<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I dont think that someone watching the movie who is not into the LotR would think that those men could hold off all of those orcs. Just my opinion.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> That's why I thought it'd have been better if PJ just would've stuck to the book with Helm's Deep. You know, have Eomer & 2000 (or was it 3000?) men there & then have Erekenbrand & the Hurons show up later with Gandalf. It's just a lot more believale that 2000 (or 3000) men could hold the Uruks off until sunrise then 300 men & 300 elves accomplishing that feat. But again, that was something I can live with...it'd just have been more believable if PJ had made it more booktual (I know that's not a word but oh well). <p>[ August 29, 2003: Message edited by: The Only Real Estel ]
