Aragorn the Ranger

[The Fuzz]

I do recall Aragorn using his bow during the movie Fellowship of the Ring. When they were in Moria, holding the door, Aragorn and Legolas both are using their bows.

You'll typically see in movies our heroes easily kill and fight there way through a seemingly endless horde of this canon fodder. Hence, why Aragorn (in the movies) probably goes charging in with a sword, so he can hack up them nasty orcses. I think you get a different impression of the Orcs in the books (or at least in LOTR).

Well said!
