It's hard to say which was worse, the green slime at the Battle of
Minas Tirith or Gandalf assaulting the Stewart of Gondor in direct contravention to his instructions. Actually, I suppose the green slime, especially since in the movie there is no reason Aragorn then lets them go, not even letting them get in a little dwarf tossing. All it would have taken was a brief scene of Aragorn letting the green slime go (even quoting the book), and rallying the Gondorians. Btw, PJ and friends missed one of the great scenes in the book of Eomer seeing the black ships Arwen banner and tossing up his sword and the bells of Gondor ringing. (An echo of Churchill's having the bells in British churches ringing [after Alamein?] )?

The special effects were bad. It was Flubber... or else something that was left over on the cutting room floor of "The Frighteners."
But then again, the movie was already so unwieldy. I can see how the plot decision was made, easily enough.

It was not only the Armies of men aboard the ships that I missed, I really love it when the re-inforcments arrive at Minas Tirith before the siege. The description of the different companies and especially to hear of the hopes and disapointment of the people.
