They had it in the extended edition, and it worked just fine. all i am talking about is just the one 2 sec part where you see the orc run into the woods and then see the woods shake.


No I know, but because of that, the quick moment of Aragorn and Eowyn gets displaced and has differnet music behind it, and doesn't work as well IMHO. Its not a big deal, its a cool scene, all I'm saying is I can see why it was cut.

In fact having seen ROTK now, I actually agree with cutting the saruman scene, I think it works well without it and the pacing would be a bit off with it in. I like elements of the EEs but I agree with PJ that the theatrical cuts are superior. One day I'm gonna do a blend of the two.
