I really didn't like most of the changes from the book, especially Faramir, which Zarah already talked about over here, so go read that. The cliff scene, I didn't quite like either, but we got to see some loverly Aragorn/Legolas moments (Help! I'm falling for this pairing and I can't get up!), and, of course, Aragorn cmoing through the door in Theoden's hall, a scene about which my notes say "Want. Ranger. Babies."
Also, the whole Elrond&Arwen thing. Argh? Nononono, people, Elrond would never do that!
I'm not sure what I think of the whole Theoden thing. I mean, sure, the scene was cool an all, but I really liked the book plot, too. Power of words and all that.
Now, on to the positive, mostly taken almost literally from my notes.
Ewyyyyyyyyn! I want her so fucking badly, man. She's all cool and strong and gorgeous and stuff.
The hobbits are in WUV!
Nazguuuuuuuuuuul! *lusts*
Ahahahaha! My notes say "Marcus!" Which I think is a reference to the cave trolls used to open the Black Gate.
"Where is Sam's other hand?" was a question I asked myself quite often.
Legolas jumping on the horse backwards. oizjdsdqmsq,ndaze I want Elf-boy. Badly.
Liv Tyler's upper lip is a lot bigger than her lower lip, and it's fucking distracting me every time she and Viggo snog. Argh.
Legolas and Gimli are OMG SOINLOVE!!1!1!1!1!!1111!!!!!
"Are you his bodyguard?" Dude, did anyone else see this as a reference to The Bodyguard and thus as a shout-out to us slashers? (No, yeah, didn't think so. I'm insane. Ignore me.)
"Um. L+A?" yeah, so like I said, I randly fell for Legolas/Aragorn.
Have I mentioned that the Hobbits are in love?
March of the Ents. I mouthed that entire bit of monologue from Treebeard. Geek? Who, me? Naaah.
Oh, look, random Aragorn/Gandalf moment.
"Your Sam" sqlkfjsqjdqmlkdjqser,n HOBBITS IN WUV!!!!
And that's it for the spoilers. In summary: some stuff I didn't really like, lots of stuff I loved, and my reproductive system now officially belongs to Peter Jackson.

It wasn't perfect but it was the best imperfect EVER.
And I am a somewhat rabid Legolas/Aragorn fan from last year (as mainstream as my interests tend to lie) so yes. yes. yes. yes. I think at one point I was at risk of sliding out of my chair.
This one was so much slashier and so much darker and caused me to vibrate in my seat the entire time (in a non-kinky way, I swear). I cringed a little at some of the parts that deviated from the book, but I didn't mind a lot of them.
I'm still all !!!!

I just needed to get that out. I have no one to squee with. So, thank you.
Also, in regards to my icon - yes, I am the biggest sap that ever lived.

And yes! A+L, did you see the look he gave Theoden when he told Legolas to leave the dead? Woah. *joins you in the Elf-boy wanting*
I want to be an Ent. :)
And, um. Haldir. *whimper*

Re:
And the A/L kind of blindsided me, man. I didn't see it at all in Fellowship, but now, wow. The Elvish and the argument and "You're late," and "You look terrible," and squeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
The Elves at Helm's Deep are one of the few changes I unconditionally love. It shows the growing realisation of the Elves that they should help Mankind survive, because this should be their time, and god, the arrival of the Elf Army and the look Haldir gives Legolas and Aragorn and Aragorn hugging him and I WANT TO HAVE ELVISH BABIEEEEES!!!
squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Squee! A/L! I feel terrible, they're at WAR, and they think everyone's gonna DIE, and my brain is going "Hey, I wonder if they could steal a few minutes in an out-of-the-way storeroom.."!
I lovelovelove Elves at Helm's Deep, I would love it just on the basis of how fucking COOL Haldir looks in his armour, with that crimsom cape....guh.
I want to wrire Aragorn/Haldir, stab my head?
ENTS! And the Nazgul and their fucking DRAGONS!

Oh, god, Haldir was the ultimate Elf badass. "We have come to honour this allegiance," and he smiles at Aragorn and Legolas and qsjdqddsqskfjvnlkrhjd I WANT HIM! I want ALL the Elves, man. when they marched into Helm's Deep? I think I ovulated.
I want to wrire Aragorn/Haldir, stab my head?

There are no words to express how happy I am with it. I read a negative review right before I went, and was all set to be dissapointed, and they blew me away.
