Many of Cate Blanchett's lines are so badly dubbed it gives the impression she's talking without moving her lips!

BAD WRITING: Merry and Pippin are selected for a mission of world saving importance with no justification despite clearly being fools and this causes problems for the group in every subsequent film

SHAMELESS DUMBING DOWN: Professor Tolkien originally published Lord of the Rings as printed words in a book. Jackson opts to ditch this and appeal to the lowest common denominator with a parade of moving images and sounds

PLOT HOLE SOLVED: Many fans wonder why the Fellowship couldn't use the giant eagles which appear at the end of the Third Film to fly to Mordor, resolving the situation quickly. These eagles are CGI embellishments which could not carry anyone explaining why they are not used.

During the Council of Elrond, Gimli supports Frodo saying "You have my axe". Minutes earlier he had shattered his axe trying to destroy the Ring making this line MEANINGLESS

Glaring script error you've missed: at the end of The Fellowship of the Ring, Frodo tells Sam that he's going to Mordor alone, to which Sam replied "Of course you are, and I'm going with you!" This makes no sense, because if Sam goes Frodo will not be alone. #LordoftheSins

There's an obvious plot hole that makes it to screen in the Rivendell scenes: Frodo says that he's always dreamed of leaving the Shire and having adventures. Later he says that now he's left he just wants to go home. Lazy, inconsistent writing

Gandalf named his horse after the humble fax machine despite them not visibly existing in Middle Earth. Who let that goof slip through? #SpittingShadowfacts

Another scripting error: At the Council of Elrond, Boromir says you can't simply walk into Mordor but this is exactly what happens two films later!

When Bilbo says he's left the Ring in an envelope for Frodo it's actually still in the actor's pocket and can be seen a moment later

When he walks into Moria, Boromir says "this is no mine, this is a tomb". Major script error! Despite the presence of dead bodies, Moria is actually a mine

When the Hobbits are stabbed by the Nazgul they transform into feathers and teleport to another room. This ability isn't set up anywhere in the movie and never used again even when it would save their lives!

More than 50 years passes in-universe between the scene where Bilbo finds the Ring and the birthday party but he barely ages. In Rivendell only weeks later he's a fragile old man!
