I can understand that some parts were changed because they have to adapt the whole story in 3 hours. I agree the Bombadil part wasn't essential for example, but there are some changes I don't understand/don't agree.<BR>1) Why was Arwen who met them when they were going to the Rivendel? it was Glorfindel in the book. They showed Arwen as a warrior, something she never was and was totally out of her character, I think this was a very bold mistake.<BR>2) Why they made Saruman responsible for the snow storm? that was an utter invention.<BR>3) IMO it was a mistake to tell the story of Isildur and how he got the ring at the beginning, it ruined the sequence of the story, it should had been told in the proper order, when Gandalf explained it briefly to Frodo and in Rivendel.<BR>4) No clear references to how the rings were made, no mention to Celebrimbor who is very important in the whole story.<BR>5) Anduril, they changed the story, when Aragorn met the hobbits in bree the sword was broken and it was reforged in Rivendel before the fellowship left, that was part of Boromir's dream and that dream was the reason why he made the long trip to Rivendel.<P>I could think of more details, some other changes were ok, because they didn't really affect the story, but I found that if I hadn't read the books before, I wouldn't have understood the story clearly and would have gotten a wrong impression.
