A couple of them seemed more of a rant against the faster frame speed, more than the actual film. But the criticisms about the length "You can read book out loud quicker than the time it will take to watch all three films" or Jackson's apparent refusal to understand trimming and editting films are a part of wearing the director pants are undoubtedly spot on.

The consistant favorite seems to be Gollum's appearance and encounter with Bilbo, which is refreshing that the memorable part of the first movie is a great chapter in the books. Those compliments are probably more appropriately given to Serkis and Freeman though.
