It was awful, campy, stupid. I nearly walked out. I've written long posts about it in the past and won't repeat myself, but the dwarf tossing scene and Legolas skateboarding down stairs are pretty good examples of what was wrong with that movie. "Hey, if we have elves show up at Helm's Deep it'll make a cooler battle scene! Who cares if it makes any sense?"
In FOTR and ROTK there's a list of certain things I would have changed to improve the movies. In TTT I hardly know where to start.

I don't disagree with any of your points, but I don't think they were the sins you do. Not that I begrudge you your opinion. I'll just say my point of view on them.
As for Legolas going down the stairs on the shield, I groaned a little inwardly on that one, so I agree, but it hardly seems like something that ruins a movie.
The dwarf tossing one I didn't mind. I did groan at the joke about that in FotR, and it took me out of the movie there, but by the time they did it again in TTT, it was kinda an inside joke at that point, so I actually chuckled. It was funny seeing it reversed. 'Toss me...' I would think if you were mad about it in TTT, you'd be just as mad about it in the first movie.
As for the Elves at Helm's Deep, it had been so long since I had read the books, I totally forgot about that, or why it might not make sense. So I didn't mind.
Again, not to say your opinion is wrong, just that it didn't really bug me that much, if at all. Thanks for sharing though, was curious.
