Mariska, I'm so glad I'm not the only one to think that orc looked like Sloth from "the Goonies"! Every time I saw him I wanted to start chanting "BABY RUTH! BABY RUTH!" He really almost ruined the battle for me. Maybe PJ got tired of everyone complaining the bad guys were all "dark-skinned" and decided to give us a pink orc, but it was *not* a good move.<P>I thought the "stirring battle speeches" in the movie lacked oomph, but seeing the charge of the Rohirrim was a sight, as were the fell beasts. Loved the flying heads, and the trolls were just terrifying. The Mumaks were great, too. Legolas' stunt actually made me laugh with glee, although it ended ridiculously.<P>-Lily
