Funny realization occured...

Lol I felt the same way about that, and how several elves literally ran head on into the pikes, I appreciate they were running slightly downhill, but I thought they were nimble

And yeah they should have just kept on firing

I feel the same way (don't we all). There are so many moments in the LOTR movies where I wish I could just take command for a second and show the elves and Rohirrim (and the movie makers) how real life battles work. Every time I watch it, I keep thinking I could have done things better.

One other thing about Helms Deep battle - in the book Legolas say sth like:
"If a hundred of my fellow elves were here, we will shot them all".

In movie you have at least 300 elves....

Starship troopers...... I understand the opening scene where they first drop because they thought they would just shoot up some bugs...but when they repeatedly send nonstop waves of infantry that whole movie with no armoured vehicles or anything of that type...that depressed me

and the fact that their entire space fleet just hovered above the planet within range of that explosive bug plasma sh!t and the entire fleet got shot down...very..ugh..

Yeah... that was pretty retarded... but atleast someone got fired for it. The book was like 100x and is actually required reading for Westpoint and the cartoon is atleast 10x better.

I do find myself yelling at a fair share of movies but I'll over look it if it has a good story and is mildly entertaining.

It's a love it or hate it film. I actually was bored and put the book down. Unemotional and too detailed for what actually goes on in the book. Liked the power armor though and how the capital ships shot them towards the ground. Yeah the marine corp has taken a love to the book the second it was published. They're even trying to create the stuff in the book.

It's easier to overlook the tactical thing when you see the movie as a parody which is the obvious intention.

The movie is, the way I see it, deliberately silly in the way things are conducted. This goes to the braindead battle tactics as well as everything else.

Well Orlando Bloom was a better commander and soldier in Kingdom of Heaven.

[russia almighty]

If I were the commander in the battle at the end of Narnia I'd of SOMEHOW gotten ahold of armored indian elephants .


And maybe some kataphraktoi . Hey Ice Queen I hope you like Konto's shoved up your rear's ass !

In reality the book no Elf support arrives in Helm's Deep. It simply can't happen because both Lothlórien and Mirkwood/Dale are under attack at that time.

After reading the books, I can no longer stand watching the movies; and whenever I see a bunch of idiots petitioning for PJ to rape film The Hobbit I want to feed them to werewolves.

The worst thing about the movies is...well, maybe the best thing...hell, I dunno! They made me wonder what the hell this Tolkien craze in the net was about and read the books. Now I'm a Middle-earth nerd beyond the hope of recovery.
