He did show an emotional moment when saw the fate of his fellow elves, but I always felt that was unecessary since they cannot truly die as men. Elves always end up at the Hall of Mandos when their physical bodies die. At that moment, it seemed trivial to show Haldir's sadness at so much death of his kin. But I understand it was more of an emotional impact for the moviegoers.

Nah Aragorn didnt distract him - he merely shouted out to tell haldir to pull back to the keep. Haldir was making sure all the elves on the wall knew to pull back, then he killed an orc, then was wounded, then hit over the head coz he didnt see the uruk-hai. aragorn wasnt responsible at all *shrugs* thats my terminology

I think it was sad that Haldir died. I even got the song when he died. And what is of this talk about all the elves dieing? they probaly fled to the catacombs near the end of the revine, where gimli was held up in the books but poor haldir he was my hero! now my new hero is Imrahil its always sad when an elf dies
i have to say i liked it but when haldi died it sucked. haldi was my favorite character in the trilogy. now legalos is my favorite. the game is really cool if you beat it you can be king arogorns father. but hte game gets really hard as you go along. i know this is the movie site. did anybody see the third one?

In the book, Haldir did not die. I dont know why you - LegolasLuva - are so worked up about it. I was really upset, too, obviously, and cried for days ... but quite honestly, he wasnt supposed to die in the book, so you shouldn't be so hyped up about that. Is this Peter Jackson's story or JRR Tolkien's? Honestly...
And by the way ... Haldir is mine ... my own ... my precious ... so hands off.
haldir's death was one of the tragical moments in the movie. If you ask me, that should not be his fate. He did not have a chance of burying into a grave like Theodred.

If you talk about the unarmored men or villagers, you are right but if you talk about Gondor, i think you are mistaken. Haldir, I remember he did some pretty good moves however if you remember the time the keep exploded all elves were killed by Uruks' spears.
