[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

There was so much I loved here but I'm not going to repeat what has already been said.

What I can add is that I think there was too much fechtin'. I didn't like the superhero 'Gorn, Legolas and Gimli because their exploits only make the Uruks look weak. Neither am I sure about the merits of including this new character, 'Lurtz'. I would have preferred it had Ugluk been in charge and had not died. I think the beheading of Lurtz by Aragorn while Boromir was dying is inappropriate, and seems to have been included to elicit a cheer from the movie audience.

I'd rather there was no fight between Aragorn and Lurtz and, instead, Aragorn had just found Boromir as he was dying.

A small quibble, though. Loved the end of the first film.
