Good poiints Belegorn, and that is in the context of Tolkien showing the Rohirrim aspowerful warriors. They aren't a bunch of peasants wth pitch forks who will be cowed by sight of a sword.

as for what was left out of the films...well dont get me stsrted. for myself i would haveliked more character development and shorter battle scenes and fewer scenes of Frodo gawping into space but even when they came out I was not the target demographic.
