Speaking of which, did you get the feeling that the Dwarves were only 
used in the movie for comic relief?  I found it quite disrespectful.

Especially when the Elves show up in Helm's Deep - yay, so the Elves are 
our friends, but the dwarves are too greedy and uncaring, or something.

The book specifically states that neither the Elves nor the Dwarves help 
out the humans, simply because they are already being attacked by Sauron.
