I don't remember this book as well as the other two, so you won't find me pointing out discrepancies here. No, while I realized that the ending didn't quite match the book, I thought it was a very satisfying end to the movie...
The performances were outstanding. Sean Astin had such a role to play (as Sam)... I can hardly believe how well the material worked on the big screen. Hats off to Fran and Philippa (and Peter too, I guess)! :-)
I don't know what else to say... Other than, I'll be seeing it again very shortly. :-)
