Helm's Deep BAttle specifics

[samrohan]

Firstly, I have to admire Peter Jackson for a formidable battle, with very good action scenes and a good interpretation in general of the book. But as an avid LOTR fan I have my own views on how things should be and don't like most deviations from the book.<P>Correct me but I certainly don't remember a troup of elves from the Lothlorien, especially not the commanding elf who welcomed them to the forest come marching into Helm's Deep.<P>And though the scene where our favorite Legolas comes surfing down the steps is good for the movies, I reckon it cheapens the image of the book.<P>As a whole, the battle is fabulous and my favorite part of the Two Towers.<P>There is also no mention about Gandalf and the Huorn clearing the battle field of the dead orc bodies the following days, that would have been a nice touch.<P>However I lift my little hobbit hat to you PJ....
