My dad bought it on Tuesday. We watched it then
It kind of ticked my dad off I think... They changed or added a few details that weren't in the books. The only scenes I think that he really liked was the "Elven Rope" scene and that scene with Merry and Pippin after the Ents take Isengard.
I thought it was neat. Didn't have that "Wow, new scene!" feeling like FotR did though... Except for the two scenes already mentioned...
