I personaly didn't like the movie nearly as much as the others, although I am an obsessive-compulsive, overly critical perfectionist. I especialy disliked Elrond showing up with Anduril. Other than that I hated the Legolas stunt, TTT ones were okay but this was really pushing it (although I did like Legolas and Gimli counting orcs! )I also didn't like the whole Frodo/Sam/Gollum thing. Mordor was WAY to small and what about the whole Barad-Dur lighthouse, besides, after the clips you see of Barad-Dur before I didn't think it was big enough, strong enough, scary enough etc. Athough Minas Morgul was good. And Shelob wasn't at all what I thought she would be, they really could have done more (bigger, more eyes, longer legs, a faint green luminescence underneath etc.) I didn't miss The Scouring of the Shire as much as I thought and at the end the needed to do more with the Elven Rings, plus Bilbo was really ugly, athough when he asks about the ring that was good. That's just scratching the surface, but all I shall say for now. Aside from all of that, it is growing on me.
