I can handle Gimli's comic relief here (just)

I love scenes where the narration stays close to the book. The first scene between Eomer and the 3 hunters is a good example.

all the discussion above on whether the rohirrim would actually enclose the 3 hunters is lost on me when I see the work of Genius and Beauty to actually get it to work on screen. It still makes me sit up EVERY time I see it. Superb horse training and choreography from PJs Horse People!

Great acting from Karl Urban btw.

Bit that grates with me is that the movie hobbits didn't go through the Old forest and meet up with Tom now! Once Pippin (or is it Merry) mentions the 'stories of the Old Forest' it throws me out of ME and back in the real world thinking about the commentary on LOTR where Phillipa Boyens states "you can imagine that the hobbits did go through the old forest and meet tom" as the hobbits stand by the gate of Bree. But one movie on we have Pippin dispelling that possibility. Grrrrr!
