There is a much bigger battle to come, and you know that. No, I do not think "Why was TTT was a gore fest?" will that be the subject ten years from now.

Gorefest? - No... it wasn't... It is brutal, and dark, and the fighting is terrible. But it is supposed to be. In the book Gimli whacks the heads off orcs with his axe left and right! It isn't a sweet part of the story, they have to get through these wars to win them.

My favorite parts, the parts that make me smile through tears, will always be the beginning part and the end, because that is where my heart is. TTT is not my favorite part of the story, neither is the battle of Pelennor fields or Cormallen. I am a chick... I like the walking and talking parts. I read quickly through Helm's Deep to get back to Frodo.

But the films have helped me both picture the battles, which I could never do well before, and also FEEL them more. So I think the film is great.
