Much agreed. I read LotR 20-some times before seeing the movie, so I would have to say that my viewing was biased. So your observation is fair. Still, this does not excuse Peter Jackson from criticism, and even if there were no books, his movies contain internal inconsistencies that could have been resolved otherwise.
alatar, knowing that he may be asked, "What inconsistencies?" plans to reread his posts in the Sequnce-by-sequence.
