This review contains examples of:
- Ambiguously Brown: While The Critic likes the Bakshi version of Aragor better, he gets confuse about why the character looks Native-American, which is not how he's described in the books.
- Big "SHUT UP!": The Critic's reaction to Samwise in Bakshi's adaption saying "Oh HOORAY!"
- Evil Is Hammy: Deconstructed when discussing the Jackson version of Sauron. He argues that someone like the Dark Lord should have a sneaky, connving approach, rather than than the over-the-top, Big-sized Obviously Evil appearance he has in the prologue or the inhuman lizard's eye projected in the Mountain of Mordor.
- Nothing Is Scarier: Why the Critic favours the Baskshi version of Sauron, who can never be seen and that's what makes him more intimidating, along with the eye in the reflex Frodo sees and the way other characters talk about him.
