Reverse Gripes

[Glirdan]

Hmmm... I find that in RotK, we see a lot more of the maturity difference between Merry and Pippin. It's true that they have both grown (I'm not talking physically, but they did grow that way to). However, in the movie, it is much more apparent that Merry is the most mature of the two. My favorite scene to show this is when Gandalf and Pippin are about to depart for Gondor outside the stables. This scene really shows that difference where as in the books, it still shows them at the same maturity level.

I also enjoyed how PJ added the little scenes with Arwen and Eowyn in TTT and in RotK. It gives us more insight on why Elrond didn't want Arwen to marry Aragorn.

And perhaps one of my favorite parts was at the end of RotK when Frodo and Bilbo are ridding in the carriage and Bilbo asks "Whatever happened to my Ring". I don't know why but this scene really captured me and made me think "So, it's really over." I didn't get that feeling in the book so I'm really quite pleased with that particular scene.
