Yes Eomer all of these things annoyed me. Though I can hardly criticize PJ for the Balrog wings since it is not proven either way (at least not conclusively). Still I was somewhat disappointed with the Balrog. Much worse are the other things you mentioned. It is the gaping plot holes and the misrepresentation of certain characters (like Gimli and Faramir) that gets me. But all of these things have been talked about so much. One that I don't think gets mentioned enough is Elrond, there is definitely a difference between the two versions of him.
