[Lord Elrond]

There are tons of mistakes in the movies. The topic of Gimli and Legolas talking about ladders is in my opinion a mistake because first nobody would be speaking in Elvish during the battle according to the book. If however we were to assume that the elves were at Helm's Deep (which in itself makes you wonder how that many elves were sent from Lothlorien by the order of Rivendell to Helm's Deep, they must have made some really good timing") most of them probably would not understand Aragorn seeing as they spoke a kind of Elvish used only in Lothlorien and Aragorn didn't know that but only Sindarin. Also didn't Gimli score 42 in the final count and Legolas 41 or am I mistaken. The color of the horses Hasufel and Arod are mistake too I believe, as well as the fact that Legolas did not use saddle or bridle. <BR> Did anyone catch that the manuscript Gandalf reads in FOTR while in Minas Tirith says "In the year 3434" and this is supposedly when Isildur came back to Minas Tirith to reorder the South Kingdom after the War of the Ring. 3434 the war was still going on and they had not even laid seige to Barud Dur and Isildur probably didn't even know what the ring looked like either. There are so many mistakes in the movie I don't know where to continue so I think I'll just stop. However in doing so I will say that although I think Peter jackson took way too many liberties in changing things he still made the movies very enjoyable (if not completely true to the book) and I don't think many other directors could have done better as a whole.
