I have one question about Helm's Deep I believe you might ask yourself how come Aragorn was giving orders to the elves even though they have already a captain in charge. This is a big question mark for me still.
I loved Helm's Deep anyway my favourite war scene.
As the Heir of Elendil, he was well respected by the elves and they knew he had a good military mind, and wasn't going to tell him, 'wait, I need to find my commander and ask him'. It is battlefield initiative, and they were allies.
What to you all think about the 'bombing' of the wall by the orcs, using 'black powder' that Saruman concocted?
