[QUOTE="Gez, post: 6592, member: 1328"] The film is excellent, and very well done. However, I have a lots of minor quibbles. [list] [*]Taking out the conspiracy of the hobbits. [*]Having orcs been created from stone [*]Making the uruk-hai orc/goblin crossbreeds, whereas orc is synonym of goblin and uruk-hai were human-orc hybrids. [*]Having Saruman telling Gandalf he has a palantir, and claiming he wants to join Sauron (rather than saying it would be better to use the ring against its creator). [*]Having Gimli as a comic relief. [*]Making Gimli, rather than Boromir, warn the fellowship against the Witch of the Lorien. [*]Over-emphasizing Gimli's defiance of Elves. [*]Removing Bilbo from the Council of Elrond. [*]Having everyone know that Frodo left the fellowship alone. In the book, only Samwise guessed what Frodo was doing. [*]Too much copper instrument in the music. Sometimes, it was also very uninspired. Like when facing the Balrog, or also in the Lorien. I dislike harps, it's too easy. [*]Some inconsistencies. For example, in the moria, you have a window that brings a ray of light on Balin's tomb. Well, that's poetic and beautiful, but when you've got a troll-fight scene, you don't put sunlight unless you want the troll to be petrified.
