Being familiar with the book ROTK really lessened my enjoyment of the movie ROTK. It's my least favorite of the three films... the only scene in the movie ROTK that I honestly felt came close to the book was the end at the Grey Havens (and Sam's return home). If I look at the movie as an adaptation of the book I really can't enjoy it; it I can detach myself enough to look at it as just a movie, then I can enjoy it for itself.

I've experienced a similar problem with just about every supehero comic adaptation I've seen--they always have to change something. . .
