I'd pretty much agree with you all(except maybe about the Ents being tricked . . .)

Anyway, I liked the fact that they adjusted the time-line to actually show Theodred's death. It really created an "event" to illuminate the assorted political and courtly relationships at Edoras in just a few brief scenes. I liked it.

I also kinda liked the Warg attack. (Duck!!!) They had to show a real threat in order to justify leaving Edoras and heading to Helm's Deep. I know that P.J. didn't care for the final look of the scene because he more or less improvised the action (most fight scenes, even small ones, are carefully choreographed) and then filled in with CGI. I guess that every now and then, I just love a good creature fight.
