What was hacked for you in the LotR movies? The only egregious hacking I noticed in the movies was the character assassination of Faramir.

I must disagree on Harry Potter. All the moves after Columbus stopped directing them were bad. From angry-American Dumbledore, to Fiennes’s bizzare Voldemort, to Hermione being bolstered at the expense of Ron.

Name one place in the movies, one single line of dialog, where Gimli is not changed into a clown (compared to the book).
