Nah, it was clear in the actual text when you got to it, don't worry.Oops. That's something I need to clear up. I did indeed mean the 2005 film (and I was referencing the Book version of LOTR).
There's a bit of fun in LOTR, the mythic high fantasy of elves and magic rings, getting a more realistic military operation than the grubby, earthy low fantasy. Stereotypically it should be the other way round
Indeed, it often seems to be the case that the novel version is usually more historical (if one can use that term with reference to fantasy) than the film.
Partly that will be down to factors that the film has to accommodate that the book doesn't. For example, a film has to be careful not to have too many extras killed during filming, a factor the novelist doesn't have to worry about.
