***SPOILERS!!!!***<P>But why ride to Isnegard if Saru's not doing anything?<P>MAYBE (this is the only gleam of hope) they meant that they cut out Grima killing Saru.<P>If they cut out Isengard, it's $%&%*(%£&^ed up. Firstly, "***?! Where is Saruman?! THis film is confusing!" THat's one reaction that'll appear, and put a damper on the film. Secondly, how do Merry and Pippin appear?<BR>Thirdly, since the Treegarth of Orthanc won't amke it if this won't, the Ents will also seems to "disappear" in RotK (a distasteful phenomenon which happened to an extent to Sauron and Sarumna (personally) in TTT). Which would seem pathetic to viewers.<BR>Also: how do they know Gondor's in trouble? Ok, so they guess, for instance, that Sauron will attack Godnor. But they don't know. NO reason (speed) to take Paths of Dead, NO tension in Ride of the Rohirrim...not even Aragorn's challenge to Sauron in the plantír which explains his too-hasty attack (they cut loads of stuff like this to dumb the films down, and it suffers noticably for it because it make them seem stupid).<P><BR>This sucks.
