[Kransha]

I was lucky enough to have most of my pre-formed mental images agree with those in the movie. In terms of people: Gimli (except for the comic relief element), Bilbo, Gandalf, Saruman, Treebeard, Eowyn, Grima, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Boromir, and the Nazgul were all how i'd pictured them. On the other hand, Legolas, Frodo, Theoden, Denethor, Faramir, and some others were not, though that really depends on my pictures of them mentally, rather than my mental pictures of them (if that makes any sense).

In terms of places: Minas Tirith, Cirith Ungol, Edoras, Helm's Deep, Bree, Moria, Rivendell, Orthanc, the Shire, and most of Mordor seemed accurate enough to me, except for minor details. In fact, I don't think any of the places were too inaccurate.
