Good poiints Belegorn, and that is in the context of Tolkien showing the Rohirrim aspowerful warriors. They aren't a bunch of peasants wth pitch forks who will be cowed by sight of a sword.

as for what was left out of the films...well dont get me stsrted. for myself i would haveliked more character development and shorter battle scenes and fewer scenes of Frodo gawping into space but even when they came out I was not the target demographic.

You mean the disturbed, illiterate 12 year-old demographic?

I remember seeing the first movie and instantly realized along with my friend, how many people never even read the books. It was the scene when the Hobbits were smoking weed and everyone thought it was the weed people in our world smoke, hahahahahaha

Errr... actually plenty of people who read the books manage to draw that inference, too.

The Aragorn from Peter Jacksons 'The Murder of: The Lord of The Rings' actually looks like some dopey stoner; he would of been better suited with a bong is his hand when he was sitting in the corner of 'The Prancing Pony' smoking.
