Only a few annoyances when major things were changed like:
* everything to do with Arwen
* how Aragorn carries a sword
* when Faramir tries to take the ring
I could be here all day I suppose...

...Did anyone else find it strange that Sting finally glowed blue in the third film when it never did that in the first two? Disgusted

* I liked the inclusion of Arwen. I think it added to the story, although, it wasn't at all faithful to the book.
* Aragorn carries a sword in the book, doesn't he?
* Yeah, the bit with Faramir kinda pissed me off as well. He was supposed to be greater than his brother, not just the same. I dunno why they put that in the movie.

And sting does glow in the first movie. Watch it again.

--- WARNING: SPOILER TO FOLLOW ---

I'm kinda annoyed at the killing of the Nazgul king. It would seem that "No man can kill him". In the movie it seemed that 'cuz Eowyn was a woman, she could kill him??? However, in the book Merry is carrying a sword specifically designed for killing Nazgul. Merry's sword is described as follows "No other blade, not though mightier hands had wielded it, would have dealt that foe a wound so bitter, cleaving the undead flesh, breaking the spell that knit his unseen sinews to his will."
I would draw from this that Merry's sword broke the spell that kept the Nazgul's body from harm, and then Eowyn killed it.
So I'm kinda annoyed that they left the whole "Merry has a sword that kills Nazgul" bit out. Even if they wanted to drop the bit with Tom Bombadil, they still coulda left in the finding of the swords.

Yeah I agree. I was a bit annoyed to begin with about Arwen, but in the end it actually adds to the movies I think.

Aragorn does carry a sword and I loved that one. It was "fully sik bro". Smile

Faramir did annoy me too, but after watching the extended version of the Two Towers, it all falls into place and you actually see him in a totally different light. Makes a HUGE difference.

------------SPOILERS--------------------

I was a bit frustrated at the killing as well, but I was still in awe of his weapon. Very Happy
