The Return of the King

I saw "The Return of the King" today. It was very impressive. Cinematically, the film was very beautiful (for beauty of the directing, I can only compare it to Sense and Sensibility).

The computer graphics are amazing. I can't say how faithful to the book it was, since the last time I read The Lord of the Rings was more than 15 years ago. I noticed they left out the scouring of the Shire.

For me, the most thrilling moment in the film was when the horsemen of Rohan slam into the orc lines. Absolutely amazing. I wonder if it was a realistic portrayal of heavy cavalry hitting a line of infantry. Anybody know?
