I think both FotR and tTT are excellent movies. I, as a person who has known these stories since I was about five, have a few issues with some of the changes he made. But I recognize that a movie is not a book. What works on the page may not work on the screen. Thus far, all of the changes seem only to make the story work better as a film, and I applaud PJ for doing what he thought would make a good movie and not worrying exclusively about what the fans wanted. If you're going to create art, you can't pander to your audience.
