Yeah, it's hard to pick apart that argument. :-) (something to be said for simplicity).

I thought Frodo was great...the only character (and scenes) I wasn't quite satisfied with was Boromir...but he was pretty close to what I envisioned. I think the Orc arrows should've been individually smaller and less deadly in that scene, and the Orcs themselves should've been smaller too (but a lot of them) in that fight scene, as described in the book. In the book, they eventually filled Boromir full of arrows because his swordplay was too much for them to handle at close quarters. But no big deal.

They also did not show the retreating Orcs getting swallowed up by the forest of Huorns at their backs at the battle of Helm's Deep in movie 2, and that would have been very spooky and memorable. Can't figure why they left it out.

But these are very small points to quibble about.
