[QUOTE="David Howery, post: 1882777, member: 17239"] While the first movie was by far the most faithful to the book, I really didn't have many qualms about the next two movies... I certainly didn't dislike them. I rather liked the warg/Rohirrim fight (apparently, PJ took a minor note from the book and played it out into a major scene, rather like the fight with the troll in Moria, or the Mumakils at Pelennor). What I didn't like was Aragorn's seeming death and miraculous comeback... with Gandalf's miraculous rebirth, that was one miracle too many. It would have been better to just have the fight and then everyone goes on their way to Helm's Deep. Oh, and just what was supposed to have been missing from Eowyn's moment of glory? The movie seemed to follow the book damn near exactly on this episode, other than rearranging some of the dialogue (which had to be done, since everyone watching the movie knew it was Eowyn under the disguise, unlike in the book, where it was a mystery). As for the Scouring, I'd always thought it was a way of showing how the horrors of war can touch even the most protected and quiet of lands.... [/QUOTE]
