Halidar's death was a bit sad.. i had a bit of a teary moment in the cimena's.. like him and arogorn were mates..., but i also have a bit of a tear when the elves rocked up to Helm's deep... just kindof gave me hope that they all weren't gonna die real quickly.. i haven't gotten up to the bit in the book where he dies.. is it in the third book???
i think that pj well his writers anyway who filled in the gaps did a fantastic job of sort of summerising each section so it was right for the movie
no bit went totally away from the book so as to ruin the book.
even though every little detail wasnt included he still captured the different moods tolkein was trying and did create. thats the main thingi
its alright for people to say which things were changed but theuy shouldnt say it ruined the movie and therefore pj did a bad job, sure its something to talk about but he had to change things so as to make it a good movie and no he didnt ruin any part of the movie by changing details from the books, the part with farimir is debatable but yeah
lol yea the times are mad different...like it says its 5:03 am on ur last post..bt its 12:42pm here in the US...lol but yea i do agree...for not following the books ver batum..i still think it made for a pretty interesting movie. there still are some scenes that i wouldn't have minded seeing in the movies tho : /

Spoiler:
merry + pip DO NOT die in gondor, they go back to the shire!!!
ooh my bad.. whoopsies..totally misread that up there... but merry and pippen don't die in the shire.. they leave and do a bit of travelling and both of them are by theordin when he dies and they die soon after i think... well that's what it says in those huge are appendices at the end of the book.. man that was a read

I hope JRR Tolkien does not have acess to see the movie in Valinor, because maybe he will send all the Valar and Maiar to fight their last battle against Peter Jackson's cast.
*LOL*
But (I think) Tolkien was human, so nobody knows if he's really in Valinor...
The arrival of the elves was one of my favourite scenes, yet I think it's stupid;
Though there were still some hundred elves left in Middle-earth, they were far too weak to do something like that; while the earth dies, they're fading away, and usually fading people don't fight
