ROTK Extended (Dec 14 2004 23:47 GMT) - Well, where to begin? The scene at Orthanc makes a lot more sense with Saruman back in. Of course, without the Scouring of the Shire it runs differently than the book - but as I thought when I first read about that, I realized that the scouring would seem very anti-climactic on screen. The wrapup with Saruman should have been in the original - it worked very well. Heck, his "brigands and dogs" speech to Theoden makes Theoden's later admission to Eowyn - that it was not him that saved the day at Helm's Deep also makes more sense. |
