(12,864 posts)Frodo telling Sam to get lost deviated from the book, but it was believable within the movie.
What I thought didn't make sense when I first saw Two Towers was how the Ents decided to go to war against Saruman. That the Orcs of Orthanc were ravaging the neighboring trees of Fangorn would have already been known to Treebeard, and he did in fact make a comment about the destruction being wrought by the Orcs. Then, when Treebeard bellowed his rage an army of Ents was immediately present to march against Saruman.
The books are so much better, but I love the movies neverthelss. One thing I did like better in Return of the King was Eowen being with Theoden when he died. I also liked the fight with the troll in the frst movie, though the troll's spear thrust would have broken Frodo's ribs even if the spearpoint couldn't pierce his mithril shirt.
