So a great power and royalty was revealed in Aragorn, as he stood there alone above the ruined gates before the host of his enemies, that many of the wild men paused, and looked back over their shoulders to the valley, and some looked up doubtfully at the sky.
Originally posted by King Aragorn I haven't seen the movie yet, but in the book, my favorite part was when Legolas and Gimli were having their little game in Helm's Deep.
You picked my favorite part of the Two Towers. The scene of Aragorn above the gates.
The Orcs hurling challenges at him. "bring down your King ! We are the Fighting Uruk Hai ! We care nothing for the morning or night." and then The blowing of Helms horn and the Cries from the soldiers cheering. Then the retreating army of saruman being caught between the defenders of the Hornburg and Erkenbrand/Gandalfthe White and the Hurons.
BTW in the book Im sure Gamling the Old states that there is 700 horse and a thousand foot at Helms Deep when Theoden arrives. Add to that the troops Theoden and Eomer bring Im sure I think I heard was 3000 Soldiers at Helms Deep not 300.
My favorite part of the Movie ?
Sams speech at the end was great way to end. Some battles scenes at helms deep (the charge from the keep). Oddly I liked seeing the battle at Osgilath. Shame Frodo had to be there.
I think the two towers movie will be better if you can DELETE scenes from it. If you remove Fangorn saying "NO" The elves arrriving and Haldirs death at Helms Deep", Aragorn Falling into the water, and Frodo and Sam scenes at osgiliath (and faramirs boasting" this movie isnt too far off the mark. (I know some hate the Arwen scenes. They arent that bad".
I should stop being obsessed with the villains.
Seriously, it's a fascinating chapter. The only one reason why...
It's sad, too. I think it's my best part in all LOTR.
Just on the subject of ttt dvd's - The extended version comes out on Dec 18th and has 40 mins extra film!!!
Anyhoo, my favourite part in TTT book is definatly when Legolas and Gimli are having a competition to see who can kill most ors, and then when, at the end when Gimli has won, legolas says:' You have passed my score by one, but I do not grudge you the game, so glad am i to see you on your legs'.
also in the film i like all the legolas/aragorn moments such as when aragorn comes back from the fall over the cliff and legolas startes at him and says 'you're late' Bless them both!
