Obviously, there were no copyright issues for the Lord of the Rings film trilogy. Jackson, Walsh and Boyens certainly did exercise a good deal of "poetic license" - or perhaps a better term is creative license - in writing the movies' scripts. I think much of this has to do with 'streamlining' the dialogue so that modern audiences feel comfortable with their understanding of the plot. Whether it worked or not is arguable, but I would be interested in seeing a few examples where the quotes are slightly changed for seemingly no reason. I cannot recall any off the top of my head.
