The LOTR movie series made me angry. They messed up half the characters, and left out the rest, it seems.

Yeah, that's the way I feal. I hated what they did with Arwen and especially Faramir. In the book, he wasn't even temped by the Ring.
Now this is a topic I could talk about for hours!
I'd agree with you on some points, but in some places they improved it. Characters such as Tom Bombadil slowed down the action and kind of made the first book a bit boring, so that's why they removed them from the trilogy. Glorfindel's absence can be excused, as his role was replaced by Arwen(ugh!). But yes, I hated Arwen in the movie. Faramir was only slightly tempted, and when he overcomes the temptation, I liked him even more. Frodo was horrible though. Bad, ugly actor, and almost every girl in my school has a picture of him. Legolas was made out to be an invincible type guy, which I neither hated nor appreciated. Sam and Pippin were improved upon, I'd say, and they're the coolest hobbits!
The reason why they didn't include the part with "Sharkey" and the ruffians is because it wouldn't end the movie fulfillingly. It's much better to end it happily with Frodo & Bilbo going gloriously to the undying lands, than to end it with a few dirty hobbits conquering the polluted wreck that was once their home. Besides, the end of the book shows Saruman as an idiotic wimp. In the movie, he ends his glory with a defeat. He was a very powerful guy, but was stopped. That's better than portraying him as a wimpy little trick magician who lives, but with no glory or dignity.
I didn't like "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" because it wasn't fulfulling. I didn't know when to take it seriously, and when not to. Sure, some parts were funny, but overall it's just a goofed up excuse for a good movie. I never felt any positive emotions towards any characters, so I really didn't care what happened to them.
