G You may have some legitimate complaints, that without reading the book, you don't have the rest of the story that fills in the gaps. The trees don't just come to life and go off to war. Not all trees are Ents. I guess one should say that Ents are just a race of beings that happen to look like trees. They live very long lives like trees, possible millennia.
What I disliked most about the Ent segment in the movie was that they where "tricked" by the hobbits to attack Isengaurd(sp). I much preferred the books handling that the decision of the Ent council was to go to war and they raised their army of Ents and (?????) a word for Ents that had retreated from the world into being nearly true trees. This army then came to the aid of the siege of Helms Deep and laid siege to Isengaurd(sp). I also found it interesting that in the movie the Ents broke a dam created by the orks to flood the fortress. In the book, the Ents dammed the river themselves in order to release it on the fortress. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code. C code run.
