I hated the humour they tried to inject, for I guess, levity. It wasn’t needed, and took away from the scenes. Also anything in slow motion is a waste of screen-time. The needless romantic scenes, should have been scrapped. The battles and pre-amble to battles - also too long.
I would have preferred Tom Bombadil over the Ent scenes any day. I know they’re supposed to be slow moving/talking, but for the interest of time they could get to the point faster. To be fair, they were a slog to get through in the books too.
That said, Fellowship was near perfect, but TT and RoTK felt like they could have had a shorter running time without any ill-effects.
