Overall: Quite good.<P>They had some really bad changes (SPOILER WARNING)with the Ents, Faramir, and Eomer being gone the whole time. Also Gimli's attempt at humor was good, but I felt that it did not fit in at all.<P>Thast the bad stuff. The battled rocked, Legolas was way cooler, Gollum was SO real, Merry and Pippin are much better, and its so sad when you see the little kids suiting up for battle. I almost cried...<P>Anyways, as a movie for nonreaders, it was better than FotR, although nonreaders will be VERY confused about the Ents, but as for us book addicts, it can be a little worse than FotR in the fact that it varied from the books more.
