If you want to really enjoy this movie, switch off your exacting critic and watch it as it was seen by thousands of people that never read the books. It took me three viewings to get it. It isn't Tolkien, it's Peter Jackson, and it's really amazing - for Peter Jackson. FotR stayed with the book, TTT didn't, but that's okay because neither of them are the books, regardless of what Jackson promised.
