This parody had its moments but fell apart when it ridiculed the movie for parts that happen exactly the same in the book! Consider the parts where they mention Gandalf rescuing the company or that Elrond has the circumstances to read the moon runes at the exact fated moment. Or what about when Gandalf sets fire to the pine cones and inconsistently uses magic? All these are the same in the book as written by Tolkien so the site is at times critical of Tolkien equally. Worst part in the article is when they complain that Bilbo finds the way out without Gollum but the movie clearly shows that Bilbo was following Gollum as he even had to jump over him to exit the Misty Mountains. There is no reason to be critical of the movie without giving proper criticism to the source material. Seems like the site was reaching a bit for the sake of comedy.

A good movie can be a bad adaptation (and sometimes vice versa).
