Charge of the Rohirrim

Tolkien based the horsy Rohirrim in medieval Celts; they are Irish, with a Nordic language.

The language could have been simplified. It didn't have to become corny one liners.
And actually, that could have been very well done in a film- even with dramatic pacing. Shakespeare is still adapted into film, is he not? And it works out just well.

Had the music and scene played out only slightly differently it could have been recreated well.

Well judging by the scene, Gandalf was not the threat, so it would have been a waste of time and a far bigger threat emerged.

Well, Eowyn /did/ say: "But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Eowyn I am, Eomund's daughter.[...]". So what would you have the line be? I, for one, can not imagine Miranda Otto crying the book line without turning the movie in some sort of parody. The language of Tolkien is deliberately old-fashioned; try to live a day in your live speaking like that, I dare you.

my favourite scene from modern cinema :)

Still amazing this scene.

Um, why didn't the Witch King just kill Gandalf first before flying off?

@kashattack
Because Peter Jackson is really adept at opening up plot-holes. In the book, he didn't break Gandalf's staff. Because Gandalf would have murdered him.

because using a thesaurus makes you cool on youtube.

@KnotsNerd
Where the fuck was it implied that I used a thesaurus? You were the one actually suggesting that I use totally irrelevant synonyms. Good job, detective dipshit.

"Try furthermore, despite the fact that the second comment wasn't to reinforce your previous point, and in fact had nothing to do with it! Just because it's grammatically correct it has to work out, right?!"

Holy shit, so fucking dumb.
