Already saw it... twice! (Lucky me!)
Totally agree with FeedMeTV:

The Arwen scenes didn't bother me too much, it kept reminding me that they were in love and that Eyowen (spelling dodgy I know!) should keep her paws off Aragorn

And I kept thinking that when I read the book, too.
(Bothered my friend senseless when I kept "flicking" Eowen on the second viewing
)
The "exorcism" of Theodin did seem a bit over the top, but in three hours of film, they simply didn't have the TIME to spend on doing it the "right way."
Same with the Ents.
There simply wasn't enough time for filmgoers to wait for the Ents to take three days (or more?) on the Ent Moot or even to assemble for it. The Hobbits may be "hasty" but we are, too, and PJ just had to allow for that.
Mind, I didn't have these problems when I saw FotR because I had yet to read the book, but now that I have, I can see the changes immediately as the film unfolds. And, as a seasoned film fan, I know to
expect such changes in works as epic as Lord of the Rings.
In spite of my own misgivings, the film was really outstanding... at least as good as FotR... and deserving of several Oscars. The scope, the acting, the cinematography, the music, the SFX, even the extras are just breathtaking.
See this film as soon as you can... and see it again. I KNOW I missed some things because of the crowd's excitment, laughter and outbursts.
But it's all a plus.
