**RotK - Gothmog (Chief Orc at the Pelennor) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

First time I saw ROTK, I really liked the inclusion of this character (personifies the orcs and all)...but the second time I was irritated beyond measure and wanted to throw my popcorn at him every time he appeared on screen. He came across as stereotypical-drill -sergeant-meets-Elephant-Man, an unholy union of stock characters. <P>This isn't exactly on topic, but does have to do with orcs... weren't their eyes a wee bit too large and brown? I actually felt sorry for them when the Rohirrim charged. ("oh, look, they have puppy-dog eyes! They're not so evil after all!")
