I adore the movies, and I think that PJ did a wonderful job interpreting the books. There are some things you just have to change for a cinematic version. Interpreting the books to the letter would produce a dull, lengthy film which sends the majority of the audience to sleep, and I would probably be snoring alongside them.There is absolutely nothing wrong with editing a few details. I mean, it's better than turning Elrond into the Ringbearer and Pippin into the Dark Lord, right? There could be worse changes made than the ones PJ did.
