I'm not saying it's this year's Best Picture, but I did enjoy it.

I am a fan of Tolkien's writing, and I've read the Silmarrilion quite a few times, so I think I'm familiar enough with the story, and I still enjoyed TTT. So maybe they took out some things, it didn't really bother me because I know they will be in ROTK. They added some things, which they do in EVERY book to movie adaption; I didn't hear Harry Potter fans complaining if they added or took things out of the movie. No movie exactly replicates the book it got its idea from, and thats what it is, an IDEA. I'm not saying its this year's Best Picture, but I did enjoy it. The only thing I will complain about is Arwen's role. In the book, she has no speaking part, and in this movie her role is so overdone. But thats about it.
Oh yeah, and I didn't hear you all complaining when they took about four chapters out of FOTR. If you have such a problem with this, don't go see it.
