Or how Gimli still manages to crack a joke when faced with an army of hideous ghouls. Strange.

You know, that kind of bothered me. Yeah, in Helm`s Deep they were making a game out of killing the orcs, but this is different. The Battle of the Pelennor Fields was much bigger than Helm`s Deep. I can see that PJ wanted to add humor to the movie,but... I don't know.

I can see where you are coming from Eomer. They did not build up the emotion and tragedy of it all in the movie. Yes, Theoden's death scene was rather sad, but personally, I think it would have been better if it had been more... what's the word... tragic, I guess. I admit that I enjoy the dark part of movies.

I think the counting thing was funny. Even if it was totally unreal. NOBODY I mean, NOBODY would make a game out of an army they couldn't even see. (Referring to Gimli.) No matter how weird and unliteral, it was still funny.

And also, you'd think that at least one of the head haunches would die, for instance, Eomer, or Gimli, or Eowyn. I wonder who the most obsessed person with LOTR is.

There was too much of an over-reliance on CGI during the battle IMO that failed to capture much of the humanistic elements already commented upon.
