I think the live version did the best it was humanly possible to do.  Peter Jackson did a wonderful job, even though I was disappointed that some parts were changed or left out.  It's the movie business, after all, and they had to make a movie that would keep viewers.
 
I don't much care about the eagles--I think the relationship was shown.  For the movies' sake I thought it good that they fleshed Arwen out a little more.  

I'm personally GLAD they didn't try to take on Tom Bombadil...he is, in my opinion, something no human actor could really pull off.  

I realize also that Jackson sent Haldir and the elves to Helms Deep to add some dynamics and press home the point that this was the last big push of the elves--that they were a dying race.  I think that, cinematically, that was a good move.

But while Elijah Wood is a wonderful actor...he was too young.  Frodo is supposed to be fifty--older than the other three hobbits, and it's obvious that he's the youngest, in the movies.

I have other complaints...but overall it think that artistically and cinematically, this was one of the best movies I've ever seen.  (Strange point, but the ROTK credits were the most artistic and interesting I've seen, too.)

The live-action Lord of the Rings are the best movies ever made!!! The cartoon versions were pathetic! If I had seen them before Jackson's version, I probably wouldn't have bothered! THe animation is an insult to the story- and Tolkien!

Definitely the Live Action movies. Jackson did an amazing job.

Don't forget also that some of the other story material will be filled in in the extended version coming out very soon.

O' Brothers and Sisters, this really is a jolly good trilogy. I especially liked the Christian message contained in the 'battle of helms deep' scenes.
