I thought the movie was pretty good.

Obviously they've left some parts out. Obviously they've taken a few shortcuts and changed some things to tell the story. They kind of have to, as many have pointed out, because 600+ page books do not translate well to the big screen unless you edit them accordingly. And for that matter, why should they? Different mediums, different visions, different accomodations.

It's like, "Tom Bombadil" all over again, sheesh.
