I'm glad I was braced (via spoilers) for the changes from the book. That said: I thought it was superb. THe sense of tension and timing, and the contrast between the army at the Black Gate (hanging on by a thread) and the confrontations, decisions, and reversals at Mount Doom even had me worried, and I knew not just the book but ths spoilers too.
