Why LOTR Sucks: I Take It All Back

You’re not going to believe what happened in the last scene. The Black Riders have just entered Bree, and they have found the inn where the hobbits are staying. We see the hobbits are asleep in their beds. The riders creep into the room, and attack the sleeping hobbits with their swords…except the hobbits aren’t there. They’ve actually moved into the room across the square. We were meant to believe that they were sleeping in the same room that the black riders entered, but it was just pillows. What fools we were to think that the hobbits would be killed.

Peter Jackson, you are a master.
