No, I think Helm's Deep was kind of exaggerated as well. Jackson loves to go big, but sometimes exercising restraint is just as much of an art in filmmaking.

I completely agree. But I still LOVED the film.

Of course, as did I. I would rather have LOTR and The Hobbit slightly overdone than not at all or poorly done.
