The lines that bothered me the most after seeing the movie again today was the whole "Farmer Maggot" sequence to introduce Merry and Pippin in the mix. I always thought that scene was rather weak. And when Frodo shouts "Get off the road!" and they're hiding from the Rider, even though Merry and Pippin are totally clueless about what is going on. Just didn't seem to be a well thought out sequence. <P>Oh, well - at least he got the two Hobbits into the film before they reached Bree.
