Ok, am I the only person in the world who enjoyed the stone giant scene? No, it didn't really contribute much to the plot, but for me it was a great addition to the overall fantasy of Middle Earth.
What about those giant statues that they sailed past in FOTR? I loved that too even though nobody would know who they were unless they read the book. No plot advancement there either. But it helped remind you that this was a fantastic, magical realm where there's things to be in awe of around every corner. The films need more of that, not less.
Stone giants and other big epic things in LOTR are cool. Complain more about other things, like trolls who used to be badass, but now sound like tipsy football fans from some East End pub.
