But epic CGI battles, yay /puke

As someone who has seen all the movies and read the book, I didn't see that at all. Movies are rarely exactly the book anyways, and even if they were, this wouldn't be plausible with something as grand and epic as LOtR. I think Tolkien would approve of the films.
There are at least two points in the trilogy where Jackson has a character stop the story and recount everything that has happened, is happening, and what it'll mean if it continues to happen.
Jackson was eager to show you all of his cards rather than invite you to guess at what they might be. "Here! The King of Hearts: he has the sword, but he does not want it! He never wanted it!"
Re: FIT quote first. Too bad ignore doesn't save you from quotes. Don't bother replying to my posts, I usually don't see the replies and really couldn't care less. No surprise that you "didn't see it".

The one scene to end them all:
Frodo standing in Osgiliath (Faramir was changed into a douche to get Frodo there in the movie, for no reason at all), under the spell of the ring, showing The One Ring to the head of the Nazgul. Who takes a look, is all "meh" and flies off.
Even the undead Slimer army isn't as bad as that.

You have me on ignore, yet replied to one of my posts (after entering a thread that I created to boot). Personally, I think you're full of it: you read every single one of my posts, and cannot resist replying when I make a post replying to something you said
And you are wrong about that Frodo scene (or more likely, you left out important details deliberately to try and prove your weak point).
