he was happy with his death because the last thing he saw was dead elves, preety elves though, then aragorn spoilt it, he started running over to haldir all grimy and sweaty and bloody, with everythng from mucus to urine on him, haldir saw he was coming to him and though *noooo* and tried to die quicker, which i think he suceeded in
The final battle of the Siege of Bard Dur could have been longer, though...
Anyway, I prefer Helm's Deep and I think that will be the prevailing opinion over time. Whilat Pelennor Fields was nice, and certainly the grandest in scale, it just didn'tt have the focus, good design and suspense of Helm's Deep. And I think posterity will remember Helm's Deep as the battle that had the most impact.
