When Aragorn is discovering Pippin and Merry escaped from the orcs in the battle and we flashback to Pippin about to be trampled by a horse his arms are on either side of his head, not bound at the wrists...then he crawls away and suddenly has to sever the bonds that tie his wrists If Merry and Pippin see Gandalf first with Treebeard, why is it that he acts like he first hears his name when he later meets Aragorn Gimli and Legolas? Too bad Eomer wasn't in the movie at all... Too bad the Ents are a bunch of goofy looking clowns at the Entmoot, except for Treebeard... Too bad Theoden is such a wishy washy wuss... Too bad Gimli is more of a comic than a warrior... Why wasn't Minas Morgul on Faramir's map? It's really amazing how Faramir and Co. find Frodo and Co. on the East side of the river, then suddenly end up on the West side of Osgiliath and the river when it's being seiged from the East... Too bad Faramir's not in the movie... Too bad Merry and Pippin never get to sleep for the countless days they're riding up in Treebeard's branches... Too bad it takes Treebeard days and days to cross Fangorn forest but it only takes a couple days for everyone to get from Edoras to Helm's Deep... I forgot that Grima was riding a horse 50 times faster than Shadowfax, since he gets to Isengard in a day... Too bad Grima's surname in the film is Wormtongue when in the book it's a bad nickname given to him by Gandalf... Too bad the movie becomes 'The Exorcist' for five minutes in Edoras...Too bad this movie was good but could have been so much better.aaronSpecial note on all the time/distance issues - you can't get too hung up on them, but they should at least be somewhat consistent within the context of the film. Merry and Pippin with Treebeard is the biggest monkeywrench in the time continuity thing.
