The juvenile exchanges between Aragorn and Legolas were bad enough, but as
the movie progressed, I started to get downright p/o'd. Faramir "captures"
Frodo and starts bringing him back towards Minas Tirith? Treebeard is a
halfwit who has to be TRICKED by Pippen into fighting Isengard? Frodo and
Sam stumbling towards the black gate, but hiding under a jacket in a sand
pit to avoid detection? An army of Elves at Helm's deep? WHY??? It
wouldn't have taken any longer to stick closer to Tolkien's story. In fact
they added quite of horrible dialogue and took the story in totally
illogical directions. Very, very disappointing.
