Oh, definately different.  Infact, I picked up on ALOT more things 
the second time than I did the first time.  I had *just* finished 
reading the book when I went into the theater and watched it...and, I 
will admit, I was *hating* it in the beginning.  I was just sitting 
there going "WTH?! They cut- no, wait, what about- hey! What 
the...".  I'm just glad I knew ahead of time that Tom Bombadil was 
going to be gone, otherwise I might have been even more upset.  But 
then it got to Rivendell...and that's where I really got into it.  
When I watched it the second time, I think I appreciated it more for 
being a movie instead of an interpretation of the book(maybe Chris 
Columbus should think about that one, eh? =P).  

I can't wait for the second movie, although I'm a little peeved at 
Shelob being moved around.  And the Scouring of the Shire will be 
gone, also, from the third movie...now, how in the world are they 
going to end it?
