The Dead Marshes were very interesting, but I had always imagined them being a bit more creepy than that. Rotting faces, but not people who looked like they were simply sleeping under the water. Though it was kind of creepy when Frodo fell in.It was amazingly great how Smeagol saved Frodo. Nice move, Pete.I was exceedingly happy to see the Nazgul arrive. Flying Nazgul... muh ha ha!Yes, it was dark at the Marshes in the book, but if it were dark in the movie how would we have been able to see all the dead faces clearly? It would have been very terrifying, though. Maybe they could have the candles light up the faces or something? Hmm...Surprisingly the little kids in front of me didn't get scared during the Marshes, only when Gandalf hit Theoden on the head did he start screaming in terror. ~Nurumaiel
