15 years ago I was a kid watching Hollywood movies and wondering how much we really know about ancient warfare. Last month, I was asked to give my expert opinion on those movies. I'm glad this video shows how exstatic I was to be doing this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPGdOXstSyk …

That it defends a gorge isn't a real problem because, as I discuss, it's main use is probably as a base for raiding - even a small cavalry contingent operating out of the fortress would compel any enemy moving over the westmarch to siege it.
And the designers of the fortress can hardly be faulted for not anticipating the blasting fire the Saruman seems to have only recently invented. Again, the major problems - lack of forward outworks - are resolved in the books, where the complex is more, well, complex.

Leaving as aside defence in depth in the outer curtain wall, you have almost no towers, no ability for enfilading fire. The entrance to the keep has a single door directly on a bridge... I mean the list goes on surely?

Even taking the movie's version, if you look closely there is a round projection from the wall which enables enfilade fire, but the keep itself can also enfilade the Deeping Wall.
