Lord of the Rings Series -- Amazon

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.
i'll never understand how LOTR elitists can hate on people being overpowered after seeing Legolas slide (suf) down a wall on a shield while shooting 3000 orcs (edit - 41). To me, that was the stupidest scene in all of LOTR. If you still can hold that up as a masterpiece, i think you need to leave a lot of room for over-powered people. i'm not saying you're that elitist, but people were willing to overlook that trash, but now we can't seem to overlook anything.
