For me it's less what they cut out and more about the shit they changed or even inserted.

On one hand Jackson complained about lacking the time to bring everything he wants to add into the movie, but on the other hand he adds the completely unnecessary Warg-Rider attack in the second movie... how does that make any sense? Not to mention that with the stupid scene he almost got one of his lead actors killed.

Or the almost superhuman effort with which the Rohirrim took down the Mumakil (or whatever the Mamoth were called again) being repalced by boring green CGI ghosts and Legolas acting out a jump'n'run game that makes the enemies look ridiculous rather than dangerous.

I could go on at inordinate length, but I think I better stop here. ^^
