Rhun charioteer, I take it you mean aspects of the films that are often targets of criticism? Well, I'll second a couple of other people: losing Tom Bombadil and Glorfindel- not because I have anything against either of them but because it was a good idea to reduce the number of characters and subplots rather than trying to cram them all in.
There's a lot of little changes that mostly go unnoticed and undiscussed rather than criticised, but I guess that's not what you're talking about?

On the other hand, there was a minor word-change that irritates me: the replacement of Tolkien's consistent beer with D&D/Renfaire-speak ale.
And, please don't come over on me with the post-medieval date of lagering or the fact that traditional British beers are ales or that ale is an Anglo-Saxon word: Tolkien didn't use words by accident and he chose to use beer. That PBJ "knew better" is just one indicator of their tone-deafness overall.
