Saw the first show, opening day.  It was great.  I felt I got my monies worth 
within the first five minutes.  (you'll know why when you see it.  Sit near the 
front and hang on!)  Gollum was also really intense.  Someone finally did his 
character justice!  There were some deviations from the books, like the Entmoot 
was different, their little trip with Faramir that never happened, the...well, 
better stop now...Suffice to say, there was some other differences,  but, I 
felt that Jackson did a good job staying in the spirit of the book.  Some parts 
of a book just aren't good movie material, and some things end up getting added 
so a movie appeals to a broader audience, or to help explain things in 1 minute 
instead of 1 hour.  (heh, my version would be a 36 hour mini-series! :-) I'm  
really looking forward to the next one.  If I had to draw any comparisons, I'd 
say it was sorta like Empire Strikes Back, only better.  Darker, not quite as 
good as the first movie, but it leaves you with an insatiable desire to see how 
the next one turns out.  It's gonna be a loooong year waiting... <sigh>

they didn't deviate from the damn story.
