The Battle Droid Syndrome.
The mutated muscular soldiers of Mordor turned out to be hilariously ineffective soldiers, a dozen of them held off by a single dying human. Apparently they made the beasts by crossing Orcs, Goblins and the French.
Speaking of Elves...
Elves are beautiful and wise and tall? Great warriors? Makers of fine lightweight weapons? Our modern knowledge of elves has observed only an ability to make cookies and toys. All the elves in the film are portrayed as living in a warm paradise (Rivendell) but our own information tells us the aforementioned group of toymaking elves work and thrive in the arctic. Hey, Mr. Jackson: Research is half of writing.
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow.
The most advanced civilization is that of the elves, which are long-haired, new-age types? Sorry, Mr. Jackson, but modern science has proven that in any modern civilization, hippies would be extinct.

Invisible Implausibility.
Every time Frodo or Bilbo went invisible with the ring they should have also gone BLIND. Your eyes cannot function unless light is reflected off the cornea. If light passes through it (as must be the case with invisibility) sight is no longer possible. Also, rings do not turn you invisible.

Hey, the movie is called Lord of the Rings not Star Trek. It's a fantasy movie, you know...magic stuff.
Watch out! He's going to explode!
The heroes are shown eating again and again, and yet no one ever goes to the bathroom throughout their entire quest.
_________
You wanna see Frodo on the toilet or what?
I think most of those reasons are ridiculous.

Its so easy to criticize huh? I loved the movies, didnt pick at em to find faults, just enjoyed them for what they are, not a replica of the books, but brilliant movies in their own right.

The only thing I realized from all the Article is that he haven't [bheard of the book, written in the beginning of the century, making it hard to even talk about "stealing" stuff from movies (Most of the scenes described are in the book, so...)

next time somebody posts anything like this...
remind me not to waste any time reading it... the guy who wrote that article:
a) is completely unaware of the book (no, it is NOT a trilogy)
b) insults people just because he gets his kicks out of it...
c) makes a whole fuss about tiny goofs (like tennis shoes for Orcs)
...don't get me wrong here... I love a good parody or satire as much as the next guy... I personally lmao with "Bored of the Rings" but this guy is pathetic...
...as a sidenote... many great movies had goofs in them... heck, in Braveheart you can see a white minivan in the background...that doesn't make the movie any worse...

Ummm... joke? The guy clearly likes the movies. I loved the movie (seen it about 6 times, including the extended version) and I thought the 50 reasons were hilarious. (although not as good as that fellowship of the rings journal entries that have been circulating).

it was not made to be a story that was supposed to fit in with rea life, so i think that those so called reasons are form someone that doesn't know the meaning of fantasy..that probably says it all...

...there seems to be be a struggle to conjure up some clearly valid points based completely on the wholesom basis of stupidity and accurate misinformation.
I wonder how far someone can possibly sink into their ignorance.
...perhaps he is just formerly insipid nerd and now in his old age, the dotard can do nothing less than showing his gratitude for all the great memories others have given him before in the past...at least that's the only reasonable explanation I can offer.

I must admit that my jaw dropped when I saw all these accusations.
First of all, the book of The Lord of the Rings was published 50 years ago. Half of the accusations accuse the producer of stealing ideas. No. They stole ideas from LOTR.
Second, don't try to rationalize magic in the real world.
Third of all, the movie was not, and I repeat, not made by Hollywood.
Fourth, what is the talk of the novelized script about. Didn't the author realize that the book was there before the movie.
Fifth, yes, of course there is going to be a sequel. The story is not done yet. And Gandalf is going to return. Tolkien wrote that down more than 50 years ago.
Sixth, the movie is broadscreen. Of course there is going to be a black band above and under your screen if you buy the unmodified version (by the way, my version is modified).
I could go on to write a full "50 reasons why 50 reasons why LOTR sucks, sucks", but I think I made my point clear.

I stopped at point 8, when I understood that the one who wrote all that crap didn't read even a page of the book. All I can say is...
*Bad, bad people, they don't like LoTR, they don't like our precious, bad people, bad, we hate them, hate them, our precious... gollum... gollum...*

People, people! Why do you keep complaining about the author of this thing not having read the book? How can you talk about ignorance? After all, you didn't even bother to take a look at the url. If you did, you wouldn't keep complaining about this stuff.

Yes, that article indeed is a pointless waste of time... But that ain't no excuse for the writer - he's a bad bad bad human being!

The comment about the novelized script makes me think that the author of that thing does not even know that there was a book. "The orcs were stolen from Warcraft", honestly. When Tolkien wrote down his orcs, the parents of the makers of Warcraft were still in daipers.
I should ask the author whether he knows who Tolkien is.
