It really depends on your personal opinion of the movies. I think there were a bajillion pro's! The special effects were fantastic, the script was perfect, and I can't even begin to describe how much I love the acting (Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan, Billy Boyd... the list goes on forever). That aside, I honestly can't think of a con.

Con: Arwen stole Glorfindel's horse.

In my opinion, it was VERY badly scripted at the end. The first thing they teach anyone writing fiction is "When you reach the end of your plot arc, stop writing." The end of the plot arc in LOTR is Frodo throwing the Ring into Mount Doom, right? Then explain the half hour of "useless junk" at the end.

Peter Jackson endeavored to follow Tolkien's plots as well as he could. Tolkien wrote about how things turned out for all the characters in the end (e.g. Aragorn's coronation, the parting of the Ring-Bearers, Sam's marriage, etc.) and Peter Jackson followed through as best he could. There was no "useless junk", it was only written the way Tolkien intended it to be, nothing more. Unless you're calling Tolkien's novels "useless junk", that is...
