Haha, yeah. Not sure if you heard about who that person is but... I can't wait for that 'iconic' 'take a swim' scene... who is supposedly no one else than our Mighty Warrior Galadriel (so smart, so athletic - swim across the ocean it is!). I wasn't really thinking it was going to be THAT nonsensical (just expected it to be very pompous and Hollywood shallow/nothing to do with Tolkien but not UTTER NONSENSE) but the way some of these reviews describe it... maybe they intentionally turned it into a Tolkien parody of sorts, I don't know... sounds more and more like it :P
Yeah, swimming across the ocean would be nearly Beowulf levels of malarkey. (Except he'd supposedly swum for days in mail and fought a sea-monster with his sword, lol).
Word from elsewhere is that their Galadriel is insufferable, equal parts Mary Sue and Karen. (Presumably when she gets to Numenor she'll want to see the manager...)
