Faramir restored to what Tolkien wrote him to be. That whole interaction with him and Frodo redone, being taken to Osgiliath removed. I did like the close ups of the Nazgul and his mount in that part, but not at Faramir's expense. <P>Better transition: Gandalf and the Balrog falling forever, then *POOF* they are on the Peak. I did like the Gandalf/Balrog fight though. I had not imagined them fighting on the way down before.<P>Take out the Aragorn floating down the river bit. I didn't mind the fight with the Warg Riders, but the "You thought I was dead, now I'm back" thing was already done once.<P>I second the idea of Treebeard reworked. I did like his voice however. More of the Ents trashing Isengard would be nice. Ents can kick some major fanny.<P>The movie ended properly. That means going to Shelob's lair, Frodo captured, Gorbag and Shagrat, all that. The doors slamming in Sam's face as he finds out Frodo is alive would have been a great ending. <P>Just a few of my wishes....TTT just didn't live up to the standard set by FoTR.<P>[EDIT] I forgot two big ones: No Haldir and Elves at Helm's Deep, and that battle concluded like it was written. I don't mind so much the Eomer = Erkenbrand change in that part, but the trees were totally left out.<p>[ December 19, 2002: Message edited by: Keneldil the Polka-dot ]
