| Jul 14, 2016 at 16:25 | comment | added | PoloHoleSet | @Joel - Movies are not books, books are not movies. Jackson stayed truer to the books than anyone could reasonably expect, given how most movies shouldn't even use the name of the books they are supposedly modeled after. I note that there is no mention of the fact that Galadriel bears one of the Three Rings, which I believe has more utility than your average mood ring from the 70s. As fans we have high hopes, of course. Given what studios usually force directors to do to book adaptations, I think you're asking a bit much. | |

I recall when Frodo gets to the Cracks of Doom he starts thinking that he could become the new lord of the ring and easily defeat Sauron. This is why he "brought" Gollum along in the end. | |

| Dec 24, 2014 at 5:33 | comment | added | Dan Oberlam | I came to a similar conclusion as @JasonBaker, I figured that the whole Silmaril thing helped even the odds | |
| Dec 24, 2014 at 3:38 | comment | added | Jason Baker | Bear in mind also that Galadriel was using the Light of Eärendil to help her in this scene, which is light from a silmaril. Although she was definitely using her own power to supplement it, that light on its own has been demonstrably effective against Dark Things | |
| Dec 23, 2014 at 15:59 | comment | added | Joel | Jackson did an awsome job with the images... but a really poor one at adapting the scenario with his continual need to change everything and invent things. A shame. | |
| Dec 23, 2014 at 15:43 | comment | added | user8719 | @Omegacron - that correct for the books, but in the movies Saruman gets his action hero on with a parting "Leave Sauron to ME!" - but like DVK said, trying to logically analyze the movies... | |
| Dec 23, 2014 at 15:29 | comment | added | user8719 | @LAK - you're correct; Council of Elrond: "Then he gave way before us, but only feigned to flee, and soon after came to the Dark Tower and openly declared himself." | |
| Dec 23, 2014 at 15:16 | comment | added | Omegacron | I just assume that Saruman is holding back and letting the elves do all the work. After all, the wizards aren't supposed to get directly involved. | |
| Dec 23, 2014 at 14:46 | comment | added | LAK | In the books, I seem to recall that Gandalf implies that Sauron allowed himself to be driven from Dol Guldor, though I regret that I don't recall when this is mentioned. | |
| Dec 23, 2014 at 12:45 | comment | added | DVK-on-Ahch-To | @Yann - do NOT try to logically analyze the movie. That way lies madness. | |

| Dec 23, 2014 at 10:28 | comment | added | Yann | I can understand why Gandalf isn't on full form, given the context of him being the damsel in distress, and Radagast doesn't seem the fighting sort. It's Saruman that bugged me, really. | |
