What are your most hated parts about the L.O.T.R movies?

[Essex]

Neurion, re

there would have been room for more actual book material, such as the Knights of Dol Amroth, Imrahil, Beregond, maybe even the Dunedain.

everyone seems to be viewing these films as being made just for us rabid book readers - if they were, then new line would be out of business today.

What would the people in the list above bring to the Movie?

Knights of Dol Amroth - just more armies from another part of Gondor - this would just confuse the movie goers

imrahil - what does this guy actually add to the books let alone the move! yes, I know he was briefly in charge of Minas Tirith for a while during or after the battle (wasn't he?), but hey, that's not too exiting is it?

Beregond - yes, and I enjoyed these scenes in the books, but do you think we could have had these scenes work as Jackson is building the tension up with Frodo & co struggling up the mountains, rohan getting ready for war, and Gandalf pumping up the gondorians? i don't think so unfortunately.......

Dunedain - their main use in the book was to deliver Elrond's thoughts on which way Aragorn should go via the paths of the dead - but in the film jackson had gandalf deliver the line, so no real use for them either...........

yes, this is quite a flippant reply, but I'm trying to make sense of why these were left out, and I think they are valid 'excuses'.

totally agree with jacson using new character names though - there's no point in that!
