I liked some of the comic relief in TTT, but I wanted to see Gimli's dwarvishness more. In the movie, he seems to do so little in terms of helping the fellowship compared to Legolas who has that uncanny ever-regenerating arrows [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Also I didnt like how the Elves were represented in battle at Helms Deep (despite the fact that they should NOT have been there). I mean, the Uruk-hai, unexperienced orcs in battle that they are, are hacking the Elves left, right and center. Seriously, these Elves are hardened warriors that have seen conflict over an age.

I thought Theoden's character was a bit too harsh, and we didn't get to see Eomer's relationship with Gimli at all, an incident i thought would have been better comic relief in the film.
