I know that the LTR trilogy was like a couple of years back but I've always wanted to comment on how Gandalf- the wizard, was portrayed in the movies.
According to Wikipedia and the storybooks itself, Gandalf was a being of the same order as Sauron- Maia. They were higher beings than mere humans with immortal blood and blessed with many gifts to shape the world as they wanted to. Which in other words, means, DAMN IMBA.
So I couldn't really take it when all Gandalf could do, when the Nazguls ( Ringwraiths ) appeared before the doors of Gondor while attempting to devour the doomed warriors of Gondor, was to shine a bloody torchlight at them.
See !
If you carried on watching, Gandalf did nothing more than just to wave this bloody torchlight at them and actually did MANAGED to scare the Nazguls off.
This scene irks my soul.
Firstly, the Nazguls are not some pussy-whipped villains.
They are deadly emissaries of the Dark Bitch called Sauron the Ringmaker.
You do not just scare them away with a bloody torchlight.
It's like using a torchlight to battle with the evil Voldermort instead of using a proper wand !
Can u imagine shaking that little electronic device at him while shouting "WINGADIUM LEVIOSA !!!!" in your feeble attempt to lift up his cloak to cover his eyes ??
NOT GONNA WORK !
Stupid movie directors for LOTR ...
