Parts of the movies criticized that you liked anyway - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

So for Tolkien's book fans the Peter Jackson movies have had a mixed reception.

So what criticized movie scenes and ideas does anyone not have a problem with.

Personally I didn't mind the elves at Helm's Deep-yes I know it doesn't fit the story thematically but for it does show the elves in combat, I loved the entry music, and it shows why the elves are so special at least in terms of combat.

I enjoyed the Saruman-Gandalf duel-it was fun to both Wizards cut loose and fight.

I also liked the taller Balrog-it was more intimidating and awe inspiring than how it was described in the book.

So what movie scenes, events, and characters that received criticism were you fine with.
