I thought I was the only one thinking Rohan looked small...<P>I really have to see the movie again for a better opinion, but: Theoden was no wimp. Maybe I'm just a girl, but I for one would like to have a king who sees war as the absolutely last option. That's how it should be. You have to make sure there is <I>nothing</I> else you can do before marching into a battle. And even when doing that, a good leader doesn't feel himself proud and honorable. Much more sad. He is, afterall, probably leading thousands of men to their deaths. <BR>And to me, that doesn't make a man any less noble. On the contrary.
