I liked Pippin's singing--nay, I loved it. It was one of the best cinematographical pieces in the movie. <BR>The part I hated the most was, as others have mentioned before, Frodo sending Sam away. That is something he never did unless under the power of the Ring, such as at Mount Doom when he chose to keep the Ring and knocked Sam over. It rather destroyed part of what hobbits are. In addition, I don't feel Gollum was supposed to be as subtle as they made him when he was influencing Frodo and planting evidence. Suddenly I felt that I had wandered into a murder mystery complete with villain, plot, detective, and courtroom scene. Gollum, like hobbits, simply wasn't that subtle and intelligent. <BR>I felt the crowning scene wasn't anywhere near as grand and climactic in the movie as in the book. <BR>Of course there are many little things, but the Gollum-Frodo-Sam thing really, really annoyed me.
