The bearded women thing was good; the falling off the horse was, well, needless and gratuitous, but that pretty much describes a lot of PJ's Gimli.
The Aragorn/Arwen stuff is great, except for King Thingol, cough, oops, I mean Elrond, who looks like he'd rather yank out his fingernails than let his daughter hang out with "that boy."
I really love Miranda Otto's Eowyn, but does it strike anybody else that she's not the cold shieldmaiden she was in the books? She smiles, she laughs, she cries, she asks personal questions about hot Rangers' girlfriends. Sure, there's a few scenes where the coldness comes through (particularly her scene with Grima earlier in the film), but for the most part she's been microwaved from the books.
