    You made a mistake here Theoden did not go straight to Helms deep with his civilian population, that was strictly movie, in the book, (which is what you are mainly following here), he sent the people of Edoras (under Éowyn's leadership) to Dunharrow while he led all his fighting men to reinforce Erkenbrand in the west. However before he could reach there he learned that Saruman's forces had crossed the ford, this left him only one choice to retreat to Helms deep with what forces he had and join up with those remaining at the fort, while Gandalf rode to search for Erkenbrand and the remaining Rohirrim forces with him
    Another mistake you made is that Gandalf arrived with a thousand men on foot not riders and most of the men that Theoden led in his counterattack were also on foot with only a few on horse

      @@jordansmith1541 First off they didn't make the men of Rohan wimps, I don't know where you got that from, in case you forgot they showed their fortitude multiple times throughout the movie, such as the warg rider skirmish, the holding of the keep, the final charge of Rohan and of course the fact that they won the battle because of their cavalry skill.
      Also I don't see the issue, when I went to the cinema to see it the first time I remember well people cheering the arrival of the Elves. Furthermore peter jackson clearly stated his reasons for it. Which was to show in the movie that the Elves hadn't abandoned middle-earth or mankind, that they were still fighting and doing their part, which was mentioned in the books, but couldn't be in the movie.
      Furthermore the Elves were also there to represent the Grey Company, who also were left out of the movie sadly. As like the Grey Company the Elves were dressed in Grey Cloaks, and had been sent by Lady Galadriel to aid Aragon and his friends in their fight against Sauron

    • @Lightingwarrior
      @Lightingwarrior 2 года назад +9

      @@jordansmith1541 Also I am well aware of who originally said the poem and who it is about, I simply forgot to mention that in my original comment. It's not the only time the movie did it, for example when Theoden tells Aragon "Let this be the hour that we draw swords together" right before he charges out was in fact said by Eomer right before he Aragon and Gimili snuck around the secret gate and attack the Ura Kai at the Main gate of the keep
      However I understand why Jackson had Theoden say the poem in the movie and the lines he quote, since it was to highlight Theoden lamenting how alone the Rohirrim stand against their enemy, which did a good job in that scene and in fairness and they did the remaining lines are sung in Old English on the score in the background of that scene as well so it wasn't left out completely.
      The poem wouldn't have worked the same way with Aragon saying it.

    I'm glad they're trying to do the book version but some movie stuff is leaking in.
    1:55 There wasn't a column of women and children led to Helms Deep, Eowyn takes them to Dunharrow in the mountains. Theoden meanwhile rides out to reinforce the fords but encounters some survivors of the 2nd Battle of the Ford, who tell them that the fords have fallen. Gandalf advises them to go to the Hornburg while he rides off to rally Erkenbrand and his scattered forces. (Also not sure why the map shows the three companions and Eomer to be in different places to Theoden)
    9:10 The ents didn't break Saruman's dam they actually dam the Isen themselves to redirect it into Isengard.
    12:21 Erkenbrand and his men are on foot not riding in movie style

    Uh, a few corrections: The civilians of Edoras were actually sent to Dunharrow during the Battle of Helms Deep. That's the opposite direction of where Helms Deep was. Theoden also left about 1000 men at Edoras to hold the city. This forced Saruman into a difficult choice. Erkenbrand was still loose in the field, while Theoden was cooped up at Helms Deep. Saruman's plan was to take control of the country and if that meant taking Edoras, he would have done so. But Theoden had 2000 men at Helms Deep, 1000 of them were cavalry. And Erkenbrand had 1000 riders, too. If Saruman besieged the capital, he'd be harassed by Theoden's raiders, and then crushed by Erkenbrand's Hammer against Edoras' Anvil. This left Saruman with no choice but to lay siege to Helms Deep. Besides, if he managed to kill Theoden, he'd be able to take control of Rohan much faster.
    And then his army cracked like an egg at Helms Deep. Saruman had shown poor tactical competence, as he had failed to anticipate the Ents' arrival, and not taken precautions to have his Uruks dig trenches in preparations for counterattacks from the front or the rear. His army had been impressive as a proof of concept but failed miserably due to poor leadership and foresight.
    This victory forced Sauron to speed up his plans and send his deadliest general into the field: The Witchking of Angmar was taking to the field yet again. And this time, there was no Man who could kill him, so victory was assured, even if the army was broken, not even Gandalf could stand up to him.

      If I am not mistaken because It's been a long time since I last read the books. Gandalf could have had the Witch-king for breakfast since he is a Maiar just like Sauron. The only reason he didn't do so, is that his mission in Middle earth was to guide and counsel and not so much fight directly.

    • @Mercenaryminaturepainter
      @Mercenaryminaturepainter 2 года назад +5

      It's actually the major reason why Saruman acts so rashly. The Black riders (on their way to Bree) encounter Grima, who spills Saruman's plans. Grishnakh is later sent by a black rider to see what the Uruks were up to in Amon Hen. The orcs would have sold out Ugluk's band of Uruks to the Nazgul and handed over the hobbits but they're killed by Eomer's band first. Saruman planned to have the ring before launching his attack on Rohan but that plan is out of the window and Theoden now knows that he is an enemy so he launches the attack prematurely to stop Theoden from gathering his full forces in one place.

    If I would say one mistake you made, I do not think Gimli defeating Legolas by a single point references calling the dwarves superior to the elves. Either way, it is irrelevant because Legolas wasn't too upset. Instead, he was glad to see his friend safe.
    For at the end of the battle, Legolas said "My score is one less than you, but I do not grudge you. for I am glad to see you alive."

      Hard to do long lulls in combat during a movie. Books have the advantage of being able to relay in a single line that there is a lull in combat. Movies, you have to waste long minutes of time to do it.

    The Horn of Helm Hammerhand in particular in the book feels way more significant than the movie. Even though the movie has plenty of action it does really well for the Battle, when the horn is blown and Theodon and Aragorn charge the book really makes you feel how badass they are and even the Uruk-ai feel a stint of fear even though they outnumber them.

      I might be wrong, but I know that Hornburg is positioned with its back to NW and given the position of the Fjords, Gandalf may indeed come from North East, descending into the valley and then clashing into the ranks of the Uruk Hai from East.

    • @resileaf9501
      @resileaf9501 2 года назад +2

      Jackson wanted to have the elves have more involvement in the movies because otherwise, it looked like they did nothing whatsoever for the entire war. Even if it was stated in the books that they were fighting their own battles, not being able to see it in the movies would make them look like dicks. It was just his way of showing that the elves were also participating in the war and weren't just passive observers.

    The parley between Aragorn and the Uruk-hai is an interesting element. It shows, that the orcs did know terms or parley, and even respected them to some extend (they even warned Aragon to go away since he had nothing of value to say, before they started shooting at him).
    Also I must say the forces of Isengart and Rohan were much more even than some maybe think. Saruman could muster less than 15.000 men I guess, mostly infantry, while the Rohirim at full strength could mobilize around 12.000 men cavalry if they had time and prepare for war (Theoden say that number later when he get message from Gondor who ask for help, although after the war with Isengart he could only muster hal of that in time). It was Sarumans agent at Edoras and poor intel who made this war even possible since if Rohan was lead good from the start the chances of Isengart would be very limited.
