Lord of the Rings Series -- Amazon
It's about terrible writing and character development.
I totally agree - because it's not Tolkien's writing.
(1) Gandalf grossly mis-timed
(2) Galadriel stupidly over-powered
(3) Sauron and Galadriel meet in mid-ocean and share a raft?
(4) Those harfoots are fighting off those wargs somehow?
(5) Short wimpy bumbling Numenoreans.
(6) Inserting rusty magic sword causes flood which creates volcano.
(7) Phase I: Collect Mithril. Phase II: ... Phase III: Save the Elves
Amazon did not
try to make it good - that's the main point.
