I agree with Lily Bracegirdle on the Legolas question. He is a little elusive as a character in the books, so turning him into a dude in the film worked very well. As a purist, I have to confess, I loved the shield surf! (Ducks HAIL of stones)<BR>Helms Deep, which was just a chapter/skirmish in the book TT, was made hugely more significant in the film, but it was really well done, the best battlescene I've ever seen - so that would count as an improvement. <BR>I disagree about Aragorn and Eowyn though. I loved Icemaiden Eowyn of the book. Miranda Otto was lovely, yes, but too Meg Ryanish for my liking.<p>[ January 15, 2003: Message edited by: Lalaith ]
