Minias Tirith: Not as Epic?

[RaditzSoldier]

Do you think that Minias Tirith failed to live up to how it should be, especially with a record of Helm's Deep in the past? I was very let down by the simplistic redundancy of this battle, and I wished for more. Helm's Deep, for an example, felt more like a complete siege then Minias Tirith.

What do you mean? I think both battles were described just enough for their importance. There's no need for more in the books, there's so much else going on at the same time.

Minias Tirith just to me tried to be like a Helm's Deep but failed, it just cuts and pastes.

I think the Minas Tirith battle could've been a bit longer and bigger... and I think Helm's Deep could've been cut down a bit

If Minias Tirith would have been longer, it would be better.

I liked this scene...could you imagine how much more it would have cost to extend this scene? But then again, I love Minas Tirith, so if it had extra, I wouldn't complain.

Helm's Deep was written (atleast in the movie) as the climax to the film. The Battle of Minas Tirith and the Pelennor Fields was not, and so, it wasn't nearly as epic. But it was still fun. It just wasn't entirely the main focus.
