Sam said it best when he said "Mr. Frodo, by all rights we shouldn't even be here." Why, oh why did they change the scene at Henneth Annun so much??? Tricksy, False.Also the Gandalf as Exorcist scene was a little over the top. And Haldir the Smarmy at Helm's Deep?But!! The Ents were spectacular and Gollum was wonderful and I loved they byplay that Gimli and Legolas had. Sigh. I am sad about the book deviations, but I have to say the film is stunningly beautiful and I will definitely have to see it a few times. And I agree; the beginning is amazing!
