I guess some other things that got me irked were Jackson's disrespect to Tolkien in a way. It really makes me question did he make these movies as a "fan" of the books, or to make a name for himself?

Tolkien said the most moving parts of the story for him was the cock crow when Rohan arrived to Gondor's aid and Gollum's near repentance but Sam's "rebuking" turned him back towards evil. Both were left out of the movie.

Tolkien felt like for his story The Scouring of the Shire was an essential part, Jackson replied with leaving out the Scouring was a "no-brainer."

Tolkien changed The Hobbit and took out all references to Tomatoes, feeling like he didn't want them in Middle-earth. Jackson said this was silly and put them in the movie...why, to prove that he felt like it was silly?

I notice a pattern of Tolkien stating his feelings and most moving parts of his story, and Jackson just for some reason purposefully changes it or just doesn't include it at all.
