    thought it was funny ;)

    http://www.pointlesswasteoftime.com/film/50reasons.html

    etract:
    Liv Tyler's character is seen easily defeating nine strong supernatural beings, even though she is clearly a woman.

    Experts on the occult say in order for a wizard to floorspin a fully-grown man like Gandalf, he'd need three magical staffs, not two

    etc ;)

    Propaganda.

    The Elves, clearly the most advanced and wise species, are also clearly gay.

    ROFFLE

    Wasn't really that funny. Some of the stuff he said was just plain stupid.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 999 ✭✭✭DrunkLeprachaun


    I thought it was obvious the guy was just taking the piss. Funneh.

    Homage or theft V?
    The concept of the violent dwarf was based on Al Pacino.

    Hur.

    Gold: The Stretchy Element.

    The ring, which is seen to be at least two inches in diameter at the beginning to fit the polish sausage-sized finger of Sauron, suddenly fits Frodo's child-sized finger later. I guess this movie takes place in a world where rings magically change sizes on their own.

    Actually, that ring DID change size... if you remember, once it was off Sauron's finger, and your man held it, it changed to fit his finger, or it shrunk... one or the other.

    Go-Go Gadget Arrow Sprouter

    Legolas shoots arrow after arrow at his enemies, and yet the number of arrows in his quiver never decreases. I guess elves have glands on their back that secrete arrows.

    /me risks being stabbed. BUt I think LOTR Was crappy........ and that point about greed yer man/woman makes is sooo true, at least in most sequeled films, there is a least a little conclusion at the end of the first, or subsequent films.... LOTR just ends ffs, I left the cinema feeling robbed of my £2.5, I sat for god knows how long to be told nothing by the end of the film. Shíte if you ask me.

    I'll have to agree with Jabba.
    Some of it was funny, but some of it was just downright stupid.

    The character of Elrond was based on Agent Smith from The Matrix.

    True, and one more they got wrong,

    Return of the Living Dead.

    If you watch closely during the Inn scene, Frodo and his crew are shown getting stabbed by the Ring Wraiths. Then, five seconds later, they are fine again. Note to the director: try proofreading your movie before you release it to the public.


    Actually, they were in the house across the road when the supposed "stabbing" took place, the beds were filled with sacks of feathers....lmao

    Did someone say plot hole?

    Liv Tyler's character is seen easily defeating nine strong supernatural beings, even though she is clearly a woman.

    Maybe coz she is an ELF who used magic to drown them.

    and.....

    all i can say is..
    LOL

    Seeing as its posted on a website called "pointlesswasteoftime.com" and
    some of the objections are UNBELIEVABLY dumb I think you could concur that its a TROLL.

    As is lump.
