My quarrel was instead a rather miniscule one with the fact that Peter Jackson decided to film Arwen riding with the Rohirrim at Helm's Deep. I do not see how Peter Jackson could insert something like that into the trilogy without a serious loss of respect for Mr. Jackson from avid Tolkien readers, therefore the mere fact that he decided to film such an occurrence made him lose a bit of credibility in my eyes.<P>-Angmar
