Jaffa, I don't think that they did. I'm pretty sure the ents (or, more specifically, those other things like ents) came along and saved the day early on. Did you read the books?

I loved Helm's Deep but why did the Rohan wait so long to attack? The Urak-hai were standing within firing range for ages, the Rohan knew that no help was coming so they didn't have to hold them until such and such a time

yes i did read the books, and the trees didnt save the Rohan people at the battle of Helms Deep, they just killed all the Urak-hai that fled the battle. what do u mean by saying that they waited so long until they attacked? mabye they just were waiting to see what the Urak-kai were going to do!

Yeah they did:cofused: Killing all the Urak-hai = saving the Rohan, d'uh.

I mean, for example, an old guy shot one of the Urak-hai and Aragorn told him to hold. Why? They knew what the Urak-hai were going to do.

Maybe it wasn't like... proper way to open the/a battle? In any case it was unbidden, by either Aragorn (and why was he commanding it all?) or Theoden.

And isn't it Aragorn's fault that Haldir died? I mean, he calls out to Haldir to fall back, Haldir turns to tell others, and gets stabbed in the stomach. And why did he turn his back on the Uruk-Hai (who then promtly slashed him down the back )

lol, found out who Haldir was though. For those of you who watched Shortland Sreet - GUY WARNER!?! Oh dear lord!!1 It's just wrong!

Edit - huh, had a typo that seems to have corrected itself.

Anyway. Deus - reason the battle was so long may also be partly cos of that it was a major part in the book too (and the other major part they cut out)

Jaffa - Rohirrim, not Rohans. And I actually know where Valinor is and what the Valar are! Go me!
