I thought it was exciting, although quite different from the book. I especially didn't like Aragorn's arrival to the field, barely anything was made of it. I would have preferred a Galadriel voiceover;<P>"Thus came Aragorn, son of Arathorn......"<P>and you know the rest. I thought Theoden's death could have been about ten times more effective had it been done by the book.<P>Despite those quibbles, the action was very good. Death of the Witch King was pretty good, and Legolas's stunt was suitably over-the-top. No Dunedain though, Army of the Dead over-used.<P>No real elation at the end. And who on Earth was that pig who was commanding the Orcs?
