I don't see it quite like you do. I mean counting pages. It's rather the importance and a number of events that are to be presented. Not to mention the way in which some of them should be shown on silver screen. Think of Shelob's Lair. If you wish to create the proper, frigtening atmosphere, you need to have your heros hanging around half-blinded in the darkness, before you show the monster itself. Which takes time.<BR>That's why I say that there won't be enough time to present everything thoroughly in the third film.<BR>Nevertheless, PJ has all the material recorded, so let's hope that he has a reasonable vision of what will be in the third part. (I'm especially interested how he is going to state clerly that the Pellenor Battle was much more important and bigger than Helm's Deep, when the latter lasted about twenty minutes.)Or we may be disappointed.
