[QUOTE="dontpunkme, post: 1885086, member: 17938"] I'm gonna keep this list fairly short: 1) Where were the sons of Elrond? Would it be too much to show them just a handful of times? 2) Gimli- I loved him in the books and when we get to the movies he's just insipid comic relief. 3) Another group of missing characters- the Dunedain? Where was the grey company? How can anyone omit them for christ's sake they are the Westernese and the rangers of the north -- Aragorn's most faithful soldiers. 4) The Mouth of Sauron - as in yet another character than goes missing and completely ruins the final battle (Let alone, the significance he serves being to Sauron what Sauron was to Melkor). What about the drama when he hands over Frodo's clothes and gear? Oh wait, Sam gave it to Frodo. 5) Limiting the Ents on screen time, let alone no mention of the Entwives. 6) TOM BOMBADIL - seems to me from my rememberance of the books Tom Bombadil happens to put the ring on to no effect to his person. Let alone cutting out the fantastic barrow wight scenes. Hi Ho what the hell? 7) Way to completely ruin the whole men under the mountain scene. Let alone how fantastic they lead into the battle on the fields of Pelennor. I'm not going to get into the intro cutting out the backstory or how Merry and Peregrin actually deviously ambush Frodo before he leaves on his journey. In all reality I could probably ramble on for hours and hours but I grow weary of complaining about something that will never be resolved. [/QUOTE]
