Many of my gripes have been aired. I to object to some inclusions more than exclusions (I mean I would have liked Galdor, Sons of Elrond and Imrahil but they excluded them in the 12 hr long radio version so..... ) . I would have preferred shorter battles and more character development and I think in a way the CGI hindered this - that troll fight went on far too long for a one paragraph incident I felt they did things becasue they could rather than becasue it was necessary - but the scaling rarely looked quite right to me.

I think most of the main characters were demeaned in some way by the film. The possible exceptions being Boromir and the younger hobbits.

But my single most hated thing has to be Legolas's get up at the council of Elrond. How did he get to be such a object of desire when he is wearing that strange nylon crushed velvet nightie thing - is it his comfort-blanket or what?
