one thing that hs to be made clear, and it is in many other discussions so i wont say to much about it.

in the books Tolkien doesnt use magic that way other writers do like Harry Potter for example. Tolkien's magic is more of a person's power over nature and its more suttle. like Sarumon using words to cast spells, or Galadriel being able to tel future and talk to people. its more suttle things like that. Tolkien doesnt do things like some one causing a big explosion and killing a massive amount of people. but as i said that is covered in other threads so go look into those.

one thing you have to remember is that the people did what they wanted to with the movie, and the movies are almost never as good as the books. you can always find something to pick about. they might have put it in there just to make you complain or to make you think or maybe they did it because they thougth that it would be cool
