Why LOTR Sucks: True Evil

I was watching another long montage, this one with a voice over by Saruman, and I realized the true nature of evil. Evil is very dirty. Evil also likes to burn trees.

By the way, this montage was again completely unnecessary. We already know that Saruman and Sauron are allied. We could have just had a scene where the orcs attack a village of Rohan and that would be enough to introduce the impending war.
