Beautifully done. Only those old epics have fights of this magnitude, these days CGI takes realism away. But this one was excelent, thou it had CGI, it wasnt overdone.
Bigger in people there but not really in how much actually happened.
I think there was so much more to Helm's Deep. It was a better done battle. And I think the anticipation in build up was better there also.
And I think retrospect will have people thinking that Helm's Deep had more impact, all things considered.
Incidentally, the best shot battle scene I ever saw was the French commandos storming the town in The Longest Day. No other film I know has such an amazingly well choreographed single shot without the use of editing or computer work.

Lord> they had thousands of extras!
But the point is, it still looked incredibly real, and it was AWESOME, no matter how much there was
Terminator 2: T-800 v the T-1000
X-Men 2: Wolverine v Lady Deathstrike (extended version)
Starwars Ep2 (AOTC): Arena Battle scene when all the Jedi fight the Robots, Count Dooko v Master Yoda
Starwars Ep5 (Empire Strikes Back): Darth Vader v Luke Skywalker
Freddy V Jason: The fight scene in Freddys Turf then the big fight at the end on Jasons turf.
There the best fight scenes.
I'd say the kill Bill fights asell, the music for them makes them hit the top, i get shivers from watching some of those. The matrix had the best aswell though. But if yu think about the fights scenes you've watched most of the time the music makes the scene, if the music was worng the fight would be no where near as good.
