[Elladan and Elrohir]

Definitely an enjoyable sequence. The famed Smeag/Gol argument is without a doubt the best single piece of acting in the films, one of the best of all time.

Sam sees the light as far as Gollum goes, yet he still resorts to pettiness to try to gain his master's favor ("What's to ruin? There's hardly any meat on 'em."). I don't like that part, but I like that this scene survived with modifications into the film.

Showing a thoughtful Faramir at his introduction is wonderful, and goes a long way toward making us sympathize with him (something you can't really do in the theatrical version). The flashback scene with Denethor and Boromir, obviously, will endear him to everybody who's not already fed up with his unextended portrayal.
