He played Haldir, the leader of that troop of elven archers that marched in before the battle started. (I could probably dig up a screen shot so you can go, " Oh, THAT guy!" :p)

(When I first saw the movie in the theatre I thought it might be Jason Isaacs (aka Luscious Lucius) and was bummed not to see his name in the credits.)

[kittenmommy]

Ah, OK. Once you said "Luscious Lucius", I knew who you meant. LOL!

[silverr]

*hehehe* yeah.

And I see from wikipedia that actually in the movie they took what Haldir did in the books and S'mored it up with another elf-whose-name=also-begins-with-H who was the actual character in the book who led the archers at Helm's Deep.

Phew. Adapting long complex books with huge worlds is a tough gig.

[kittenmommy]

Ironically, all of this stuff might be why I like the movies better. I suck at being a fantasy fan, I guess.. I mean, my favorite fantasy series is The Chronicles of Narnia. :p

[silverr]

I don't mind big sprawly worlds with casts of dozens: if they're vividly written, it's pretty easy to keep everything sorted in your head.

However, my misty memory of LotR was that it was like reading lace. Very intricate, but after a while a lot of it blurred together. ~ Having said that, I do give the guy props for creating such an incredibly (some would say obsessively) detailed world. I don't know where LotR fits into the history of fantasy literature, but I expect that he was one of the first to be so vast.

YES! That is the perfect description!

Absolutely! Shame about it being as dull as watching paint dry.

LotR is the basis for most of modern fantasy. Dungeons and Dragons is basically the races of Middle-earth with the serial numbers rubbed off.

Actually there were no elves at Helm's Deep, they were busy defending their own lands from attacks. Also, Eomer was at Helm's Deep for the whole battle, the force that came in and helped defeat the attackers was led by a random Rohirim commander.

Random fact: I never read the Helm's Deep or Minas Tirith parts of the books until after the movies.
