Not including some women in defence of Helm's Deep is a pet peeve of mine. Clearly any healthy women between 18 and 40 would be far more useful than some 12 year old boy.<P>I imagine it didn't happen because of the incessant hostile reaction to increasing Arwen's role in the 1st movie. <P>That said, the battle is put together very well. Unlike Lucas and his Star Wars filmes, one gets the impression of not only how our heroes are fairing in the battle, but also the big strategies in place by both sides. <P>PS<BR>I actually love Jackson's decision to include the elves.
