  • This is the stupidest review for LotR I've ever read! It's absolutely ridiculous.

  • Your favorite band sucks, and you have terrible taste in movies.

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Does SomethingAwful hire these people to review movies or is it just anyone who wants to can submit a review? I sure hope it's the latter.

I mean, seriously. He sites these two points that he feels people would not understand had they not read the original LotR. They're not only so completely insignificant, but their omission lead to absolutely no confusion for me and I've never read so much as a page of a Tolkein book. They didn't explain exactly how the fires of Mordor will destroy the ring? So what? It's a magical fucking ring! It's not too much of a stretch to find out that a magical ring can only be destroyed by *gasp!* magical means! I'll admit that big moth or whatever did sorta come outta nowhere, but still...I mean, Gandalf is a fucking wizard, it didn't exactly blow my mind to see that the wizard had cast a spell.</div>

Gandalf sacrificed himself? Saruman controlled the Balrog? The disappointing ending because it's not like the book? This guy is a fucking moron.</div>
