(I'm going to get killed for this, but...) I actually liked the way they killed off Haldir! With some nice, angel-like music and Aragorn crying'n all The perfect end for a (great?) elf!

I don't really know what to think (But then I often don't)

I loved Haldir and I am annoyed that Peter Jackson killed him off but I also agree Sister Golden Hair and Falagar

I think the arrival of the Elves at Helms Deep, and the death of Haldir was a nice twist to the story eventhough it didn't happen that way in the books. It added an exciting element to the scene and it was very moving when he died.

Defiently. That scene made me mad the first time, but the second and third time, I thought it looked really good.

I liked it - it fit in with the movie very well. Get over it. The movie and book are separate - it was a very good movie.

Gil- galad was an elven king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing:
the last whose realm was fair and free
between the mountains and the sea.

His sword was long, his lance was keen,
his shinig helm afar was seen;
the countless stars of heaven's field
were mirrored in his silver shield.

But long ago he rode away,
and where he dwelleth none can say;
for into darkness fell his star
in mordor where the shadows are.

The chap playing Haldir was such a horrific actor and his role was so poor that I can't thank Jackson enough for killing him. I think it was just about the only good decision Jackson made in this gawd awful movie.

Yep, I agree..at first I was p'oed but after separating the book and movie, I liked it! A little too sappy dramatic, but he died and that was good.

How they did it was good and it fit in the film but why they did it I don't know?

i agree it was a nice ending. in his last combat he showed that he had some blood in his veins.

those elves at Helm's Deep seem too marshall for my taste. they behave very similar to the droids of SW1 & 2. Haldir's death, at least, was more vivid.

i didn't like Haldir, but it was sad seeing an elf die...come on! elves are immortal! well...they can be killed in battle...but that's not my point! i bet TONS of Haldir fans were upset by his...death...i mean, the Frodo fans won't be happy if Frodo died

The actor who played Haldir reminds me of red-shirted guards in Star Trek: The Original Series. He had a good death scene though. Maybe he can get resurrected in the next film and ride back in an elven ship with Glorfindel if you guys sign a petition, who knows.

I don't like Haldir. He was a bit rude, but his death scene was pretty, despite the sickening blow to the head (I felt so sick and bored during Helm's Deep)

I couldn't agree with you more completely Hobbit. And as for me I think Haldir the character sucked...but if you think about it seeing an elf die...in slow mo up close while realizing that isn't supposed to happen is sobering.
Cheers,
Sam
