Basically, the most important thing to me was that the spirit of Tolkien's work was preserved, not necessarily the exact events.
Peter Jackson did an incredible job with those movies!

Ok,
Anybody else think the film failed at the end (from a perspective of the
final chapter in the book). The return to the shire was very poorly
executed.
The place was supposed to have been wrecked and under an oppressive rule.
The 4 hobbits should have come in and kicked butt, where as before they
would have been oppressed and accepted it, thus demonstrating the huge
changes in their characters wrought by this epic journey.
Also the only reason Frodo was leaving the shire was because the blade shard
stuck in his chest was slowly moving towards his heart. The elves could
prevent this so he had to go with them.
Loved the bowing of everybody to the 4 hobbits. All very impressive up to
then although the Oliphant/elf surfing scene was a tad OTT.
