* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: This version of Denethor, who has undergone AdaptationalJerkass as well, is far more hated than Sauron or Saruman, despite the latter two doing worse crimes. This is mostly because while one is not likely to come across dark lords in real life, there are tons of abusive parents and corrupt jerkass politicans that really do exist.

* {{Misblamed}}: No, Frodo didn't send Sam away because he thought he was the one that ate all the Lembas. He turned him away because Sam offered to "share the load" and carry the Ring for a while after Gollum convinced Frodo that Sam might try taking the Ring. The fact that Frodo was also under the Ring's influence didn't help, either.

** The [[EvilOverlord Dark Lord Sauron]] forged the [[ArtifactOfDoom One Ring]] in an attempt to conquer Middle-earth, powering it with his own maliciousness. Though slain, Sauron spent many years commanding his Orc armies to slay all in their path in his search for the Ring. With many cities fallen and many lives taken in his quest for power, Sauron's cruelty belies a paranoid [[TheWarlord warlord]] who seeks domination over everything.
** [[EvilSorcerer Saruman]], having [[Characters/MiddleEarthFilmSauronsEvilForces aligned with Sauron]] in his [[AmbitionIsEvil vain pursuit of power]], commands Sauron's forces, the Uruk-hai, to acquire the Ring from [[Characters/MiddleEarthFilmTheFellowship the Fellowship]]. When the Uruk-hai attacks lead to the death of Boromir, Saruman has his men attack Rohan and Helm's Deep, even giving them the order to "[[LeaveNoSurvivors Leave none alive]]!"

* EndingFatigue: Common complaint of the end of the movie. It doesn't help that the screen fades out in about five places and really looks as though the film is ending there, only for it to reappear again. Slightly different cinematography and editing may have made this a much less common complaint.
