Agree, it could have been better. I do remember the book being overly laden with battle stuff. The movie, IMO, is a reflection of the emphasis. Still, it was very well paced (fast action) and wasn't boring, even to my wife who usually sleeps through fantasy battles.

Would have been nice to have seen more character development re Frodo and Sam. Still the emphasis on Gollum seemed ok to me. He was, after all, once a Hobbit. And there is the suspense created of whether or not he will be redeemed or slip back into his evil ways. This adds believability to Frodo's struggle with the power of the ring over him.

I agree that the scenes you mentioned are special. My biggest disappointment was Sam's sappy dialog at the end. Still, and all very worthwhile flic which I will see again. How does it measure up to the first one? First one is better. I blame the material, not the film as I enjoyed reading the first book more.
