Agree with you about the witch king. I just loved the lines "Feast on his Flesh" soon followed by "No man may kill me, I am not a man, I am a woman" - whop!! marvellous.

Wow, we agree on something. wierd.
That was my favorite secen in the book and the movie though in both cases the use of "no man of woamn born" ploy still gets me.

It is hard to have more than a few heros in a movie. That is my major complaint in the Tom Clancy books/movies. The books show average people being heroic, the movies Not. I think Faramir got caught up in this and had his heroism turned down.

I have a complaint about the horses and elephants. They will not ride close to one another. This is true in real life as well as in the books. The movie has them riding past each other. No problem.

Right.

ine (in no particular order of importance), are as follows:

>1 missing out Tom Bombadil and the Barrow Downs in Fellowship;

My least 2 favorite chapters in the book, so no loss IMO.

>2 Irish music being played in Hobbiton, when they were English (OK OK minor gripe I know)

Didn't even notice.

>3 Elves turning up at Helms Deep!!

I actually didn't mind this. I hated the Legolas skateboard scene.

>4 Completely underplaying Faramir, he is one of the most noble and heroic characters in the book, and that suicide charge in ROTK was bloody silly;

Agreed.

I liked the extended Arwen character, but hated the portrayal of Elrond. Probably the only casting choice I had issue with.

oh yeah... I hope those poor blokes can get over their financial problems, I hear those struggling artists are really having a hard time with things. Think we can make a donation somewhere, just to make sure they dont end up on the street?

...riiiiiight
