This guy must have a ring up his ass. I agree the major deviations in the TTR and RTK movies didn't add much (and in some cases sucked), but in general, looking through his list of complaints about Fellowship, I find myself disagreeing with him about almost -every- single change Jackson made, except these four, which could easily have been left in to strengthen the story:
17) Frodo doesn't try to stab the Nazgul at Weathertop 24) Bilbo's not at the Council 32) Saruman wants to join Mordor (is slave to Sauron, not trying to be independant) 70) Boromir's betrayal on Amon-Hen is portrayed as a fairly obvious and aggressive attack
Besides that, Jackson did *good*. But wait for my re-edit once I've got all the extended footage together heh-heh;-)
