why can't he get directions right?! Because we all know that OMFG Leggy is t3h r0xz0rz!!!1!!!!!11111!!!
