Thats why i put down LOTR...there were too many of those moments...the last straw was when they were trapped on a ledge (getting close to mordor i think) and some magic rope appeared...anyone remember that?
For me, it is still a fun movie to watch in some ways.
I liked Bilbos character, and in general the way the characters are drawn. Im not sure about Gandalph... over all it is pretty cool movie to couch wrestle to, and eat popcorn.

I watched the first 2 LotR movies last week, and that is something that kind of bugs me about it too.
The LotR world is incredibly imaginative and Tolkien went into immense details on everything, but the actually story is cheap. It's predictable, cliche and corny.
I like it enough to watch occasionally, but I don't get the amazement that some people do.
