I'm not sure what you'd call it, but there seems to be something missing from the movies somehow. I'm not talking about the obvious gripes, like Tom Bombadil, Glorfindel, or the weird mutant hyena things. This seems to be more on a deeper level. There was something that I'm sure most of us felt when we first read the books that didn't quite transfer over to the movies, and I can't really desribe it here.

I hope that actually made some sense to you. What are your thoughts?
