The dwarf throwing remark was a big mistake. Still, the movie was probably better than the book on several levels.I'm now rereading the book and finding its flaws pretty obvious. Fine as a story, it's not superb as literature or fiction as we know it today.
Would have been nice to have seen Tom Bombadil and the Barrow Wight in the movie. Probably too difficult to integrate them with the story. I believe they are not all that well integrated in the book, which makes it even more difficult.
