I just want to see Eowyn decapitate one of those "fell beasts".<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> If they were a little "weaker" this time around its because they were airborn instead of at ground level. They're bound to be quieter with the atmosphere swallowing the sound up. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>But the camera pans around with the Nazgul. When it comes nearer, the shriek ought to be louder. Loudness aside, I thought the sheer force of the sound was a bit less impressive this time. Treebeard's call was amazing in its volume and intensity, but the Nazguls' didn't even come close. <P>Now that I've seen the movie again, I noticed that there is a ringing pitch to the call when they're in the Dead Marshes, but it isn't something you notice at first.
