This is a very minor point, but in the film do Gandalf and Radagast seem to pronounce 'Dol Guldur' with the emphasis on the final syllable (the 'dur')? It was my understanding that it should be on the penultimate syllable (the 'gul').
Also shouldn't 'Ungoliant' be pronounced something like 'oon-goll-ee-ahnt'?
This always struck me because they generally seem to do a decent job of pronouncing things correctly (ói and įi in Dwarf-names being the most egregious exception to my ear).
