	The GATE :: Review of 'Black Hawk Down'
		In the ensuing 15-hour battle, 18 American soldiers died as they tried to reach the crash sites and retrieve all of their men.
		In watching Black Hawk Down I actually felt a bit cheated that Bruckheimer, Scott and the writers couldn't have given more attention to the turmoil of the people of Mogadishu and shown more of the thoughts of the soldiers, and more of the actual history of the events.
		Black Hawk Down, in comparison, is just a regular war movie, and not even a good one at that.

		Black laborers cleared trees, blasted the solid rock, and dug underground storehouses.

	Battle of the Pelennor Fields - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An epic battle in his fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings, it was the greatest battle of the War of the Ring, and indeed the largest of the entire Third Age.
		After the Battle of Osgiliath and the overrunning of the Rammas Echor, the last barriers against the forces of Mordor, the latter moved on the Pelennor Fields before the city on March 15, 3019 of the Third Age as the Great Darkness blotted out the sun.
		In the battle proper, importance is given to the arrival of the Rohirrim, the combat with the Oliphaunts, and the deaths of Théoden and the Witch-king.

	The battles of, Dagorlad, Orodruin, Fornost, Azanulbizar and Morannon
		It appears that this battle (and later, during the seven-years siege of Barad-dûr, and the battle of Orodruin at the end of it, when Sauron comes out and fights with the kings) is a natural for concentrating on the heroic powers of individual champions and their magic weapons.
		The first battle obviously hinges on the fact that the Witch-king underestimates the strength of his foes; not having heard adequate news of the arrival of the army of Gondor.
		Fought near or on the same ground as the battle of Dagorlad, this is the final battle of the Third Age and the War of the Ring.

		In TA 2510, Celebrían was captured by a band of Orcs in the Misty Mountains, and from then onwards, routes across the Mountains from Eriador to Wilderland became increasingly dangerous to travellers.
		Towards the end of the Third Age, countless Orcs died at the Battle of the Hornburg, the Battle of the Pelennor Fields and the Battle at the Black Gate.
		Azog was the name of the Orc who killed King Thrór of the Dwarves, while Azog's son Bolg led the Orcs to the Battle of Five Armies.

	The Lord of the Kingdom » The War In Which We Find Ourselves
		There are five battles that are considered, beginning with the Battle of Five Armies at the conclusion of TH and continuing on to the Skirmish with the Southrons, the Battle of Helm’s Deep, the Battle of Pelennor Fields, and the Battle at the Black Gate.
		Far enough away from the battle to be safe from harm (although not far enough to avoid discovery), he and Frodo watch as Faramir leads his men in a rout of the servants of Sauron.
		Unlike many other battles, in which the reader is given very little graphic description of the fighting, this battle is described in great detail: the ’swift stroke’ of Éowyn’s ’steel-blade’; the fall of the Nazgûl-Lord’s mace; each word spoken between the combatants; even to the shivering of shield and breaking of bone.

	Return of the King
		When Faramir is returning from battle and is riding across Pelanor fields, the Nazguls are chasing down his army and picking them off one by one.
		So, in that final battle at the fl gate, Gandalf didn't have his staff, and I just didn't notice that.
		And, in one of the most moving scenes of the movie, Gandalf, who has seen evil in the balrog and even "died" at its hands, now is able to offer courage and strength to little hobbits and great men who are teetering on the edge of courage.

	NazgÃ»l
		Given form only through the attire of fl cloaks and hauberks of silver mail, their original form was completely gone and invisible to mortal eyes.
		He was eventually defeated in battle in 1975 and returned to Mordor, gathering the other Nazgªl in preparation for the return of Sauron to that realm.
		The remaining eight Ringwraiths attacked the Army of the West during the last battle at the Black Gate.

		His speech before the Battle of Pelenor Fields was the second best in the series, beaten only by Aragorn's speech before the final battle at the Black Gate.
		Minor changes to the scenery were done for the battle at weathertop, and the journy actually took longer than they insinuated in the movie.
		Freefall battle must have been pretty interesting to film, and that last battle on the mountain top was quite cool indeed.

		My battle with Sarevok was quite interesting, as I took a unique approach to the opening few rounds and finished with a standard tactic.
		The party was battle weary as they reached the temple, and decided to rest after Orcin had spared Tamako's life.
		Most areas outside Baldur's Gate were quite easy with the combination of the two best archers in the game and two powerful mages.

	All about Heaven's Gate cult by Katherine Ramsland
		On their left shirtsleeves were armband patches on which the words "Heaven's Gate Away Team" were stitched—possibly a reference to the television program Star Trek: The Next Generation on which a small crew called the "away team" went off on planetary ventures.
		The members of Heaven's Gate each packed a small overnight bag with clothing, lip balm, and spiral notebooks, and they placed these bags at the foot end of their beds.
		It was all part of crew-mindedness and the battle against the Luciferian influence.

	Battle of the Pelennor - The Fantasy Forum
		In this battle you must stand firm and have no fear, no thought of flight, but be inspired to resist with ever more herculean strength.
		But the battle before the Black Gate will be the most climatic, because it's that last chance for Frodo to get the Ring into Mt. Doom, because if he doesn't, it's all over for Aragorn, the Rohirrim, and the rest of them.
		The Black Gate is more or less an effort to withstain Sauron's attention from that which matters most--Frodo's quest and his? completing the deed.

		Black Isle not only manages to pull it off, they also manage to create one of the best RPG’s of all time!
		Some of the encounters were a bit on the difficult side, but a simple in–game switch of difficulty settings got me past the more frustrating battles.

	Dummies::Examining the Battle of Good vs. Evil in Tolkien's Middle-earth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		This assumption is based on the way in which Gandalf and Aragorn face the Battle of Morannon ("Black Gate") near the end of The Lord of the Rings.
		The biggest difference between the heroes of the Battle of Morannon and those of Ragnarok is that Aragorn and the others show none of the good old Norse Gods' relish for the fight and little of the Rohirrim's delight in a warrior's death.
		In most of the battles, good guys are far outnumbered by bad guys, and their chances of victory are usually slim to none.

	Is it just me or are the battle scenes in the book very poorly detailed? - The Coming Soon! Boards
		I didn't even know that The battle of Pellenor fields was supposed to be a way bigger battle than Helm's deep, and i read the books at least twice (i know not much) but recently.
		And it annoyed me extremely when they cut off the battle of the fl gate when the trolls charged the The Rohirrim and Gondorians before one fell on Pippin, and that was the last I heard of the battle.
		The bloody, hard-fought battles are apart of the journey of life, just as much as the long, quiet treks across grassy plains.

		Eowyn is sick when Aragorn goes to the Black Gate, and it's Pippin who goes with him and not Merry.
		And if it's actually before Aragorn goes to the Black Gate, Aragorn shouldnt' even be there anyway...it should be Eomer and Theoden, and there's no way all those people were from just Rohan alone.
		12-14-2003 06:49 PM exactly, but the fl gate incident might be that the orcs of mordor are getting ready to attack gondor or that it's gonna be the battle of the fl gate like it was in the books.
