Vague ROTK spoilers

Uruk-Hai. Personally, didn't think the shield bit was that cool.
I didn't actually like how they used Gimli as comic relief all the time; the books don't do that. And also didn't show Legolas and Gimli's friendship growing, which I think it did in the book. Also, what the hell happened with the horse?! Can't remember exactly when, think it was when they were ambushed going to Helm's Deep, but Legolas reaches up to horses right side to clamber on, then kinda "flies" round to the left and climbs into the saddle that way?
Yeah, liked the black gate. Hadn't realised quite how many Uruk Hai there were though. Kinda daunting. Alos reminds me of the Thomas Covenant series.

Fangorn Forest, isn't it?
quote: 4. the Ring Wraiths beasts, they looked just like i imagined them
But that beast (or the Ringwraith) would so not have flown away once it had seen the ring right in front of it. And that part didn't happen in the book either.
Yeah, and I wasn't too impressed with the Helm's Deep battle, but that's just me. Prefer Lothlorien. Though I'm sure in the book, they made more of a deal of those trapped in Helm's Deep waiting for the Riders of Rohan or other allies to come to their aid. (Which I thought was done well in the book, cos didn't know if they were gonna come or not, thought suppose it was briefly touched on in the movie with a couple of lines about old and lost alliances.)
Major spoilers for ROTK
Spoiler:
The reason we didn't get to see Shelob was cos she's only in the third part - they've cut out the Hobbits reclaiming the Shire (and half the Aragron/Arwen future epilogue bit, sigh), so they're obviously gonna make Shelob the main plot in the last one, in order to replace the Shire part.

Well, how great can a horse look?

And they moved and talked to fast. And were too small!
