Not so with TTT. I don't have any problem with additions/subtractions/plot alterations etc. For the most part, I think everything worked well together and made sense. I think there were two main things I didn't care for in TTT: what's become of Faramir and the battle at Helms Deep. In the case of Faramir, I can say that my disgruntlement (is that a word?) was because I really loved his character in the book, and I felt his character, in this particular film, was changed significantly. I don't like it when a character I like has been altered for the worse. (On the other hand, I love what they did with Thorin in AUJ, a character I couldn't care less about in the book. Which just goes to show you my unjust judgement in the former case. At least I recognize my own hypocrisy.) But I think he redeemed himself in ROTK. Helms Deep was fun to watch the first time. After that, I found it long and boring. At least I had no desire to rewatch TTT as I did FOTR, which I couldn't seem to get enough of, and even ROTK when it came out the next year. Maybe it was the middle-child syndrome. Oh, and I also didn't care for the ending music, Gollum's song. On the upside, I absolutely adored Theoden's soliloquy, reciting the "Where is the horse and the rider?", as he was getting his armor put on. I get chills just thinking about it.
