Strange shots (what are they thinking)

[NinjaFerret]

Dude. Gandalf is WIZARD. Wizards don't DO physics. <P>(Man, if I was a wizard, I wouldn't do physics either. I'd stand up in the middle of lecture and haul myself to the ceiling by the seat of my pants in front of my professor. How cool would that be?! )<P>But seriously, the whole Gandalf vs the Balrog while airborne is just amazing. Jeez people. This is fantasy. Pretty much every character is in some way superhuman, yet still very believable. This whole double entendre of character is supposed to happen. <P>And if Legolas leaping onto a horse was a bit stiff, then hey, nothing is perfect.<P>Also, much earlier, someone in this post mentioned that Aragorn could hear the Uruk-Hai and yet had trouble hearing the Rohirrim until it was almost too late. I believe he says "The Earth groans under their feet." Meanign the Uruk-Hai, of course. I thought that had to do with his almost Elvish ability to use something beyond the regular five senses and listen to nature.<P>And I thought that when he was tracking Merry and Pippen and he suddenly halts at Fangorn, it is a sudden realization that they may have entered into these woods. I thought Fangorn had this air of mystery and potential danger b/c of the Huorns, trees that had gone slightly "bad" if you will. Also, Ents were not the type to socialize. they kept to themselves, and didn't much care what happened in the world. No one really knew that much about them. Fear of the unknown, perhaps.<P>I dunno... I think a lot of you are nitpicking, but if you really want to nitpick, I think you ought to go further, b/c you will see that Jackson and his actors were right in 99% of what they did.
