To all of you who complain about the movie's lack of inconsistency with the book:

They did have the decency to say 'based upon LOTR' - which technically allows some freedom to the screenwriter. Now, if they'd said: 'Tolkien's LOTR' - thatwould have been sacrilege.

As for Tolkien's claim of not liking changes in wording, remember that cinematography is mainly a visual art.
