Lothlorien would also be the subject of my change. I would have tried to make it more colourful, shining, a fairy-tale land, something that would mhave a bigger impact on the viewers and make them go 'oooh!', so that even the person who hasn't read LOTR would catch a glimpse of its beauty. I realize this is very vague and difficult to do, but, well, I'm no director...<BR>I would make the battles scenes shorter - though some people find them 'cool', an equal number of people find them 'boring', and add character-developing scenes, like Meela suggested with Legolas. I'd also try to stick to the original dialogue as much as possible, keeping the archaisms and specific phrase-structures, to create that certain ancient 'feel'.
