As regards LoTR: The film version is crap on SO many levels. A lot of good stuff, sure, but a lot of garbage along with it. The scene you mention is one of Peter Jackson's more embarassing horks of puke. Go ahead and make the weapon if you wish, but don't call it Anduril if you have any respect for the story.

As regards the weapon: It's not the Animate Dead 1x/day that makes it hideously overpowered, it's the permanent Protection from Undead. Every Undead critter in the game (except Improved Bodhi) literally has NO chance to even attack you when you're holding that thing.
