It would have been great if characters were introduced properly.
Even Boromir and Eomer were barely introduced. We needed Elrond to say: This is Boromir of Gondor! at the Council. Viewers need to know the names of the characters; they want to care about them. Did anyone, anyone at all, who had not read the books, come out of the cinema ready to discuss Eomer directly? Of course not; all they could say was: "Yon blonde laddie was righteous." It should be so much better and easier.
But that's a big problem I have with films in general, and not just The Lord of the Rings.
