I just saw the movie not more than ten minutes ago. I did not enjoy most of the movie. I also recently saw the Harry Potter movie with my children and I must say, the director did a much better job of staying true to the book.<BR> Here is what I did not like: 1.) The portrayal of Merry and Pippin, 2.)The entire ending scene, 3.) The duel between Gandalf and Sauraman, 4.) The portrayal of Galadriel, 5.) The almost non-existance of Gollum, 6.) The entrance to Lothlorien, 7.) the portrayal of Butterbur.<BR> There were scenes I did like. The scene with the Balrog. I liked Legolas. Most of Gandalf. Most of the fight scenes, with the noted exception of the duel between the wizards.<BR> I just do not understand the most of the changes.
