I must say I got the same impression. There are hundreds of sites like that on the net and one needs not to look for them too hard. Anybody could write a thing like that and the humour is rather "dumb", so to say.

Although note that the Witch King's lack of "peripheral vision" is actually lack of vision, full stop– but maybe that isn't explained in the films? I can't remember.

Yes, well, I think of course the problem is how it basically criticises the movie: rightfully so, in many places, but only if one does not see the explanations beyond the movie which are in the books, which is unfair even to PJ (now hearing me defending him... anyway, not that the intention of that website is to be "fair", obviously). That however only proves my own words (*warms up his own soup*) that the movies without the books lack important things...

The real problem with the scene in question is that baddie-being-distracted-by-thrown-object is a terrible cliche.

Wow, actually, I have not realised it until I have read the article + now this comment of yours... but the scene in FotR is really almost
the same as in Predator... (and maybe even four hobbits together make about as much body mass as one Arnold)
