You have to give PJ a break on the Shadowfax part. A horse rearing up on its hind legs, I admit, is a huge cliche. BUT the reason it's that way is because it's very heroic and dramatic. I must say that I would have done it if I was the director. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>The "Olympic" runner orc with the torch for lighting the explosives at Helm's Deep! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Alright. So we're all captivaded by this huge epic battle and suddenly the ranks of the Uriki spit to reviel an orc running with a torch to light the bomb. And though I tried very hard to make that seen feel like it goes with the rest of the movie I can't do it. After we first saw the movie my brother told me that orc looked like he was in the Olimpics. I have no idea if this was intenional or not but in my opinion it was more cheesy then dramatic.
