That surely would have left room for Saruman's death, Gandalf vs. W-K, etc. But that's just me. The end of the book has made me cry every time I've read it (18 or 19 times now), but I found the film to be beating me over the head with the director's cry stick, and as a viewer, I find that alienating, not to mention annoying. I like to think I'm a sophisticated enough viewer that I don't need the director to beat my head with a stick.Anyway, Hypersmurf: Very cool line of work you have there. Are you a fight guy all the time, or do you do other stunt work? What's your background? How long have you been at it? What other credits do you have? Forgive me if I'm being too nosy -- that's a very intriguing kind of work to me. Email if you'd rather not boast to the masses. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
