Although I thought it was a pretty good movie, there are numerous, not "very few" things that were left out, or just plain different from the book; a less-than-exhaustive list is:
Some extra things (u might already have listed some
[35] On The Moment That Bilbo Used The Ring(at his Party) Gandalf ignited a Rocket so that the PPL Saw a Flash and when they opened their eyes Bilbo was gone.
[36?] I cant remember Gandalf Lost his staff? en talking to a butterfly when he was captured by Saruman, then from somewere his staff is back?
[37?]Where Was Bill when they had to hide fom those Birds on the Mountain? en Bill is a Pony? not a Mule?
[38] FATTY? only at the Party!?
[39] Frodo was not stabbed by an Cave Troll , a Troll Chieftain hurled a spear to him , there was a Cave Trol but there there was Light in the Room so the cave troll did not enter it.
[40] Smeagol after they left Lothlorien.
[41] Aragorn did not see Frodo on the other side on the river (were boromir died)
[42] Boromir Killed All Those orcs , Aragorn Legolas and Gimli were looking for Frodo , they did not fight.
[43] PPL Heard Boromir's horn in gondor , they did not show that.
[44] the Boat Were they Put Boromir after he died was Filled with the Gear of the Orcs he Slain.
[45] All The Gifts that Galandriel Gave to the Fellowship were not shown , neither the
Lembas(extremely important!) nor they shown Galandriel on her huge boat wishing farewell to the Fellowship.
Sirp, by the Hoarwell (the River by Rivendell) Elrond Peredhil raised the Water to Protect Frodo , the struggle that ur talking about is that Frodo wanted to Jump from the horse so that the RingWraiths could catch him , he wanted to be cought.
i could go on for hours like this...
well if u did not Read The Book and u like Fantasy adventures ,
THAT FILM ITS A MUST
If u Did read the Book u can either: Go To The Movie and Enjoi it while getting irritaded about the things that they did not include it in the film.
or: wait till they release some kind of Director's Cut DVD and hope that ist better.
Best Thing About The Film: ITS THE LORD OF THE RINGS! (the readers Digest of the undetailed edition in Pocket book version but still....)
Worse thing: Boromir death , they tried to make it Heroic but its still not HALF as heroic as in the book.
U Should Love Tolkien to make the movie , not (like the Producers in this case) want to make $$$$$$$$$ and more $$$$$$$$ and well u get it......
