1) My goodness the Rohirrim are hard.  I mean, they are quite tough in the book, but here 6,000 Rohirrim go through the Armies of Sauron, including Oliphaunts, like a knife through butter.   I think Rohirric horses may be closely related to rhinos.    I don't care though. I love the charge of the Rohirrim at the battle of the Pelennor Fields in

I assumed that The Mouth Of Sauron had really bad gums, and black blood (as all of the other evil beasts had black blood).

Ahh, but the Mouth of Sauron is human.

He certainly _was_ human - but that mouth is not something that normal humans have.

This is a good point. He does have good strong teeth for someone whose gums are bleeding that much though.

Sauron must have an excellent dental plan :->

(I just checked, and apparently they digitally doubled the mouth size in post-production, to make him look "wrong".)

Hmmm, most of those dwarves look OK, but you can't tell till you see the whole thing. At some points Gimli looked distinctly flaky.
