I agree about Treebeard, and would throw in Faramir. My wife and No. 2 son are really upset about Faramir - Leo refuses to see TT a second time.

Most of the rest of this review appears to be sour grapes at artistic decisions to make TT fit into a different medium. People can quibble about Peter Jackson's decisions on the latter, but he had to make them.

He could have portrayed the Ent's decisions, and Treebeard, differently within the same time limit. Ditto for Faramir.

I hadn't caught the new writer. That might be the reason for so many wrong decisions in TT as opposed to FOTR.
