[Farael]

While I think that PJ did an overal good job with the movies *ducks an assortment of rotten vegetables, eggs past their prime and hobbit feet hair furballs* Calm down!! I Said he did a good job with the MOVIES not with the BOOKS... he made movies based on LoTR and I think they were good, they weren't the books on a big screen though.

Anyway, what I meant to say is that I think that the Mouth of Sauron is just not a beliable character. All through the movies we see that even the orcs are something more than an extension of the pure evil that grows out of Mordor... yet the Mouth of Sauron seems to be nothing but well... the mouth of Sauron. I mean, he doesn't even have peep holes on that awful helmet of his. He can't see where he's going! And for crying out loud, he doesn't even seem to have a nose... even the Black Horsemen (aka Nazghul on horses) have the sense of smell going for them.

And about Aragorn killing him far too easily, I don't know... I mean, Mouth of Sauron was there to negotiate (or rather to taunt, but officially...) so he would not be expecting a stroke. Even if MoS was a "super powa cool dark wizzard" as long as chopping his head off kills him, an unexpected blow is just as effective as with anyone else.
