It's perfectly explicable, given that the circumstances of each are far from identical. It seems to me that most plot/character "inconsistencies" can be explained one way or another with some thought, provided that one recognises that the characters and events are not the same as those depicted in the book. Of course, most film-goers won't notice such "inconsistencies" and therefore won't have any need for an explanation.
I suppose that if I had to identify one aspect of the films that irritates me the most, it is the technical mistakes. Such as continuity errors, dead orcs moving, anachronisms in the background and Legolas getting his directions mixed up. With the amount of money lavished on the films, and the incredible level of care and detail that went in to them for the most part, I feel that such matters should have been addressed (on the EEs at least, if not the cinema-released versions).
Then again, I wouldn't have noticed any of these either (even the Legolas/direction of Isengard one) had I not seen them pointed out here in the Downs.
