Gimli's combat scenes

While I do agree that Helm's Deep was a little drawn out, I enjoyed every minute of it. When I first thought about what the battle would look like on the screen, I had my doubts. Hollywood has a fedish with jazzing up battle scenes in a highly stylistic way. In reality, when you have ten thousand enemies breathing down your neck, you don't care about your style. You're just gonna start swinging at whatever gets too close to you. As much as I like Helm's Deep, I hope they don't add too much to the Extended Edition. I would much rather see more of the Ents or Sam's struggle with Gollum and Frodo.
