I was neither happy or saddened at his death. Now that I think about it, he had the only real "death scene" in the movie. I mean, I believe that Hama was killed by one of the Warg riders, but they didn't dwell on it.<P>So taking into consideration that Haldir's death was supposed to be our Departure of Boromir scene, it came up way short. Granted, the battle was too busy and Haldir's character wasn't explored enough to dwell on his death with the emotion of Boromir's. But one of the things this movie really missed compared to the first one was a truly heart-rending scene. Did they expect that this would be it?<P>I don't know if it's just me, but it left me feeling apathetic, even though I did like Haldir better in this movie than the last. Showing up at Helm's Deep was pretty nice of him, even if it wasn't from the book.
