I found things in the movie to be quite similar to the descriptions in the book. However, my image of Ithilien was different from that in the Two Towers, and I didn't much like the movie version of Osgiliath. The Dead Marshes looked exactly as I had envisioned them, and I think the best accomplishments were Weathertop and Moria in the first movie and Helm's Deep in the second. Alas, I thought Edoras was too lowly seeming and the Golden Hall too shabby, and Fangorn, sadly, looked a bit too computer-generated for my old fashioned tastes.
