favorite moments from book to screen (nothing plot revealing)

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2004)

(minor spoilers, but only if you haven't read the book.)
some of the more awe inspiring moments for me were The Rohirim riding into battle at Gondor, Faramir leading his troops into Osgillioth against impossible odds, the moment Pippin becomes a man (so to speak), and the whole of Minas Tirith bowing down to four halflings, who might earlier have been dismissed as insignificant...
it's moments like these that allow you to forgive the hollywood showboating of Orlando Bloom on the battlefield, and other such excesses.
