I enjoyed the battles too, though the slowing down irritated me. Your two questions are interesting, but in fact, that dreadful narrator irritates me all the more.
How does he know about the stupid queen's ignominious bargain? (and by the way, why does she make it? So let's see, my husband's enemy. self proclaimed manipulator of the council and all round slimer, wants an evening tryst, and he comes over to my house alone? Unguarded? At night? I'd be laughing in my sandals!) And of course, the heroes are uber beautiful, the villains grotesque; but if this is a subtle commentary on propaganda, it is too subtle, I think, for the audience, who will just think pretty = good, ugly = evil.
