The fan edits fix that mostly.
LOTR, on the other hand, was awesome. I have a few complaints, but overall they were true to Tolkien.
I hate the extra stuff with Faramir, for example, dragging Sam and Frodo to Osgiliath. Farmer was more honorable than that, and that was a big point.
I also hate the way Frodo sides so much with Gollum on the stairs, and sends Sam packing.
But, overall awesome, like I said.
