My thoughts (short to semi-short)

Of course with any book to movie there are going to be different. I don't feel as a whole there are dramatic differences. There are aspects of the books that I enjoy but don't mind losing (Tom Bombadil and the extended Ent sequences) and there are things added that I don't care for in the movies (Change to Faramir, Frodo showing the ring to the Nazgul, Frodo sending Sam away) . So I look at both of these as nearly perfect with the same heart and essence within them. The books and the movies mean a lot to me so I understand how a negative reaction can feel if how I feel is so positive. For me when it comes to negative opinions I listen and take them under consideration to a point. It's when someone starts calling hacks or something to that effect I turn them off. It's not to be rude but if you go off the reservation there is no common ground to really be had. So for me it becomes someone whose opinion I gloss over.

It could be even more interesting to hold a separate discussion posing the flip side of your question
