The Nazgul could chase on land just as well, none of the fellowship or the elves knew the Nazgul had fell beasts until they were like halfway through the quest, and it's hinted in the books that the eagles can fly faster. Either way the method isn't touched on at all in the movies, so even if we went by the idea that in the movie version the fell beasts were quicker there's no way for us, the audience, to know that. You and I are just guessing at reasons.
Josh's comment is closer to probably the best reason implied in the books (namely that the lord of the eagles is a being of power that would be swiftly drawn to and corrupted by the ring), but again the whole thing is just skipped over in the movies and the eagles just show up every once in a while to bail someone out. They're just a weird deus ex machina on the part of the viewer.
Classic.

I'm not a devious man by nature... but when you're unarmed, your tactics might gonna be downright Archimedean.
Venom looked like a chump
No lie: I hated LOTR ... a lot.

The first full shot of him after that initial scene was great sadness.

The pre-Avengers movies just made more media buzz for the avengers. Which is all the studio could have hoped for. I think that's what Dole was referring to with patience. They didn't establish some deep character shit, they just established characters that hopefully the audience would want to go and see fight together. Who cares about good movies or legitimate character depth, they are trying to make money.

It's really just following the way comics already handle this sort of thing. Let your franchises establish themselves and tell their own story and then occasionally bring them all together for the big payoff where maybe you reference a couple of things that happened in the solo-stories but mostly it's about the current big conflict and how the characters interact.

That part, most definitely. From a hype/marketing standpoint it works great. Even if they don't follow the exact version of the recent Batman and Superman movie characters for that team-up movie it'll still most likely make more money just for having related movies in recent years.

I think Dole is more lambasting the inclusion of wonder woman and like, doomsday as the villain. DC should have REALLY courted Bale for this, it was their only hope for the sort of media attention they were looking for.

They could easily handle the introduction of a couple major characters like Wonder Woman. Would people love extra movies? Sure. Would they be needed? No. X-Men introduced like 10 characters including creating a sympathetic villain and did just fine.
Yeah, I get the worry about going for the big guns, but if it's handled right then it will be fine either way. If it ends up being made by the wrong people then it doesn't matter how much ramp-up gets performed, it'll still suck. Frankly, I was expecting Avengers to be garbage going by the ratio of quality lead up movies compared to bad ones and that practically every movie Whedon has made has been mediocre at best, but they pulled it together excellently and I was pleasantly surprised.
