That was awful fight choreography even for hollywood.

They basically didn't show any of it lol, plus she somehow got all 4 of them in the jail cell. And shut the door with no resistance. And then the guards didn't even try to force the door back open or anything (what, does she also have the key to lock them in?).

Holy shit it's so fricking bad.

Whenever you see a scene like this, it's a tell that the writoid had no mind's eye, or only a weak one. They wrote "Galadriel wrestles all the guards into the cell," but they didn't really visualize it, understand how it would work or look. By the time they got to filming they just had to use camera tricks.

Alternately, the writoid just didn't care. When you're a writoid you can say "it happened because I said it did" and move on to the next scene. Sucks to suck, filmcels.

If you watch carefully, you'll notice that tons of stories have this problem, where when you try to visualize the whole scene, you realize it makes no physical sense. In books it's easy to spot. In film it usually has to do with the ways characters move (or don't) when they're offscreen. Sometimes it also comes up in sexual assault allegations, but if I got into that, this'd be a chuds post.

Fight scenes with a whole group of people are always so corny lol. There's just no real way for someone to win a 1v10 fistfight so they have to resort to having the antagonists attack one by one.

Of course this one is just capeshit so none of the physics have to make sense.

Also the elevator physics make no sense. Elevator cables are attached near the top of the cab for really obvious reasons, plus the safety brakes would engage even if you cut the cables (the cab would drop maybe a few inches and then any downward movement would be arrested). I actually had to rewatch that bit because I wasn't sure how tf he cut the cables from the inside like that, they DO show the cables they're just in the comically wrong place. It's like having someone shoot a car's tires from INSIDE the car.

I wonder if the screenwriter was passing the buck. Like they figured someone else would figure out the actual sequence and they just wrote [GALADRIEL FIGHTS GUARDS]

And they ended up just doing this because the choreographer just said frick it, it's friday and I wanna go home

And shut the door with no resistance.

After they open it to be shoved inside. Because one closes it at the start of the scene before the "fight" erupts.
