Re: Top 11 Dumbest Lord of the Rings Moments

There's maybe three of those complaints that are truly dumb moments. The rest is kinda nitpicking. Gandalf on the cliff and nobody helped? Wasn't that bridge poised to collapse? Wouldn't Gandalf be the stupid one by stopping in the middle of the bridge to confront the Balrog, not the others for not being taken down by the Balrog also in grabbing Gandalf?

Wouldn't those falcons be attacked by those swarms of birds?

I kind of like Nostalgia Critic, but has he hit puberty yet? His voice is grating to the ears.

My number one nitpick: why didn't Gandalf just have Sam and Frodo fly on the back of one of those falcons from the get-go? (Because the movie would have been over in 2 and half hours instead of 2 extra three hour movies...)

The eagles were too busy flying Bruce Wayne back to Gotham after he escaped Bane's prison (sorry, I couldn't resist).

OMG, you're right. I could only make it to about minute three. Horrible. And his fake "wackiness" doesn't help. Leave that shit to Weird Al.
