Well, it's a good thing that it's not, then. Minas Tirith is clearly HUGE, Dale doesn't even stand near to it (though it isn't as small as Edoras, for example).
You sure? Let's See
More or less, same distance. Minas Tirith is huge indeed, it's tall, and massive, but if you check the amount of buildings per ring
It could be argued that even so Minas Tirith is still larger than Dale -it's not what my eyes see, but i could accept it- though what can't be denied is that Dale, at least, matches or competes with MT in size. It is far bigger than Edoras and clearly by Middle Earth standards (having MT be the largest city in the world by a far distance) Dale would be a rather big city, this meaning Edoras is just a town, and Dol Amroth would be more or less same size too. Summing up, having Dale be so big just because they could do it VFX wise, they've flatten up the whole hierarchy of visuals in Middle Earth, without entering a technical and freudian discussion about which city is bigger.

Okay, Dol Guldur is darker, but it's the abode of Sauron himself at the time, so...
Same size at least, if not bigger.

Then it's a good thing that Argonath's still larger
Enough pictures for this post. I suggest to get pictures of both and compare, although i think you might be right in this one, still the same, they've made up colossus that rival the Argonath when there was none, just for the sake of doing it.

And, Mirkwood is clearly not as majestic as Lorien.
I really don't understand those complaints. YES, if you just take the Hobbit in and of itself, then it all looks epic, but if you actually compare everything - the scale of The Lord of the Rings is clearly much grander.
I just don't agree about the last statement. Had you agreed with me on that, you would indeed understand the complaints!
