Never mind that the staff of Gandalf, which the
Witch King conclusively destroyed in this scene, is back in Gandalf's hands
not too many frames later, and it remains there until the end of the film.

Gandalf doesn't have the staff again until the end of the movie when they are all back in Minas Tirith. It does look like the same staff...he probably used up some XP and made another one...
 


Hey Mark, thanks for the long review. Fortunately for me, I'm rarely a purist, and the things you said that you didn't care for I really enjoyed. So for me, an overall win (although still missing the Scouring).
 

I think that Jackson does indeed understand Tolkien's work, but the medium of film required the changes that he made. While I understand the purpose of the Scouring in the books, it's horribly anti-climactic compared with the rest of the story and wouldn't work on film.

No biggie.

See, I have an Algebra exam on the 14th, so I'd be almost an expert on Tuesday being the 14th ;).
Now when did this thread devolve from "official ENWorld RotK Reaction Thread" to "official ENWorld calendar thread"?

Can't.

Wait.

That's all. :)
