It bothered me that Mordor <B>looked</B> so small. The editing for travel time didn't bother me, it's film convention to skip ahead over the boring parts. (remembering the famous Kubrick edit in "2001: A Space Odyssey" that skips about 3 million years in 1/24th of a second.) but the view from both Cirith Ungol and the Black Gate looked as if you could take a bus tour after breakfast and be see all of Mordor in time for lunch.
