Plus, PJ has said that he hated the Scouring of the Shire chapter, and flet it was anti-climatic. (?) So in the Fellowship he included that little vision in Galadriel's mirror of the hobbits all tied up and being whipped as a homage to that part of the book.
Frankly, I thought Christopher Lee was terrible in this one. And what's with the blatant magic, i.e. fire bursting out of his staff? So un-Tolkien it's not even funny. Wormtounge stabbing Saruman
is faithful to the book, it just is in a different location.
I was glad they put Gandalf and the Witchking back in as well. The drinking game scene was pretty funny, too. And I loved all the extra Eowyn and Faramir scenes. I guess my biggest beef with the film is I think they really could have added more to the ending - but then I suppose quite a few people would fall alseep. It is quite long as it is. And I wanted me some more Galadriel damnit!
I'm gonna watch the appendices this weekend - they're always so interesting.
