Another thing...you know how the scene between Frodo and Sam when Sam says, "Don't go where I can't follow!" is supposed to be moving and a tear-jerker? In the movie, they completely ruined it. The expression on Frodo's face made me burst out laughing in the cinema, and afterwards I was quite upset that I wasn't able to cry my face off. Why couldn't his eyes have been closed?!

[EDIT] Another thing; when Elrond and Aragorn are talking in the tent, there is a line that goes "I give my hope to Men; I keep none for myself." I can't remember who says it, but I believe that's a quote that Professor Tolkien himself said. It made me happy to see it in there.
