...pet peeves with the movies (feel free to add yours)

I'll probably start another thread with what I like about them next week or something..

5. Frodo did not ride alone to Rivendell

4. Travel time does not apply. ex. moving Frodo all the way to Osgiliath, Elrond getting to Rohan in record time (him going there is an annoyance in itself, more on that in a bit).

3. The great ectoplasiming of Minas Tirith

2. Anduril is not reforged before departing Rivendell. It was a key symbolic point of the books that Aragorn leaves from his childhood home with his legacy.

1. Misquotes and/or weird use of language and/or shifting quotes to others.

Mirror of Galadriel: "..things that were, things that are, and some things that have not yet come to pass." There is no reason here for them to break from using forms of "be" and use "come to pass". The line should have been "yet may be". The line even feels awkward as she's saying it.
