Oh i REALLY disliked the radioactive Palantir. It made me laugh almost as much as when Aragorn's swrond got set on fire in TTT. (I know that's in the book, but it just looked so funny)...<P>The Arwen subplot: I am female and i'm not offended that there weren't many women in the books.<P>The Human Fireball: what a waste of a wonderful scene. The Pyre of Denethor could have ended really dramatically with the roof caving in on him and everything, but he just HAD to go and jump off a cliff, didn't he?<P>The omission of Tolkien dialogue: i can understand what he is saying, so i am sure most people who see the film can as well.<P>The Evil Searchlight of Mordor: the ray coming from The Eye for me seemed to diminish it's power rather than increase it. The ray limited the vision of the Eye from all seeing to just where the light is, which isn't a very big area.<P>The addition of Smeagol's history: I didn't really mind this bit, but let's face it: Saruman is better.
