For horse-lord's was it me or throughout the film, didnt you expect to see more horses? Also the only problem I had with the battle was when Gandalf and the rest charged down that hill and jumped into the orcs, horse's would never jump such a thick, solid barrier like that, they would try to go round it. Napoleon (sp?) used squares to upset the cavalry long ago, and the same would of happened here. Also when Aragorn etc galloped out trampling the orc's, which would be understandable if the where at full gallop and the orcs where dead, and that hadnt seen them until the last second. But it was an amazing battle, and it made you gasp. And I enjoyed it.
