Though they did move my favorite line "...if by life or death I can save you, I will" to the Council of Elrond ....

...and changed it to "if by my life or death I can help you," if memory serves. A favorite line of mine, as well.

My biggest complaint with the film was that the Prancing Pony scene was jush rushed thru and chopped to pieces. I understand the time constraints, etc but really, this has always been my favorite chapter in the books and the movie lost some important moments. The whole 'feel' of the dark night, 'someone' sneaking over the gate, Merry going off to check on the horses (and meeting a black rider),etc. Stider's introduction and the SLOW realization that he is one of the good guys was done so well in the book. Also, while Pippin does talk too openly and is getting dangerously foolish, he was never so foolish to reveal Frodo's real name. It was such a scary chapter to read but in the movie, it merely becomes a transition scene. There. I am done complaining.
