The worst change in FOTR

Thrain: I definitely agree with you. I felt that Jackson took too many liberties and didn't produce a movie that truly reflected the characters in LOTR. So much that made the characters alive doesn't exist.

Pippin and Merry were the most annoying for me. Although Pippin was my most favorite in the book - he was one of my least favorite in the movie. I also don't think Gandalf was made to look wise - he kept searching blindly around. He never really seemed to know what he was doing. The conflict with Legolas and Gimli are only touched on at the Council of Elrond and then never pursued in the rest of the movie.

Hopefully some of this would be remedied on the Directors Cut DVD - but it still does not do anything for the characterization of the hobbits.
