Just the way that it's done makes it so obvious that it was just thrown in there and really didn't belong. I mean, it kinda took you out of the actual battle to show Legolas sliding down a couple of stairs... and the music to it sounds pretty cheesy. I dunno, it just didn't do anything for me.<P>And about the whole mounting horse stunt... that was rather eye-catching, but I highly doubt it was done by the actor (or a stunt man). And as din said, it took away from the movie and made everyone sit there and ask themselves 'was that CGI?!' *shakes head* I trust PJ to a certain extent... but I'm worried that he might get a little... well, carried away, shall we say?, with the stunts. Hey, it could happen to anyone.<p>[ September 08, 2003: Message edited by: arianrod ]
