I was more annoyed by the over the top stunts; Legolas surfing the shield down the stairs, bouncing around like Spider-Man on the oliphaunt, etc. That and some of the lame attempts at humor (most of which had Gimli as the butt of the them) did detract from the films.
But that having been said, they remain the greatest fantasy epic ever put on film. I just like to nitpick :-)
Yeah, that too. And Arwen, Warrior Princess.
