Haldir's Death

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.

true but it has an impact on how horrific the battle of helms deep actually is

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 😉

yes but if aragorn didn't shout him he might of been able to move on from the piont he was at and aviod that urak hai

your terminology is alright in my books,

it was merely a suggestion

thats wat everybodys is

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

because it is more emotional than when anything else happens ... u always seem to get sad music playing when they die which makes it worse

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?

yup me ... but i prefer TTT

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.

i thought it was very moving and added more emotions to the battle

true ... very true ... i honour that. Haldir did not deserve that at all...

..neither did all the other elves who fought at the coomb. If only they showed some alive at the end of TTT.

very very true ... you have a point. There was not one single elf left at the end of the battle, which I'm sure Elves are not that weak.

They are weak at the close combat

so are the men.

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.
