I do think that the scene was lame, but PJ had a lot on his hands with Helm's Deep and things like that and it was probably the best he could get for an exciting Frodo-Sam etc scene. And by what I said in an earlier post, I didn't mean that people would be criticizing that Faramir was like the book one (even though I personally like the new Faramir because of how David Wenham plays him), but that we would all be saying that there wasn't enough that actually happened with Frodo and Sam. Because there were really only 3 other 'action-y' scenes with them (whereas with the other characters, there were much more): a. when they caught Gollum b. in the dead marshes c. at the Black GateProbably I've missed one, but you get what I mean.Edit: The Nazgul would probably have called up his buddies, but do you realize that the time he had to do it was a matter of seconds? And possibly they were too far away to come that fast. Maybe he did call them up, except they only catch up in RotK... we'll never know until December.[ April 29, 2003: Message edited by: GaladrieloftheOlden ]
