Sauron....ok. Let's see now.
I mean that the screenwriters made up a lot of quite cheesy/silly lines, which were not in the original books, were very unTolkienesque, but have subsequently become associated with Tolkien in people's minds. The "smallest person" thing that davem mentioned, was a good example...Sam and Frodo's rather soppy interchanges:
Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.
Lots of Theoden's lines, too. What can men do against such reckless hate, no man should have to bury his child....these were not the words of a man of Rohan, but of a modern chappie full of "emotional intelligence". They annoyed me.
