Battle of Helms Deep

Was that first early arrow shot some wort of strategical mistake? Why were they so angry about it?
What was point of waiting so long before battle? Did they hope rain will stop?

Discipline.

>strategical

It's tactical, not strategical.

nobody was angry at him

if anything, it hinted that they weren'y a cohesive fighting force

No it didnt, All it hinted at was do not put old men on the archery line they cant hold a nocked arrow that long.

>arming old men and children
>good idea

No like they had much choice

irl no one could hold a drawn bow for very long. It takes a ton of strength.

Get a load of this weak pussy

then why did they all stand there waiting to fire with their bows drawn?

Because its a movie?

why didn't they just nock and shoot when they wanted to shoot, instead of nock, hold, and then wait to shoot? it's not like they took that long to nock anyway

ur mom held my nocked arrow all nite long

this is correct

>Jackson butchers the source material by sending a Deus Ex Elven army to arrive at Helms Deep

Was this the moment Hackson dropped the ball?

Yeah. Should have told that to Hitler.

I'm more pissed at what he did in battle of the 5 armies
>Dwarves set up shield wall
>Orc's charge
>Oh, shit they are going to break against a mountain of dwarves!
>Faggy elves out of no where

why does Hackson hate dwarves so much?

that was a great scene though, when the elves marched to helm's deep. at least in lotr, when they made changes, it had a cinematic quality to it. in hobbit, they made changes just to please the studios.

the old man was the only one there with brains

the uruks were clearly in the range of even his short bow and the archers could've gotten in two more volleys before the orcs started closing in with their crossbows

YOU DON'T HOLD A BOW DRAWN FOR ANY LONG PERIOD OF TIME youtube.com/watch?v=XtoBFXSvD6Y

unless it's a compound bow, of course

This.

Aragon fakeout had LOST television quality to it.

that subplot was shite but when he returned back to helm's deep and opened the doors, that was nice.
